As I said I'll be re-playing all games from this one all the way up to Animal Parade! Which review are you the most excited for?

I wish nintendo would put all the old harvest moon games on the switch, i would really love to play all of them!

I played this on an SNES emulator as a teenager and I loved it. I fell in love with the genre. I played this so many times back then.

One thing I learned pretty fast is that time stops once it becomes night. You will never stay awake though the entire night. So all farming work that is not selling stuff can be done during the night without penalties, like cleaning the farm,, planting and watering crops and gathering wood. If you run out of stamina, just go to the hot springs. Save the day time for harvesting, gathering items to sell, fishing, shopping and talking to people.

This was my first Harvest Moon game and kind of still my favorite. Sure the newer ones have much more content, but I kind of like the simplicity of this game. That's why I find it easy to come back to and replay it once in a while again.

This is wonderful! I love learning about the history of the making of these games. Thank you for including it!

This is the very first game I've ever completed. This series means so much to me

Oh my GOD! This is nostalgia, I was a kid back then. Now I have to play it again!

I SOOOO look forward to this series!!! Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons is one of my favorite game series of all time. I recently tried to replay the first HM on SNES, but had a hard time getting into it. Back to Nature and 64 on the other hand!!! I played thos recently and lost myself in them immediately!

I played this game around 2017 and I enjoyed it. I liked how simple is was no saving the harvest goddess story just a game where you take care of your farm.The music is also very good in this game.

This brought me back when I first played this 20 years ago. It is amazing to see where farming life sims have come. Harvest Moon was revolutionary. There's a nostalgia dopamine hit I get from watching this gameplay again. I long for the days when video games made me feel the same way.

OMG great idea for a series! It was such a unique concept. Can't wait for more. I also like the vintage graphics

So glad I found your channel. My favorite games are the original harvest moon series, then story of seasons, and rune factory.

I’m super excited for this series! The first video was awesome. The SNES harvest moon will always be in my top 5 because of nostalgia. The sprite work and over all look of the game is so pleasing to me and along with the music just makes it’s worth playing (in my opinion). I can’t wait for the next video!

Near the end of the SNES era, I used to see tons of this game sitting on the Target game shelf for months. I regret not buying a copy now. Easily a top 5 SNES game for me.

Really interesting to see the gameplay of old. I've of course known of the game but never sat down and played it or watched a comprehensive review of it. You painted a good picture of it! I feel like I got a good grasp of it. It's amazing how much of it still remains the core of farming games today.

11:23 the horse decided you weren't allowed to sell that one potato!

I bought a copy of the SNES game around 1999/2000 and since then I really love the series! Great video! I‘m excited for more content

I knew this game's history already, but I'm so happy you included this story in your video🥺 I also watched other interviews (ex. one with the Harvest Moon creator together with the Stardew Valley creator) and it was so wholesome and inspirational... I was at the verge of tearing up😹💗 More people nowadays should be made aware of how it all started. Also, your conclusion was on point 😌👌

I just recently discovered this game. As a kid who grew up with a SNES, has heard of the game, and never played it. I absolutely loved it and this was a great analysis/review of the game. Looking forward to discovering the rest of the main series console games along with this series.

My first was one on the Gameboy. It's interesting to see some of the similarities they maintained up until then. The winter season looked and sounded very similar to my first experiences with that game. Can't wait to see the rest of this series. Especially for the games I did not get to play yet.

The Harvest Moon series are my absolute favorite games! My first game was Save the Homeland for PS2, and it was just randomly given to me by an older cousin (I still have it 20 years later). I've been obsessed since! I not only still play these today but make an effort to just collect physical copies of all of them (even if I dont have the system to play them on 😅) I'm so excited for your videos!

I’m exited to hear you talk about Hero of leaf valley mostly because it had such a limited release being on the psp in America. So many harvest moon players just never got to play this remake. Which had one of the better stories upgraded with the new characters. I still have my psp and it’s so pretty on the console.

I definitely look forward to you playing all these games. I have a special place for the N64 game and Playstation version in my heart but Trio of Towns took #1.

I remember playing similar Harvest Moon game on gameboy it is currently available on eshop in 3Ds. There was something about of game which made me interested in farming sim could do with charm and simplicity growing crops and raising animals. Most of games I've played on SNES were Super Mario platformers or racing. I didn't have much game in past and never had N64 or Game cube. I didn't like controls on the Wii. Only after when I brought 2Dsxl and Switch did I get more in farming sim genre. Like I said before I usually play JRPGs, action, strategy. I'm excited to see your reviews on other HM games.

The 1st one was the Blueprint for ALL Farming games to me. Challenging and Fun.

OMG this is my first HM game 🥺❤ too bad it has 2 1/2 years only butbI played it a lot of times and married different cabsidates each time

My goodness this Video brings back memories. I LOVED! this game and played it for hours! Pretty sure i still have it somewhere, time to rummage aeound in my storage 😂

This was such a great game. As for the n64 one I couldn't tell I don't think it was ever released in Europe. This one and the very limited version on Game Boy are the only entries in the series I have played.

Back to Nature was my first one, and I played it a lot. This one though I have played a handful of times more recently. I never had any Nintendo systems growing up until the GBA came out.

