How to get a girlfriend in 1 day; show her your dog 50 times.

To think i spent more than a year ingame time to have a relationship with Karen, buying and wrapping dozens of wine bottles every game day. And you could just show her the dog.

My reaction when I first heard of Harvest Moon for the SNES was: "A game where you do farm work? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard." Later on, my mom picked up Back to Nature for the PS1 and I decided to give it a try. Then my reaction was "My god...need more chickens, MORE CHICKENS!"

Thanks for having me on, Shane! Harvest Moon is one of my favorite game franchises of all time. =)

OH BOY MY TURNIPS HAVE REACHED THE THIRD LEVEL OF THEIR GROWTH CYCLE!

I love hidden secrets and exploits of games, and those Harvest Moon ones were so interesting! I find the ones about Karen, and the TV "death" warning hilarious. One little bit of trivia I like to mention when talking about Harvest Moon is that in A Wonderful Life, your spouse can actually leave you, taking your child, if you neglect them and choose the wrong dialogue options at a certain cutscene. Then it goes to Takakura saying to your deceased father that you were never ready for marriage and the farm life, and the game ends. And although it's not really trivia, in A Wonderful Life, my friends and I found a pretty significant glitch. In the first years of having your child, when he is a toddler, you can pick him up and carry him around. And whenever you put down your toddler, he always runs straight back home. But there is a certain spot, in the shadows near the hill going up to town (where you can go to connect Friends of Mineral Town to Wonderful Life) where if you put down your child there, he will become frozen in place. You can still talk to him, but you can't pick him up, and he won't walk home, and so you have to leave him there until it's night time and your wife freaks out because the child isn't home, and goes to find him. After that cutscene, the child will be back. I've never come across anybody besides my friends and I who know of this glitch. It's just something we came across completely by chance.

staff of 3 over 6 months! that's impressive

Between this Final Fantasy ,Eartbound and Pokemon. Does every classic Japanese RPG has a heartbreaking story about how the developer barely managed to release the game after working tirelessly and sleeping in the office ?

Honestly, you could've done like ten episodes on Harvest Moon.The game had a lot of easter eggs and exploits.

Love the ever bloody hell outta Harvest Moon games :D

i want to see animal crossing and harvest moon combined

I can never forget Back to Nature... The winter theme just too perfect. The feeling and the memories... Oh I want to play it again now...

Am I the only one who wants to know more about the whole "the company's president went missing" thing? I can't find any more info on it online (it's just interviews mentioning "the president went missing, literally") and it's just mentioned so flippantly like it's nothing. What exactly do they even mean?! Did he just wander off and stop contacting the company, or did he get kidnapped or something?

Now I wanna go back and play Harvest Moon again.

How about a video on Rune Factory?

I'm glad PBG did this video :) knowing he loved the series I'm sure he was more than happy to do it ^-^

PBG just has a great voice.

In the more cartoony Harvest Moon game on the GameCube, if you push a cow into your mailbox, it will disappear and reappear in your barn the next day. When I rented the game, I discovered this within minutes and wondered how nobody ever caught that glitch.

I always wondered why it was called Harvest Moon.. makes sense!

MORE! Harvest Moon part 2 please! ='DDD

As soon as I heard that theme music, I got so happy, you have no idea! And then the Winter theme music sent shivers of nostalgia up my spine. That was great!

Now it's a requirement that you make a DYKG on Rune Factory.

Why are people comparing this to Animal Crossing and Farmville when this whole "Did You Know" basically spoke on it's SNES origin which means this game came years before Animal crossing or Farmville were concepts.

I don't know I should love farms or fear them. Sometimes they feed me, and sometimes they try to kill and eat me.

Harvest Moon 64 was one of my favorite games. Peaceful, rewarding, unexpectedly fun. I had no idea it'd be so cool. Plus, every girl in the town wanted me, so I was definitely, if only virtually, the town stud.

The one I played the most was the GC version "A wonderful life". I couldn't finish it though, no matter how far I got, the game kept opening another chapter of his life in between 2 to 3 years. It took too long just to see a new phase and how slowly I got through even one year I just couldn't finish it. It had already too many repetitive things, all my crops were rank S, I had a lot of money I didn't need to use, my farm was expanded to the max and I had all animals available. And all events of the year were exactly the same with no change, even the cutscenes and dialogues repeated. I wish I could've done more in the game to see it through the end, but at that point I just couldn't go on with it.

I don't know if there's much trivia about it, but you could do an episode on Rune Factory. It's a spin off of Harvest Moon that simply added combat, but people liked it so much it started a separate franchise of its own, presently at Rune Factory 4 for the 3DS.

Of course PBG would do this one

ANNE FOR LIFEEEE!

