Insert your Mineral Town game into the GBA Slot of your DS and play Harvest Moon DS Cute like normal. Gray will visit every Thursday and on certain festivals. In the back of the Sprite Company Tree you'll find the Casino. The casino will open after you have found the pit-boss Sprite, Roller. After the 8th of Spring (which is also the Goddess' birthday), walk across the bridge to Vesta's farm and Roller will appear. Harvest Moon DS Cute Wiki is a FANDOM Games Community. View Mobile Site.

Huge Cleanup[edit]
Huge edit, rewrote quite a bit to make it more formal/encyclopedic/etc. Removing the tone warning for now, but it can go back up if needs be. Also took down Development warning, it's been out in Japan for quite a while now.Kirbysuperstar 13:35, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Really?[edit]
Do we really need all the birthays and events? This isn't an FAQ or walkthrough. Kirbysuperstar 00:28, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
It seems like a big guide to me as well. GraveCow 12:31, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Actually, these facts helped me a lot. NazaliaSan 18:09, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Gamebox2.jpg[edit]

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

..What the hell?[edit]
This is actually kind of disturbing. Although I haven't played for that long, I'm starting to wonder: When does the horse show up? I looked it up here on wiki, and saw that you get it in a special event.Does anyone know exactly when this event is? NazaliaSan 18:12, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
(edit) Oh, sorry guys, I got the horse XDDD NazaliaSan 16:06, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
You get the horse after shipping 1000 items. -OMGTANGERINES —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.121.226.170 (talk) 20:04, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
Harvest Moon Ds
Fixed glitches?[edit]
I just purchased HMDS last week, and I have tried to access several glitches that I found online, including the missing mine monsters glitch. None of these has worked on my copy, though. Has Natsume corrected the bugs? [I do know that there are several grammar mistakes remaining.]Mandanthe1 21:30, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Citation Status[edit]
Due to the citations added to the article now, I am removing the 'Unreferenced' banner and replacing it with the 'Refimprove' banner. HMman (talk) 01:39, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
Quality check[edit]
I would like to tentatively suggest that the article may have reached the point where the {{Expert-subject}} and {{Refimprove}} tags may be removed. I believe most information that could be challenged has been cited or has been marked that it needs citation, and while the article is nowhere near finished, it is of a good enough quality those tags are unneeded anymore. HMman (talk) 21:50, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
Edition Differences[edit]
It seems the European edition has some removed content. i.e. The Casino has three times the Memory game with Poker and Black Jack missing. Also, there is no Double-or-Nothing option. Something to be worth mentioned? --93.129.50.35 (talk) 21:07, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
- I'll see what I can dig up on that, thank you for bringing that up. HMman (talk) 21:22, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
Harvest Moon first hit the United States a full decade ago on the SNES, giving gamers an entertaining and decidedly different experience from games at the time. Since then the series has evolved slowly, with small additions making for a more complete package. Consequently, despite the unique opportunities of the system Harvest Moon DS just doesn't feel that much different then Friends of Mineral Town on the GBA.
Harvest Moon DS is one of the few installments in the series that doesn't follow your inheritance of the farm from your grandpa. Instead, you're tasked with saving the Harvest Goddess and her Sprites who have been unintentionally sent to another world by the Witch Princess. How do you do this? By running a successful farm of course!
There are a lot of things to do in Harvest Moon; you'll get to grow crops, care for animals, court a girl, gamble, and much more. Harvest Moon's open ended nature has always been its greatest strength, but for newer players this can lead to a problematic lack of direction. Veterans on the other hand might find it hard to shake the feeling that you've done this all before.
Further adding to the deja-vu is the fact the game looks and sounds exactly like its predecessors. With the home versions having long since made the jump to 3d, it would have been nice to see at least some change to the Harvest Moon aesthetic. Again, this is really only an issue for veterans of the series because the game never looked bad.
Many were probably hoping that the DS touch screen would offer up some new tricks for the franchise. Unfortunately the stylus implementation is half baked and you'll mostly use the stylus to navigate menus. By picking up an item cleverly entitled 'Touch Screen Glove'? you'll unlock a few minigames where you can manually pet, sheer or milk your animals. This is a fun diversion the first few times, but it's hamstrung by the fact that actually playing the minigames is far more time consuming then simply automatically petting, sheering or milking your animals with one button. Overall the implementation of the touch screen feels like an afterthought more then a fully implemented feature.
On its own merits, Harvest Moon DS is still a pretty good game. It follows the Harvest Moon formula to the letter, and that ultimately makes it just as good as previous installments in the series. If you're new to the series this is a fine place to start, but if you've already played Friends of Mineral Town you've already seen much of what this game has to offer.
