That's ok with me.
They will probably remake it with amiibo support eventually, I can happily wait for that day.

Yes! Harvest Moon 64 is the best game in the series.
I also played a few of the handheld ones and I spent a lot of time on the gamecube ones (both the boy/girl version of it's a wonderful life).

Something about Kai has made him my all time favorite bachelor to marry. I just love him. And in DS Cute Dr. Alex is definitely a good choice as well.
I have to agree with whoever said the bachelor choices in Another Wonderful Life were terrible. I ended up marrying Gustafa and Rock. But I should have just married Marlin instead of Gustafa. I know Rock is kind of useless but dang, Gustafa just sits around all day playing guitar.

I've only ever played A Wonderful Life and Magical Melody, both for GameCube.
A Wonderful Life I liked, but I could never figure out how to get past the second chapter (where you're married and your kid is one, or under one, I can't remember). It was the first Harvest Moon game I'd ever played, it was on sale at EB Games or something so I picked it up.
Magical Melody was the second game I played, and in my opinion is SO MUCH BETTER than AWL. They're very different games so it's hard to compare, but the amount of freedom you have in MM compared to AWL is insane. You can put anything (house, barn, fields, etc.) pretty much wherever you want, there's a lot more bachelors/bachelorettes to pick from, more activities to do, and I loved the concept of collecting the music notes (is that what they're called? I can't remember).
One summer I was having problems with one of my toes and couldn't really walk, so I basically spent the entire summer playing MM. It was awesome. As a kid I always married Alex, the doctor, but I've since branched out a bit haha. I've never managed to collect all of the notes, though!
This became kind of ramble-y. TL;DR - Liked AWL, loved MM, would play another Harvest Moon game in the future when my New Leaf obsession dies off.

Do not get The Lost Valley! It's hardly a real "Harvest Moon" game. They just made a game to slap the title on it.
I've never played Tale of Two Towns because a lot of people disliked it, but if you think it looks fun, you should try it!
A really good game for beginning Harvest Moon players would be A New Beginning. It's pretty simple and not complicated. I will warn you, there are extremely long tutorials that will bore you in the very beginning, but once those are done, the game really opens up.
Story of Seasons comes out in the next few days but I don't really know too much about it to recommend it as a beginning game for someone. I hope this helps!

*snorts and hides entire collection of every handheld HM ever* it's an ok game
But, yeah, I got HM for gameboy color back in the day, and fell in love c:
I also have Animal Parade for wii, but it's the only console one I have

Thank you so much for your advices! I'll probably get A New Beginning, it looks fun and relaxing, and I remember watching some let's play of it. Story of Seasons look really nice too, so if I do like A New Beginning, I might get that one as well! n_n

I have never played it but it seems pretty popular on this forum?

The only Harvest Moon game I've ever played was Tree of Tranquility on the Wii. I remember not knowing where to buy seeds and playing for a whole in-game season/month without knowing how to do anything and just working part-time every single day. However, I then looked up how to actually play the game and I started over, spending hours and hours tending crops, cooking, raising animals and eventually got married to Jin and had a child. I'd love to play another Harvest Moon game but I'm not sure which one to go for.

It depends on what consoles you have! Animal parade is the sequel to ToT, and it is amazing! It has the same marriage candidates as the prior, but you can have two children. I just like the gameplay overall, and it's features.
For the DS/3DS, I'd definitely suggest Tale of two towns or A new beginning! Both have decent marriage candidates, and lots of cool features!

I was thinking about trying A New Beginning. Mostly it depends on price though, since I'm saving for band merch, haha.
God I loved Harvest Moon for gamecube. A friend got me into it and I was hooked. I remember being too young to figure out how to help my sick cow and it made me so sad 
I also didn't realize you had to use the scythe on the grass to get fodder for cows so they were going hungry until I got my **** together. Married Celia of course. Such a great town/environment created especially with the special little events and cutscenes, especially when you get that blue feather or whatever it was you're supposed to propose with. I got to the point where I had a kid and everyone in the town had advanced in age a bit. That was a great part of the game cause I remember sincerely caring about most of the townspeople and my own living.

OMG I played the priginal one recently and I love it so much! The first one I played was the n64 one which I rented from blockbuster, a long time ago. I liked it a lot but didn't get that much into it, bc it was a rental. I wanna play a new one but the 3ds ones look really, really stupid and ugly (ugh the graphics look so disgusting).

I've played many Harvest Moon games! My first was Harvest Moon 64, and was one of my favorites. Then I played Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life. It wasn't really as fun as the others. After that I held off playing them for a while and then got Animal Parade, which so far is my favorite! I got Harvest Moon DS Cute, which wasn't that fun at all.
I plan on getting Story of Seasons, which is the REAL Harvest Moon continuation in my eyes. However I did get Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley. There's a lot of interesting stuff in that game... but it's a bit of a grind, confusing, and pretty annoying at times. I gave up on it before I even got married because it just was a chore to earn money.

Oh man. Yes.
GameCube - Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life, Harvest Moon: Magical Melody
Wii - Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility, Harvest Moon: Animal Parade
Nintendo DS - Harvest Moon DS, Harvest Moon: Sunshine Islands
Nintendo 2DS - Harvest Moon: A New Beginning
It's my go-to game for when I run out of things to do in NL.

I played my first Harvest Moon game in 2004 and consider it one of my favourite handheld franchises, although I haven't found the newer entries in the series as addicting as the older games.
My first HM game was Friends of Mineral Town, and I remember asking for a GameCube for my 13th birthday (2005) just so that I could play A Wonderful Life! I got my friend Kathryn into the games too and every sleepover we would just stay up all night playing FoMT.
I've also played MFoMT, DS, DS Cute, Grand Bazaar, ToTT, and ANB. I also tried the island games but to be honest I found them really hard to get into. It was too far out from what I expected from a HM game. I'm excited for Story of Seasons too!

In middle and high school I used to play A Wonderful Life, Magical Melody, and Harvest Moon DS. I every so often pick up Harvest Moon DS, but I havent played the other two in a very long time since Im almost always busy.
