In a previous news story, RPGamer reported that Victor Interactive had altered the Japanese release date for its upcoming addition to the Harvest Moon family. Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life was originally scheduled for a vague April 2003 release. This was changed to the broad scope of the year 2003. The company cited quality control issues as the reason.

Those issues have apparently been resolved, since that date was recently changed again. This time, Victor Interactive has nailed down what is hopefully the final specific Japanese release date: August 28, 2003. North American friends of the Harvest Moon series should expect the series to make the global transition a few months afterward.
