Harvest Moon DS: Sunshine Islands

The video game known as Harvest Moon DS: Sunshine Islands ( Bokuj Monogatari: Kira Kira Taiyo to Nakama Tachi?, lit. “Farm Story: Shining Sun and Friends”) was made available for purchase in Japan on February 21, 2008, and in North America on November 12, 2009. This is the seventeenth game in the Story of Seasons series and the fourth one accessible for the Nintendo DS. The game is quite similar to Harvest Moon DS: Island of Happiness; in fact, a portion of the island that appears in Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness also appears in this game as one of several islands. The player can play as either a male character named Mark or a female character named Chelsea.
