Harvest Moon: Magical Melody looks to be a pretty neat game! So heres the deal, you work on a Farm harvesting crops and in the end you eventually marry someone but whom will it be?
Harvest Moon: Magical Melody is a Wii ported game from the Gamecube and will have some good side quests in it including freeing the Harvest Goddess by collecting some Magical Notes! =D
European gamers, break out your straw hat and overalls because Harvest Moon: Magical Melody is making it’s way to the Nintendo Wii. HM:MM will be a direct port of the last year’s GameCube version, as brought to gamers by Marvelous Interactive’s European wing, Rising Star Games.
Harvest Moon: Magical Melody brought the Harvest Moon series back on track from its misguided veer off-course into Animal Crossing territory (the comparatively execrable It’s a Wonderful Life) to its farming-RPG roots. For those unfamiliar with the basic plot, in this entry you compete against a strange looking rival named Jamie to see who can run the better farm. A little side quest comes from on high, as well, as you are asked to help free the harvest goddess by finding and returning some missing magical notes.
Since the current release of Harvest Moon: Magical Melody is just a port of the GameCube version, a few extras might be expected to draw in the newbies. The most important of these would be making good use of the Wii Remote, to hopefully enable gamers to perform their farming chores Wii-style. While we know that the company plans on some Wii Remote functionality, exactly how it will be used is still unknown. Hopefully, despite being a cross-console port, there will also be something of an upgrade in graphics, or at least the option to use your Mii of choice in place of the usual, more or less generic farmer design as used in most every Harvest Moon game released to date. Given the fact that Rising Star is using GameCube screenshots to promote the game however, we aren’t very optimistic on that.
Right now the game’s re-release seems to be a crop only Europe will harvest, but if it’s confirmed for release in North America we’ll be sure to let you know.

Honestly this game has had the exact same formula for years. Still fun though.
Then again, they did remake RE4....
Then again, it would be pretty worthless to remake this and release it worldwide, RE4 got away with it because it's an amazing game and it had a number of extra features over the GC version, as well as better graphics than the PS2 version. Also, it benefits much more from the controls. I can't say the same about Magical Melody.
