Japanese Title: Bokujou Monogatari Korobokkuru Suteeshon (Harvest Moon: Sprite's Station)
General Information
* Current release date: 2005
* The environment for the game is in Forgotten Valley, the same area used for the Gamecube and Ps2 versions of A Wonderful Life. The game may possibly take place 100 years after AWL.
* The DS has game slots to handle a DS cartrige and a GBA cartrige at the same time. You can plug in your copy of FoMT (boy and/or girl) into the DS to unlock new events and items in the DS version of the game. Two of the items you can receive are a DVD to play on your TV set and a "Mineral Information Newspaper".
* The DS has two screens; the top screen will display your character in the Valley, the second screen will display your rucksack inventory. When you are talking with a villager, the Inventory screen goes away and their portrait and message text will appear in the bottom screen.
* The morning has been described as "foggy" but clears up as daytime proceeds. FoMT already does something similar to this with the colors on the screen.
Animals
* The same animals appear in the DS version as in the GC/Ps2 version. You will have Cows ("Brown" and "Normal" cows have been seen), a Horse, Cat, Dog, Ducks, Sheep, and Chickens.
* To harvest produce from a Cow or Sheep you have to use the DS' stylus pen to interact with the animal.
* Petting the Dog also requires the stylus pen.
* You can also wash your animals like in A Wonderful Life
* The Chicken festival has been changed to be more of a judgement of breeding than a sumo fight. It will take place on Summer 7.
People
* Known Returning residents: Ban, Cliff, Romana, Popuri, and the Circus Girl from the Ps2 game (I can't remember her name).
* New Harvest Sprites: Dealer (card shark), Afro (big green hair), Abacus (math), Baby (crawling sprite), and Leader (commander-like).
* The Sprites will let you know of events that happen on your farm, even if you're off wandering the valley.
* There is a new Goddess introduced; unlike the Harvest Goddess from the past, this new Witch Goddess is evil.
* If HMDS does take place 100 years after AWL, that might explain the name differences; on the screen shots Romana's name is listed as Banama, Cliff is Harifu, and Popuri's name starts with the letter A. The characters in HMDS may be decendents of the originals.
Crops
* You will be able to grow trees (Peach is confirmed)
* Crops have "levels"
* You can cook
"Good morning, Morikana-san! Tomorrow the Chicken Festival will be at the Beach."
"Hey, is the work finished? It is difficult every day, isn't it."
