Video game publisher Natsume, has assured us that the wait is finally over and that Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley for the PSP is on sale in retail shops. This title was previously released for the PSP in Japan as Harvest Moon: Sugar Village. The game retails for an MSRP of $29.99 if you can find a copy.

"We are extremely excited about the launch of Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley," said Hiro Maekawa, President and CEO of Natsume. "It's got a great cast of characters, fun new features, and a deep, branching storyline that gives you more ways to play than ever!"

In contrast to Harvest Moon games of old, Leaf Valley actually features a story line. When the player shows up to do some farming, it turns out that the eponymous valley is in big trouble. The heartless Funland Corporation is going to bulldoze the town and replace it with an amusement park unless its citizens can find a way to stop them! Players will need to grow crops, raise animals, and mine ores and gems to help save Leaf Valley and their family farm. Along the way, they'll earn money and develop their skills in interactive part-time jobs, and build their relationships with the villagers in order to gain their trust and help. With a branching story and multiple endings, how players choose to save the town is up to them.
