Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life - Nintendo Switch

So far I absolutely love it. Only been playing for and hour but I think it’s amazing. Huge nostalgia from the original game with only a few different things and ungraded textures applied. Not sure why some of the characters names were changed while others weren’t but either way so far so good and everything I hopped for from the revamped of the game I loved as a kid. Will update after playing further. !!!UPDATE!!! So I’ll start with a few pros 1. I love that you can be a girl and customize your character a little and even change your hair later on if you want in the mirror 2. Love that they didn’t change the storyline. Same things happen that happen in the og (rip Nina) 3. More people to choose to marry 4. You can actually see when you need to eat and sleep instead of randomly falling over 5. There’s a path now between the dig site and the sprites forest area and I love it 6. Molly (aka Muffy) and Celia are both the same bright people in the game 7. Events like in the other games Now to the cons 1. The animals. The cows are the same cute definitely and I love them but the horse, sheep, and chickens are their new style and are just plain ugly. The horse especially. I hate riding the horse now cause it just looks janky and has this weird glitch where it slowly walks first them runs. OG horse I way better. Sheep is pink for some god forsaken reason and I hate it a lot, this is coming from a girl who’s character has pink hair. The sheep just doesn’t match the game. The chickens while aren’t terrible just like the horse and sheep don’t match the rest of the game. 2. There are too many unneeded and unnecessary cut scenes with the sprits. They get annoying. And some unneeded scenes in general but the others I don’t mind. 3. I’m only on year 2 but there isn’t the 2 extra fields with better soil in the back. Hope that comes later on but it if it doesn’t it’s kinda a bummer 5. Dig site is a little hard to dig because the dig site people get in the way ALL THE TIME! 4. (More personal preference then anything) I honestly hate that you can date Lumina but not Flora. Lumina I never liked even in the og game and honestly having Flora as a bachelorette would have been amazing. Over all I still love the game. There’s some improvements that can be made but that’s any game you play. It’s still a good game and gives huge nostalgia for an OG player.

if you played harvest moon on the game cube back in the day then this is for you! so fun and so nostalgic!!

Fun story mode, interactive play that does not get boring. I appreciated the value for the many hours of play this afforded me. Worth it to pick this one up on sale as its an easy going story with no fighting.

Its what it says on the tin, a remake of harvest moon a wonderful life. Theres some qol changes but tbh they could of done more

It’s exactly as I remember from when i was kid. So nostalgic. It runs smoothly and looks great on a bigger tv.

Possible game spoilers for the game ahead. As someone who played the original, I was dying excited for this game because Harvest Moon AWL is my all time favorite game. I did meter my expectations, with the understanding that it would be different. Pros: You can pick your gender (including nonbinary!! Woohoo!) Character customization. Same music! You can marry anyone! (Of the original bachelors/bachelorettes from A/nother Wonderful Life) It looks better in a lot of ways Cons: Somehow the controls are even worse than the original, navigating the game is just painful Glitchy. There were things from the original game that I thought were glitches-- like when you talk to your cow and immediately they fall asleep after just when you're about to milk them, it's so sudden and then they get mad. You'd think they'd improve that in the new game, right? Right? No. Or how you can't give gifts to some people if they're looking off into the distance a certain way, or sitting down. Ridiculous, right? Should've been changed, right? Nope. Or when digging at the digsite, if either of the two archeologists are standing a little too close to a certain plot, it's almost impossible to dig there. Actually I remember it being much easier in the original game, they almost made it worse in this one. And how when people walk they look like they are sliding on the ground, we've made leaps and bounds of progress with video game animation, should be a cinch to improve that, right? Negative. It looks worse in a lot of ways. The OG chickens were much cuter, the OG horse was much much much much much cuter. The sheep--- no one asked for it to be pink, right??? And overall the colors are much harsher and oversaturated and over-contrasted--it looses that lifelike nature feel and makes it more gimmick-y. Because there's now double the bachelor/ettes, the cut scenes happen constantly. There's also added cut scenes of the harvest sprites telling you to check your notes, and then forcing you into the notes screen. Like that should absolutely be optional- I played the original game, I know what I'm doing. The worst con of all is the calendar. We only have ten days in a season now. Yes, the old games were a bit long winded, but even after playing it dozens of times I always felt there wasn't enough time to befriend everyone and get all the items. Now I feel like I'm speed-running it and I just wish there was an option for the seasons to be longer. Despite all the cons, I'm still looking forward to continuing the game, it does still breathe fresh life into it. There's a few new things that happen here and there that are interesting. I like the new designs of some characters, it's still fun. And it's just easier to play it on a switch than on an old gamecube console/wii console, I can take it anywhere now.

I love this game series and this one did not disappoint.

A classic game revisited!! I absolutely love this game. I still have my old Gamecube copies of both games that are merged with this one. This is a fantastic remaster with a few very good quality of life improvements. I bought this game for under $25 USD, but it's honestly worth double that. I've had the game for just over 2 weeks and already dumped 50 hours into it. It's good to relive this game!

Es dinámico el videojuego, es para una persona. Si te entretienes algunas horas jugandolo.

It's works! Also english language!

This is my first experience playing this title. I somehow missed it when it came out on Gamecube etc. Am a fan of both Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons. I'm enjoying it so far. From what I see, the art is updated. Nice!

A wonderful remaster with very few changes. Mostly quality of life improvements and a much brighter color palette. If you remember booting the original up on gamecube, you will be happy with how they handled the remaster. A heart touching story with a lovely town that ages with you as you journey through your life in Forgotten Valley.
