About this product

Product Information

Natsume's unusual series of farming games comes to Game Boy Advance with the release of Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town. As in previous titles, players can go about their day as they see fit, with the overall goal being to become profitable while planting and harvesting various crops or raising livestock. After a hard day's work overseeing the day-to-day operations of the farm, players can visit the city to talk with the locals, spend some time fishing in a nearby pond, or embark on various other side-quests and mini-games. Romance is also part of the series, and characters can eventually marry, have children, and own pets. Friends of Mineral Town also interfaces with the GameCube version of Harvest Moon: It's a Wonderful Life, allowing players access to specific events and other bonuses.

Wish it would've shipped in a bubble envelope instead of a paper one, but it arrived as described at a very low price, so I can't really complain. A+ Seller. Cheers!

Top Ebayer! A++++++ Exactly as described, nicely packaged, good price and arrived quickly. (if you see 3 items with similar reviews of mine for this seller, that's because I ordered 3 things on the same day from this seller and they were all excellent!) Thanks!!

The Most "Harvest Moon" You Can Get
[The cartridge came in perfect condition, right on time, and works perfectly! Absolutely worth the price!] If you're looking for the best handheld Harvest Moon game in the franchise, this is it - pretty graphics (accounting for the era of the game, of course), detailed and busy gameplay, all the classic romance and social structure, and the simplicity of the franchise that we've all come to adore. The major difference between "More Friends of Mineral Town" and "Friends of Mineral Town" is the sex of your character - in MFoMT, you're female and romance male bachelors, and in FoMT, you're male and romance female bachelorettes. Besides that, there are only minor differences in the overall impact of the game. How this game stands out in the franchise: Simple And In-Depth: Unlike more ... [The cartridge came in perfect condition, right on time, and works perfectly!

The major difference between "More Friends of Mineral Town" and "Friends of Mineral Town" is the sex of your character - in MFoMT, you're female and romance male bachelors, and in FoMT, you're male and romance female bachelorettes. Besides that, there are only minor differences in the overall impact of the game. How this game stands out in the franchise: Simple And In-Depth: Unlike more recent HM games, this one relies a lot on your ability to discover. From the shipping cost of items to learning how to eat food, this game does NOT give you all the answers right off the bat, but does a good job in getting you just far enough to figure it out yourself. Despite the challenge of discovery, the game features more simplistic chores. Mining is no longer the long, tedious and day-consuming task it usually is, fishing is no longer the anxietous quick-draw spectacle it usually is, and everyday farming tasks are without frills and excess difficulty. Everything is simple and meshes seamlessly... once you get the hang of it. Variety: Unlike other HM games, MFoMT offers a number of long-forgotten specialties. One in particular is the Basket. Besides your rucksack, players can purchase and carry a basket around to throw up to 30 items into, and then dump the contents of the basket into the shipping bin. This sort of bulk shipping method makes for speedier chores and much less monotonous running-around. This game also features a very large jumble of festivals with genuinely enjoyable prizes and mini-games to keep you interested. Good-Old GBA Charm: The game isn't up-to-date, sure. There's no 3D graphics, it's all pixelated with chiptune music, and there are a few bumpy translations... but the game ages swimmingly! The classic 90's anime-esque features of each character artwork mixes right in with the turn of the Harvest Moon westernized style, meaning the nostalgia never goes away but the game never gets old. When you get down to it, the game is a definitive shining star for the franchise. Highly recommended!

The best farming game is still around!
I think this is the best game series ever developed. It takes the simplist elements of life: Friendship, Work, and Love and makes them fun and interesting day after day. It's one of the simplist games out there, though there is depth to be had if you are willing to find and explore it, and yet it manages to be completely engrossing for days on end. I played this on my DS and I'm not through the first year yet. My sister however has been through 3 years, is married, has a kid, and a large and expanded house! Pros: Fun gameplay, intuitive, charming art style, and a VERY long replay value... you could, and will, play this game for months. Cons: Simple Graphics, even for GBA. Minimal sounds (what is there is ok). Conclusion: This is the best non-violent game in existance... PERIOD. The ... I think this is the best game series ever developed.

The only reason I don't give it 5/5 is because the graphics and sound are not what they should be. Do not hesitate to perchase this game, it is great! -Garrett

Mineral Town is great, but the gameplay is so-so
I bought this game mainly so I could interact with the Mineral Town characters in the DS game, Harvest Moon Cute. I haven't actually played the game that much, since it's hard to get used to the controls, which feel awkward, and the load time between areas is painfully slow. Additionally the backpack feature is reverted to the one used in the NG6 and PS1 versions, where you start out with a pack that only holds three items and three tools, which makes gathering nearly impossible. The town is HUGE so it takes me several days just to get a few things done. I'm not too big on the gameplay and I really wish you could go IN to Mineral Town when using the DS version of this, but it is nice to be able to see my favourite Mineral Town characters in the Valley.

Overall I'd rather play the DS version; the graphics are a lot better and gameplay is a whole lot smoother, and easier to navigate. The gameplay of the N64 and PS1 games just don't translate well to a handheld system; you really need the controllers and the big screen for the full effects of this particular style of gameplay. The DS version handles way better.

Great Repo
Even though it’s not original, it’s still functions like the OEM game, childhood favorite and I love playing it again! My only and ONLY, complaint is the label is slightly off colored, which doesn’t affect its value in my opinion! Great game, shopping was fast! I plan on buying more!

More of the Same but Still Good.
This is pretty much a small scale rehash of Harvest Moon Back To Nature for the Psone. If you are a fan of the series, this game is a good one to have. More of the same farming, wooing of girls and all of the other aspects of farm life that make the Harvest Moon series interesting. Not really a lot of new innovations in this game or much change in story or dialoge. However, it's still a pretty solid port. Bonus if you have Harvest Moon DS because when you put Friends of Mineral Town in the GBA slot while you play HM DS, you get some pretty cool extra content.This is pretty much a small scale rehash of Harvest Moon Back To Nature for the Psone.
