Although it should hardly come as a surprise, Natsume has officially confirmed plans to release Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town on the Wii U Virtual Console. The original Friends of Mineral Town hit the North American eShop last June.

Natsume previously said in April that it had eight GBA games planned for the Wii U Virtual Console. Friends of Mineral Town and its sequel were practically shoo-ins once that statement was made.

Great news! Not as great as if it were coming to 3DS, but still great!

In case people are unaware, More Friends of Mineral Town is a slightly improved version of the original Friends of Mineral Town, with the big difference being that you can play as a female character and romance males.

Do gba games on the system have the same problems console oriented releases tend to have on the wii u vc? Such as the totally borked color palette thing?

If so then I'll be taking a pass on this.

As far as I can tell, the GBA is actually the best emulation on the system. It was programed by M2, and once you turn off the smoother option, it is pretty much pixel perfect.

yep. Pretty much this. The Gameboy advanced emulator is pretty darn good. A few games are a little dark but that was mainly due to the ridiculously powerful background light of the SP. Nothing that you can't compensate for by taking two seconds to adjust the brightness on your screen.

Correction: MFoMT is the first Girl's version of HM localized and has only one playable character, so it's not like the later games where you have a choice. I believe the first non GB game where you could choose your gender and get married was...Magical Melody. Definitely the first one in the US.

For anyone interested, there's a romhack of this one called True Love Edition that allows for same sex marriage. Of course, you won't be finding it on the eShop.

[Nudull]

Right on. ^_^

If only there was a way to get the True Love Editions for both games.

I assume the patch mainly makes the love options of the other game available in the first (IE More Friends Love options are available in Friends, and vice versa). So since Zack and Carter were never love options to begin with, you can't marry them. It's a shame though.