I'm also a lifelong fan of this series but I started with the GameBoy version of this game. A simple and cut down version, but the basics were there and planted the seeds to get me to fall in love with the genre. At some point when I was a teenager, I decided to play this version and really loved it. Hours and hours sitting down and playing the game, I felt like a little kid again! It's been years since then though and now I look at those memories with the same fondness as my memories of the experience playing the GameBoy version, maybe it's time to revisit it.

I saw younger people talking about Harvest Moon as "a game that copied Stardew Valley, but is fine on it's own I guess" and I lost my marbles.

I do love that they made the marriage candidates from this game into the grandmothers of the traditional girls

Best game and it's so relaxing😊😍

This was pretty nostalgic memories

my favorite game when I was a kid!

I still have my old Harvest Moon game. 😀 I should see if it still works one of these days.

my first farming game is Harvest Moon DS MT

Even if the studio had a couple issues that made the game not have all the features they wanted to add, is still quite impressive how much content it had in a time where memory cards where very límites at the time. It also created a new genre of simulation games which are still played and become popular a couple of years ago. I would also recomend the Did You Know Gaming video about Harvest Moon to know a bit more how the series started. 8:50 It seems guides tend to recomend Winter to socialise more with the townfolks since there is no much to do. So you could use that time to buy gifts and flirt with the bachelorettes.

I hope licensing issues get dealt with so we can get it on Switch Online. Japan already has it.

Hi. Wilk you be reviewing Harvest Moon GBC3?

This year I finally finished More Friends of Mineral Town and Another Wonderful Life after playing it casually since I was a kid when the games were new. I had beaten the original on emulator when I was 10 years old in 2001. Next I'll play 64, and then I'll be done with the series. I'm a bigger fan of the Kawa no Nushi Tsuri series.

New Nintendo Switch Online announcement brought me here.

The link to the ending is somehow missing the the ) at the end, its not being counted as part of the link.

Cool video

My first HM game was Magical Melody. I was about 15, and had just gotten a GameCube. I rented Magical Melody from Blockbuster and fell in love! I had to have it, and I still do! I stupidly sold my GameCube because my Wii can play its games, so I can still play MM now, but there's definitely something to be said for the original experience

This pixel art style really held up.

Playing story of seasons and I would want an ending on that to. There is nothing left to do after like 2 years in it. Harvest moon SNES is stil the best harvest moon in the series

The minimalist gameplay in comparison to the other games is its greates strength besides the atmosphere.

gameboy advance Harvestmoon friends of mineral town was second harvestmoon game. Playstation harvestmoon mineral town was my first harvestmoon where you can play as a girl too and my sister and me both play turn by turn so that we don't tired ourselves . we fight on whom we married was funny i want Ann and my sister was all in with Elli the nurse. Oh the memory just flooding back in. ofcousr Ann won.

makes me sad that you're skipping the handheld games for this series because harvest moon: a new beginning is my favorite game in the series and i never hear anybody talk about the game, despite how good it is. that being said ill still enjoy watching the videos :D

3 months after ur review they added HM SNES to NSO! guess it came tru

Now I want to get it. Still have a Wii u

Josh are you free at the moment? As a fellow Bokujou Monogatari fan I'd love to show you something me and my buddy ErickADub did for the series

what are the things that they had to cancel?

I know you said that you're skipping the handheld versions, but I think it's important that you at least review friends of Mineral town, as it is so important to the series I think being one of the best

Wish they would remake all the first harvest moons games to switch...the real games.

Josh, I think you should start making actual farming videos, with real animals and crops.

Wait it’s not called Harvest Moon anymore in the west but Story of Seasons? Yikes that’s a bad name in comparison, and no wonder I never hear anything about it anymore. Still the first HM game on Snes is the only one I played as a kid and beat because I loved it. It was the art style mostly that hooked me so when they changed it up for the N64 I wasn’t really interested, also Stardew valley just looks goofy to me so I never got really into it like I did the OG HM. It is very hard to go back to now after modern games because of how tedious some tasks are and how much running around there is, and pre planning that can screw you over later if you don’t do well. Oh my god watching this video is reminding me of all that time I spent as a kid running back and forth, it’s just so much time wasted because they didn’t have enough time to program the game better and give you an inventory. If only we had Stardew valley but with harvest moons Snes art style, it would be a perfect game in my eyes.

HM64 and Animal Parade are the BEST!

The problem of playing this game is the English translation, as it is not very good. (For example, there is a "seed of a tree that grows money" which is in reality a bell tree for the cows😅) I spent quite time translating this game into my language and there are a lot of wrong things in English 😖

Hello sir how are you i hope you're good.

Cutest game ever!

Harvest moon snes is as orange as fallout 3 is green

It's funny that SNES is still a good and playable game, while it's 2022... And then we have new "Harvest Moon" like Light of Hope, which is a total crappy and I got bored after 2h of gameplay.

no wonder stardew valley is an improvement!🐄🐷🐑🐇🐣🌻🥞🥖🍕☕🫖🎂🍪

Oooh, this is so great! The first Harvest Moon game I played was Harvest Moon DS and I had no damn clue what was going on...I might've still been a bit too young 😂 The Wii games finally got me into the series though (Animal Parade will forever have a special place in my heart 💜), so I'm very curious and excited to see what Harvest Moon/SoS was like before those games!
