Rune Factory Announced for Wii
Marvelous brings the portable sim series to the big screen.
by John Tanaka

June 4, 2008 - The Rune Factory series is coming back for a third round, only this time it's on a different platform. The latest issue of Famitsu has first details on Rune Factory Frontier, the first Wii entry in a series that has seen two DS titles so far.

In Rune Factory Frontier, you play as Laguna, who's starting life in a completely new land. Your goal is to build up your village in classic Harvest Moon style (Rune Factory is an offshoot of that series), attracting new residents, and eventually earning the affections of some possible marriage targets.

With the move to Wii, Marvelous appears to be embracing the vastly improved technology at their disposal. Frontier will feature a choice of either 16x9 or 4x3 output modes.

Rune Factory Frontier is set for Japanese release some time this year.

Some new scans and screenshots.






I haven't played the DS version, but if it has Harvest Moon elements I might give it a try.

I've been very addicted to the DS version of Rune Factory. Never played Harvest Moon, so I can't really give a comparison, but I'd definitely recommend giving it a go. It's pretty entertaining.

Those new screens look good, by the way. Looks like some of the characters from the DS Rune Factory are still in it (aside from Raguna that is -main character).

I like this character. Is she in the DS version? And I think I will try the game. Seems like it might be fun.

She's not in the DS version, I don't think.

Ones that I recognize for sure are:

Tabatha:

Bianca:

Mist:

And I *think* either Rosetta or Melody might be in it too, but I can't really tell from the pics.
