this is like harvest moon 64?

[Q]

i played that game ages ago, it was fun, i remember u could upgrade the farm, have cows, chickens, sell eggs and milk, get a horse, build a 2nd floor, a sauna, get a fridge etc

hows the replay value? in the nintendo 64 version after having a son and upgrade all the farm the only thing left to do was... sell more crops, hoard money, that it, that was endgame, play festivals and nothing else, it's the same here?

This isn't really that similar to HM 64. A lot of these newer "Harvest Moon" games are just really badly done chibi art garbage with a loose feeling of the older games.

For what it's worth, if you own a Nintendo Switch and feel like paying for Nintendo Online, they have HM64 on the N64 emulator there.

No , here u can find so many events until years 5. This game actually is remastered from Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town from NDS. And here u can buy a rare item if u have 150 millions gold, build a villa for 10 millions gold. And so many things u can do and u can achieve here

This is BtN remake, I know people are generally confused between the two since they share lots of similarities

Friends of Mineral Town was actually GBA :)
The first NDS game was Harvest Moon DS (and DS Cute followed), which I would looooove a remaster/remake of. The "cute" (girl) version had already fixed some of the oversights/bugs of the boy version and had added a whole new character/story.

Harvest Moon 64 has many of the same characters from Mineral Town, but with totally different families and ties. For instance, Ellie and Jeff were romantically interested in one another and running a bakery (if I recall right). Karen and Kai I think were romantic interests... also the wives would help on the farm. Or... Karen would try, but Ellie would bake cakes for you too (I think they could collect eggs?). The general premise is the same as later games (taking over grandpa's farm generally and MC being a city kid), but the events and backgrounds are different in this game from Friends of Mineral Town (as well as other games in the series).

This game takes both Friends of Mineral, as well as More Friends of Mineral Town (girl version), and also adds some new characters and changes. I personally don't like a lot of the sprite updates, but some of the changes (like having a few fruit trees on the farm) is interesting. I also really like that there's a bell to call animals out for grazing and you don't need to literally push their butts to go in and out.
Still not sure how to feel about no basket and instead having larger bags/items stacking to 9, but overall I do think it's done rather well. Mineral Town was one of my absolute fav's growing up.
