Revisiting Friends of Mineral Town

An improved update on Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town from the Game Boy Advance. I love the chibi art style, and the slight changes from the original make it worth revisiting Mineral Town about 20 years later.

I’ve been a harvest moon person since I had it on the original game cube. This game did not disappoint. Super fun and takes me back to the old Harvest Moon days!!!

It’s a wonderful addition to the series, and if you loved the first friends of mineral town you will enjoy this game. However, I wish there were more additions to the game. I think it’s too similar to the first version. There were also a lot of things that were frustrating in the first game that they could have fixed but didn’t (the super long animations as you run out of stamina, the bugs in the controls of the harvest Sprite mini games) The save slots are also a little bit different so you have to be careful not to save over the wrong file. Honestly if you have the gameboy version, just go play that again instead.

Since it's a remake of a gba game it's a bit easier than some new farming games out there. The charm of the characters and animals make it something that's fun to go back too every now and again.

I am a big fan of the Gameboy Advance game from 2003. Comared to Stardew Valley it might look simplistic, but this is the game that inspired it.
Plus, it came with a pink cow plushie.

I played the original and I loved that one. I do love this one as well, however getting used to the controls took a bit for me to understand but that's probably more on me.

A good solid remake of the GBA game that is a good start for newcomers and a return for old players that haven't played the series for a while.

Nostalgic just like the good old game boy days. If you played it back in the day and are looking to jump back in this is the perfect time. Everything feels nice