Possibly one of the most chill games right next to Animal Crossing.

I love you guys so much for doing this. The harvest moon franchises it's one of my favorites, and it's nice to see it get some recognition.

more harvest moon.

It's weird seeing/hearing a video with PBG that doesn't start with "HEY EVERYBODY, I'M PEANUT-BUTTER GAMER!"

Wait, all I had to do was show Karen my puppy...

the amount of times I'm like "I need to relax so I'm gonna play a game where I run a farm and try to do all the side parts in town"

Farmville will never trump this series.

Harvest Moon 64 is the best in my opinion but Natsume claims it's "impossible to emulate" and will "never be re-released" Seriously!?

PBG I KNOW you didnt do all that reading on your first try. Come on. It's PBG.

You have no idea how much I loved Back to Nature and the N64 version. Great vid!

Harvest Moon fan for life! Have almost all of the games (I own over 25 of their games, I lost count at this point).. been playing since the start. Beautiful series.. gotta love it!

Aaah just hearing the winter music again reminds me of my love for the series. Back to Nature on PSX is my favourite.

"Did you know? THE INSPIRATION FOR HARVEST MOON CAME FROM..."

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Part two please!

Hurray you did Harvest Moon! I love this series and Innocent Life too.

This makes me want to play Harvest Moon, but I don't own any HM games... I guess my Rune Factory 4 will satisfy my farming needs.

HM has been one of my favorite game series ever. Just thought I'd put that out there. It's fun. I like it.

I'm happy PBG got to do this episode of DYKG. Many of his older video have shown his passion for Harvesty Moon

Awww, I love the Harvest Moon games! Thanks for doing a great video on the series :D

Harvest moon is one of my favorite games. I'm a 21 year old guy and my friends can't get what I love about it. lol If you guys like Harvest Moon, check out Gin no Sai(Silver Spoon). It's like an Anime Harvest Moon.

Since you have done Harvest Moon, can you do Rune Factory now, please? (It would kind of make sense to do it, since you have done Harvest Moon.)

I was so excited when I saw a video about one of my favorite game series. So many good memories playing Harvest Moon...

I loved every second of this as Harvest Moon is my favorite franchise!!! Thank you!

Jinsei monotagari means life story, not life farm.

Some of the soundtracks of Harvest Moon in this videos really hits me so hard, oh childhood ;_;

_Harvest Moon_ for the SNES is the most oddly-addicting game ever made.

so glad you did one for harvest moon. would love to see more

So when exactly is DYKGaming going to do a Fire Emblem video?

The first Harvest Moon is great, the Gamecube one was an unforgettable adventure I grew up with and the DS one was one of the funnier ones. But, the 64 version was definitely the most memorable experience I ever had with the series. The activities were great, the brides were spunky and it was incredible. It had an update, and it looked great and all, but the 3D felt out of place. The game was so much more fun in its original, native N64 appearance. Sad thing is, they will release the other updated "Friends of Mineral Town" instead of "Harvest Moon 64" just because the first suffered bad sales, I believe. It sure seems that it will happen that way for Virtual Console, but the store does have a few clone games so they might do both, actually. I personally would not mind both, as there are some that enjoyed the GBA version; and I like the N64 version, so it would be a win-win situation. Either way, I hope we at least get the version I want; I liked playing it a lot more and getting drunk; that was really fun. Oh, and the exploration value is phenomenal.

I can't believe this, Harvest Moon honestly has to be one of my favorite game series, if not my favorite

Harvest Moon 64, one of my favorite games growing up. Been a while but it'd probably still be one of my favorites.

Could you also do a "Did you Know Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons" video? (An updated one, maybe centered around the current two series and the Natsume/Marvelous/XSeed split?)

I used to really like the old Harvest Moon game I played on Gameboy. I wonder why I never got more into the series.

Harvest moon is one of my favorite series of all time. Been playing since SNES...wow I think its been over 15 years I been playing this series.

in many harvest moon video, music from back to nature always played on the background.... that music so iconic to the series lol

Damn, I might have to play a Harvest Moon game now.

A small correction: 人生物語 (jinsei monogatari) translates to "Life Story", not "Life Farm." The "monogatari" is the same word that's used in 牧場物語 ("Farm Story"). Great video!

Brings back a lot of memories. Dang. The sound, the countryside feel, that dog... how I wish it's still the early 2000's.

Just want to say I love that there's no forced humour in these videos; sometimes you want a gaming channel without deliberately corny comedy throughout - doesn't mean it's serious, just normal.

1:55 Jinsei Monogatari／人生物語？ That's "Life Story" which would explain why the Jinsei was changed to Bokujyou／牧場 (farm)

Do Rune Factory next!!!

