Natsume has announced the release Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley, now officially available for the Nintendo 3DS. The latest handheld edition is and exclusive installment that combines all the traditional elements from the Harvest Moon series with some welcome new additions.

In Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley, players will have to discover why the Lost Valley is cursed in a perpetual winter. With the Harvest Goddess nowhere to be found, and the Harvest Sprites locked away, it’s up to the player – an unlikely farmer who was caught unexpectedly in one of the Lost Valley’s fierce snowstorms – to discover the source of this curse, and bring the seasons back to the Lost Valley!

In a similar fashion to the mobile hit Hay Day, players can plant crops, raise cows, chickens, develop relationships with the locals. . .get married, leading to having a child of your own. Man, all of this just to unlock the full potential of the seven Harvest Sprites? This makes Old MacDonald’s livelihood so tame by comparison.
