In a surprisingly lazy move Marvelous Interactive's European wing, Rising Star Games, has posted information on its page detailing their plans to Ctrl-C, then Ctrl-V the GameCube iteration of Harvest Moon: Magical Melody to the technologically similar Wii platform. The Internet's Silconera, who alerted us to this news, also points out the fact that every screenshot, and feature-bullet-point offered by Rising Star just so happens to be smeared with a healthy glaze of last-gen residue in the form of the GameCube control scheme. One would assume they'd want to promote their brand-new motion-based functionality, unless of course it doesn't exist.
Would Rising Star, a company already exhibiting the sort of laziness that would have resulted in losing a foot only 150 years ago, port a title to the Wii without adding any Wii-specific features? It's bad enough that the game is going to look exactly the same, but if I can't pantomime masturbation while milking a cow, chopping down a tree or convincing a local farmer's daughter to pantomime masturbation, what's the point?

They seriously need to stop porting Gamecube games to Wii, except for games where it makes a difference like RE4. It makes as little sense as porting PS1 games to PS2... the second can play the first's games!
That was Innocent Life for the PSP.
Gracias, I'm reading up on it now. It looks like the Cube version got good reviews, I might check this out. I haven't played a Harvest Moon game since the N64 one.
hopefully Rune Factory, HM:DS2, and the real HM Wii game won't be total fuck ups.
Yes, its like extortion, but... legal? I mean, you were missing half of the game unless you had all of those things. I didn't buy into it.