Awesome video, these have always been my favorite games.

Harvest Moon is my favourite Game Franchise of all the time, thank you DYKG team for making this episode! :D

I'm so happy that they made a Harvest Moon Did You Know Gaming. I absolutely love Harvest Moon and it makes it even better that PBG did it! :D Though, about half of these facts I already knew. XD

1:55 "... Jinsei Monogatari, which translates to Life Barn." Except it doesn't? It translates to Life Story.

Playing harvest moon was actually the final push that let me get the guts to convince my mum that we should have a veggie garden so my sister and I could learn how to grow vegetables properly, since she lived on a farm as a child and we never had an opportunity to have a garden until we moved. Three years later I know just about everything I need to know about growing and storing crops, and we're enjoying delicious home grown veggies every year, all throughout the year ;)

at 2:30 when the winter theme from friends of mineral town started I got such a nostalgia chill.

Psx music from harvest moon is so fucking nostalgic for me.

Did you know Rune Factory!!

Harvest moon, did you know gaming and peanut butter gamer all in one video, man Laurie is going to love this

I remember spending hours on Harvest Moon for the SNES. For some reason, the Harvest Moon series is so addicting. I'm still playing Friends of Mineral Town to this day.

_why would they remove same sex marriages like_ _the yuri could have been _*_so strong_*

Stardank Valley is also really good, definitely recommended, i LOVE that game, although never played Harvest Moon, but since people keep saying that Mountaindew Valley is inspired by Harvest Weed, i thought i might give this videos a try.

WOO! Harvest Moon! xD Love it so much. The original Mineral Town version has always been my favorite.

I dont know why, but 30 seconds in a smile was beginning to grow, and i cant stop smiling. Damn you, harvest moon. I love you!

Some additions: Did you know that Harvest Moon: Back To Nature on the PS1 had a game breaking glitch where the game would lock up when you got married? Natsume issued an apology and sent out new copies for free to all players who contacted them about the glitch. Did you know that the Harvest Moon games that allowed for playing as female were generally never released outside of Japan and at times the US because of the mentality in the industry in the west about females as playable leads? It took time but eventually the Harvest Moon series would become more diverse outside of Japan in regards of offering players the choice of playing as female or male, many of the games never got released in Europe though and one Harvest Moon title, Magical Melody, was cut in half so to remove the female playable lead in Europe. The usual attitude about allowing for playing as female came from the romance options, many developers feel that if a male playing as female has their character fall in love with a male that it would be promoting homosexuality and make the male player homosexual in effect. A very stupid and narrow attitude for sure. I love the series, more so since it began allowing for playing as female. I feel the series improved a lot once that choice was finally offered. Also did you know that Harvest Moon DS was such a buggy and glitch filled game that the female version released much later fixed many of the glitches and was found to be a vastly better game as a whole.

Oomg i love pbg so much

Those musics. Sudden nostalgia feels hits me.

Harvest Moon is my favorite game series and I was so excited to see that you did a DYKG video on it!! Unfortunately, the information was not as new or interesting as it is on your other videos, and I wish you treated harvest moon with a little more care :(

Next up: Rune Factory! :D

I love the way that PBG pronounces Japanese names. Many other English speaking KZfaqrs will pronounce them strangely, but PBG does it very nicely..

The ones for the GameCube; Another Wonderful Life and magical melody were my favorites. You should definitely do a part two! :)

I love Harvest Moon but a lot of this stuff is new to me x3 Thanks for this great informative video. I'm so glad the game came out! Its one of my favorite SNES game ever.

One of my favorite things about this game was the axe (I believe it was an axe) and the well. You throw your axe in a well and a woman will appear asking if you dropped your golden axe. Just tell the truth that the golden axe is not yours and she'll give it to you anyway. :)

HARVEST MOON IS THE SHIT!

this guy made my childhood and my whole gaming life

Harvest Moon 64 was my childhood, sooo many good memories of me and my sister playing that, I would remember waking up to the sound of the whistle, running to my sisters room and sharing what new secrets or info we discovered. That's what I love about Harvest Moon, I could go back to it today and still find something new I hadn't before... they deffs need to make a next-gen harvest moon, it would look beautiful and with games like GTA IV think about how in-depth they could make it with the all the characters and what not

HM Back To Nature it's the best for me, I played it for long years and never get tired, it's awesome =D

i think the most interesting moments in harvest moon is when you are finding a wife and how you marry her (or fail miserably)

I played this on PS2 when I was young and I had been trying to remember what it was that I'd played for years. Thank you for reminding me!

I love the Harvest Moon series. I have, and have played, many of the games in the series. My two favorites are Tale of Two Towns, and Skytree Village.
