== Introduction ==
== Introduction ==
Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness is, for many, the perfect mix of Magical Melody graphics, with DS gameplay and characters. Taking advantage of the DS's power, Marvelous takes Harvest Moon into the 3D world for the first time ever on a handheld system. Much like the GBC3 Version, you find yourself with the choice of being a boy or a girl, including a wide range of bachelors and bachelorettes to suit your tastes.
Farming fun returns to the Nintendo DS system! ''Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness'' takes you aboard a ship, sailing to some islands and leaving city life behind to start your life over. On your way there, a storm overwhelms the vessel, capsizing it and shipwrecking everyone on board! You awaken on an unknown, abandoned island at the sound of an old man's voice. You're among a few survivors of the wreckage that made their way to this island. Making lemonade out of lemons, the task of becoming the island's rancher falls on your hands; after all, that was what you had set out to become in the first place!
 
== Features ==
*''Island of Happiness'' utilizes the DS system's stylus and touch screen for most of the game. Few buttons manage different controls (such as the d-pad and circular letter buttons).
*No inheritance or already existing, free farms this time. Build your own farm from the ground up with the help of Carpenter Gannon!
*An evolving island that grows in population as you develop it; rebuilding bridges, expanding areas, and unlocking home expansions will attract new visitors to the island!
*A new cast of 6 bachelors and 6 bachelorettes, and 98 characters in total! (Not counting the boy or girl possible child.)
*The ability to marry your rival farmer (Mark as Chelsea/Chelsea as Mark) returns in this title, for the first time since HMGB3.
*Branching events based on chosen options returns to this game, a feature last seen in ''Save the Homeland''. This only occurs during Heart Events, but allows you to see more personality of each individual marriage candidate!


Upon crashing on an island with only a few other survivors, you must restore not only your farm, but the entire island back to its proper glory.  
== Innovations to the series ==
*''Island of Happiness'' was the first game in the series to feature online network options. Using the telephone in your house, you could use the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to show off your farm stats on a global ranking scoreboard. Weekly rankings earned hard-working farmers plenty of valuable rewards!
*Voice chat via the Telephone (Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection) with up to three other farmers!
*This was the first game to implement the Customization system for tools. (A similar system was reintroduced in the ''Story of Seasons'' titles, using gems and ore instead of Wonderfuls.)
*''Island of Happiness'' introduces the Weather System, in which crops are bound to different weather cycles for optimal growth. Too much water or too much sunlight can be detrimental to your crops, so take care!


== Features ==
==Characters introduced in this game==
Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness marks the first time that the main Harvest Moon series has gone online. The Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection features include the ability to rank your farm against other players from around the world in weekly themed or all-time ratings. You can also conduct a voice chat session with up to three other players by using the telephone in your Harvest Moon house.  
The only characters that are from previous games are Cliff, Harvest Goddess, Karen, Popuri, (Doctor)Trent, and Witch Princess.

Introduction

Farming fun returns to the Nintendo DS system! Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness takes you aboard a ship, sailing to some islands and leaving city life behind to start your life over. On your way there, a storm overwhelms the vessel, capsizing it and shipwrecking everyone on board! You awaken on an unknown, abandoned island at the sound of an old man's voice. You're among a few survivors of the wreckage that made their way to this island. Making lemonade out of lemons, the task of becoming the island's rancher falls on your hands; after all, that was what you had set out to become in the first place!

Features

  • Island of Happiness utilizes the DS system's stylus and touch screen for most of the game. Few buttons manage different controls (such as the d-pad and circular letter buttons).
  • No inheritance or already existing, free farms this time. Build your own farm from the ground up with the help of Carpenter Gannon!
  • An evolving island that grows in population as you develop it; rebuilding bridges, expanding areas, and unlocking home expansions will attract new visitors to the island!
  • A new cast of 6 bachelors and 6 bachelorettes, and 98 characters in total! (Not counting the boy or girl possible child.)
  • The ability to marry your rival farmer (Mark as Chelsea/Chelsea as Mark) returns in this title, for the first time since HMGB3.
  • Branching events based on chosen options returns to this game, a feature last seen in Save the Homeland. This only occurs during Heart Events, but allows you to see more personality of each individual marriage candidate!
