For my first Gamecube game review, I think it's fitting I choose the first Gamecube game I ever played, Harvest Moon: Magical Melody. Patreon: / pixelrose Twitter: / pixelrose96
Ended up finding this on GameStops website randomly when they stocked a bunch of used GC games. Ordered it after watching this informative and entertaining review, thank you! 😅
Thanks for the review. This is a really HavestMoon Animal Crossing edition most of the disparities with the formula can be traced to the Nintendo Game. I kinda like the chibi designs. Looks pretty good. Just wondering how many consoles do you own?
I own a few; the Wii I got to play this one on I actually got pre-owned for a good price, and I still have my PS2 & 3 and 3DS from years back. The PS4 & 5 and the Switch are of course more recent.
I remember loving this game a lot as a kid, but as an adult I keep finding more issues with it. I think my biggest complaint is the lack of heart events which is a bit hypocritical since my favorite, tree of tranquility, lacks them as well 😅 maybe I'll have to go back to it some time and try and unlock some of thr characters I never had the chance to (like dia)
Funny enough, Natsume was kind of infamous for localization mistakes when they were localizing the Harvest Moon games. I know Friends of Mineral Town in particular had quite a few.
Yeah, a lot of older games in the US can be tough sometimes to find too. Sometimes you can get lucky at places like thrift stores and other secondhand shops, though.
