What is the best harvest moon game for ds?

I am planning on buying a new harvest moon game for my ds. The only other harvest moon game i've played is it's a wonderful life for gamecube but i really liked it. I would appreciate if you could tell me the differences between the different ds HM games and which one you like the best. thanks.|||well the hm ds games the graphics are a bit different, and you can't visit mineral town, but if you have the game boy Harvest moon friends of mineral town or HM more friends of mineral town, you can put it in the ds and the characters from mineral town will visit forget-me-not-valley on different days.





The way to buy things for the farm is over the phone now, in ds cute you can by the decor for your house, like the paint and rug. unlike in wonderful life where you start out with a horse you only start out with a cat and dog.





other things on the game are the same but in this you can hire harvest sprites to help you work the farm. they can fish, feed the animals you buy later, water your plants, pet the animals and milk the cows and gather eggs and even chop wood and gather stone.





your mission in Harvest Moon Ds and Ds cute, is to save the harvest sprites to rescue the harvest goddess who was turned to stone and the sprites sent into another world. by working every day and meeting certain requirements you save harvest sprites who then help you out. You also have a level on your farm degree.





of course as in each harvest moon game you can court and get married and have a family, this is basically the same but with new characters since you are in a new place. they have likes and dislikes and the ultimate favorite and the most hated. You trigger different heart events at different levels which is indicated by the heart Gage on the side of the bachelor/鈥achelorettes picture.





In Harvest Moon IoH you have to make the island prosperous, you can upgrade the roads, your farm and buildings just like in other hm games. build bridges to other parts of the island but the more prosperous the island is the more people who come to live on the island. the harvest sprites don't help you with the farm in this one, the just give you hints here and there. this is also a choice of boy/girl game.








in the newest hm that is coming out in november its the sequel to HM IoH, it has two new characters and more islands to visit. you can also find more pets to keep on your farm, exotic and domestic alike. some will even help you on the farm. you have to find stones to help save islands. That's as much as I know about this game though I plan on buying it.

I hope this helps.|||Harvest Moon DS Cute is the best for playing a reeeaaally long time, since there's so much to do. However, the most up-to-date game is going to be released on November 10th, and it's called Shining Sun and Friends. (Updated version of Island of Happiness) I didn't really like IoH, so I'd say Cute, but it's all up to preference... SSaF has more storyline behind it.|||Your best bet would be the cute version because u can be either the original cute character with blonde hair OR choose the another wonderful life character with pig tails and burnette hair, and touchscreen where u cn sheer sheep pet and milk cows! The difference to the island of happiness is that like u said u have played AWL, there are different characters in island of happiness and doesnt have the same people. Personally i love Cute.


By the way, my email is Jasmineprodigy@yahoo.com! Bye!|||I would say the est would be HMDS Cute or HMDS. HMDS Cute offers more, though. In Harvest Moon Cute you can change outfits and gambling is easier. Though, the marriageable characters aren't as.....appealing :) unless you count the new boy or Game Boy Advance characters.
