Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life is now back on track for a summer release in Japan. Victor Interactive had removed A Wonderful Life from its release calendar earlier this year. The game's release will be preceded by its Game Boy Advance counterpart, Harvest Moon: Mineral Town, by a few months. A Wonderful Life and Mineral Town will be able to interact via link cable. This will trigger special events within the games and open up a sound test mode.

Along with this comes news that Victor has altered certain series features. One change will allow characters to grow from child to adult during the course of the game. This will allow for greater detail in character interaction.
