Take on uncharted territory in Harvest Moon DS: Island of Happiness for Nintendo DS! After surviving a shipwreck and finding yourself washed up on a desert island, you’ll have to start a new life - and hopefully find someone to share it with . Using the DS stylus exclusively, you can get your finances rolling by planting some seasonal crops to create a fledgling farm and then expand with additional produce, like mushrooms or chocolate. Raising your own herd of cows or flock of sheep will bring in valuable additional funds, but make sure you keep your animals happy by petting, shearing and milking them when needed!
You can choose to play as either a boy or a girl in Harvest Moon DS: Island of Happiness and it’ll be vital to your survival to make friends quickly. Luckily, the island’s inhabitants are usually up for a chat and once you get yourself established you’ll attract all manner of tourists, eager to join in the fun.
A desert island can seem like the ideal romantic getaway and this one is no exception – potential partners could be just around the corner in the village or watching the fireworks at one of the seasonal festivals in the meadow. Before you know it, your new family could grow from two to three with a new arrival of the human variety!
As well as enjoying the company of your new friends and family on the island, you can also connect with your real-world friends thanks to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Simply picking up the phone in your island home will open the door to four-player Voice Chat between you and Island of Happiness’ players around the world. You’ll also be able to exchange special items with other players wirelessly and submit your farm to the global Farm Rankings service to see how it shapes up in the grand scheme of things.
