European 3DS owners can look forward to playing the latest title in the farming simulation series, Havest Moon: A New Beginning, when it launches in quarter three this year.  

This title is the first one to be designed specifically for the Nintendo 3DS, and is the first title in the franchise, now consisting of 24 games, that will allow you to customise not only your player and farm, but also the town you inhabit.

Harvest Moon has been a staple of every Nintendo console since the SNES, and early feedback for A New Beginning has been positive.

Marvelous AQL will publish the title in Europe alongside publisher Zen United.  No specific release date has been set yet, but it is scheduled to hit in quarter 3 2013.  Once we hear more we shall let you know, but if you're a fan of the series you can join the official Facebook community for news about the game and plenty of pictures of animals!
