Expected to dock in the land of the rising sun by December, Harvest Moon Kimi to Sodatsu Shima DS continues to churn out screenshots for folks who just can't get enough of the animated farm life.

It would appear that the developers really did good on their word that the graphics would definitely be much more pleasing to the eye. They generously made use of earthy tones to depict the farm setting. Planting seeds, growing crops, and raising poultry just got the hi-tech treatment with the stylus used for directing the characters, and the D-pads for tool choosing functions.

So, if you're interested in the rural way of life or if you just plain like playing Old MacDonald in the farm every once in a while (without having to go under the sun), this game is for you. Either way, Harvest Moon Kimi to Sodatsu Shima DS will definitely get you working with your green thumbs, and with a stylus at that!
