Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland
Hello to all our Natsume fans all around the world!
This week is Thanksgiving in the US, and normally, we would be having our annual Natsume Holiday party soon. However, I think we can all agree this has not been a normal year.
Here at Natsume, we have many traditions among the staff of gathering together which we have had to put aside in 2020. As we are all working from home, the way we work and the way we communicate has changed.
But one thing we have not put aside is our commitment to Make Everyone Happy. We hope you’ve already had a chance to play our two Natsume Indie titles we’ve released this year. Our commitment to the Harvest Moon franchise also remains strong, and we’re working hard to make Harvest Moon: One World an incredible game for its launch in March 2021.
We want to take this time to thank all of our fans for their continued support during this global pandemic, and hope that in our own way, our games have been a source of joy in these uncertain times.
Whether you are new to the Natsume family or have been with us for many years, we are thinking about you! We hope you get the opportunity to spend time with family or friends safely this weekend and in the coming weeks leading up to the end of the year.
Classic collectors rejoice: we’re teaming up with Limited Run Games to reprint some of Natsume’s classic titles on REAL cartridges! Dust off those classic systems – we’ve got some hot games coming your way, and pre-orders are open RIGHT NOW!
First up is the NES classic, SHADOW OF THE NINJA (also known as Blue Shadow in PAL territories). This is a working cartridge, playable on both classic NES systems and compatible clone consoles! Both a standard edition (click me!) and collector’s edition (click me!) are available to pre-order for just one month.
Shadow of the Ninja was one of the first NES games with a female character, including co-op multiplayer games! It’s 2029, and an evil emperor has taken over the USA! Join Lord Hayate and Lady Kaede of the Iga clan as they infiltrate his secret hideout to assassinate Garuda and end his evil reign for good.
If you haven’t experienced this tough-as-nails sidescroller, now you’ll have the opportunity to do so!
Second up is the spiritual successor released on GBC, RETURN OF THE NINJA! This is a working cartridge, playable on both classic GBC systems and compatible clone consoles! Both a standard edition (click me!) and collector’s edition (click me!) are available to pre-order for just one month.
It’s up to Lord Tsukikage and Lady Saiyuri to once again save the world! The once-honorable Iga clan, whom the mighty heroes of Shadow of the Ninja belonged to, has fallen to the side of darkness. Evil clan members have stolen a secret scroll and intend to use it to bring war upon the earth! Use ancient ninja techniques and master the five elements to be sure this plan never comes to fruition.
This challenging sidescroller had a small release back in 2001, but two decaides later you’ll have the opportunity to grab a real physical copy!
Pre-orders for both titles open Friday, November 27th and end on December 27th at 11:59pm Eastern Time. Curious about how Limited Run Games pre-orders work? We have a FAQ right here.
Got questions? We hopefully have the answers you’re looking for!
