Harvest Moon 64 was Wada’s favorite
Did You Know Gaming’s latest video is all aboutHarvest Moon. One of the biggest things I learned here is that the series started life after series creator Yasuhiro Wada moved to Tokyo from the countryside. He would regularly reminisce about his former life, thinking of what made that life so special.
From there his idea evolved, taking influences from a few games he was playing as he developed his project. How users would use tools was inspired byThe Legend of Zelda, the idea of raising livestock was influenced byDerby Stallion, and the way your farm would expand was taken fromSim City.
And of all theHarvest Moongames over the years,Harvest Moon 64was the closest one in the series to come to Wada’s original vision.
