Anna M.N: "I don't play my Wii nearly as much as my DS, but Harvest Moon: Animal Parade is definitely a tempting way to sink ridiculous hours into the Nintendo console as opposed to its portable sibling. It's a follow up to the prior Wii title, Tree of Tranquillity. While Tree's story is complete, the cast of the game has been carried forward into the new title, and familiar faces from long-ago games mix with new witches, Goddesses, and other love interests. I wonder what sort of wild animal plushie Natsume will think up for this one."
J Station X: Harvest Moon finally adds same-sex relationships with a mod called 'Pride Parade' that makes the series a bit more inclusive to LGBTQ players.
Hardcore Gamer: Natsume, best known as the developers of the Harvest Moon series, have a special fondness for plush animals. Whenever a new game comes out, they always make sure to pair it with one of their adorable plushes as a pre-order bonus.
There are no actual parades. Sorry to disappoint. Go watch the Putt-Putt video, there’s a parade in that one.
