Nintendo Wii U · 1996
About this game
Harvest Moon is a single-player life-simulation farming game.
The player inherits a neglected countryside ranch and is tasked with restoring it by tending fields, raising animals, and integrating with a nearby town over a fixed multi-year span that ends with a formal evaluation of the farm and the farmer’s life.

Play unfolds across four 30-day seasons that influence what can be planted, harvested, or foraged.
Each in-game day offers limited time to clear land, water crops, feed livestock, and ship produce for income.
Animals must be cared for daily, with chickens needing feed and cows requiring attention to remain healthy and productive.
Managing the routine within the clock, the weather, and seasonal schedules is the core challenge.
Progression is measured in money earned, land improved, and relationships built.
Crops are grown in tilled plots that must be watered regularly to advance growth stages, then shipped for profit.
Livestock expands the farm’s output with eggs and milk.
Tool use and planning are constrained by the farmer’s stamina, which can be increased by finding rare Power Berries hidden through exploration and special events.
Town life provides structure and optional goals.
The player can befriend villagers through conversation and gifts, then pursue courtship and marriage with eligible partners.
Household upgrades expand living space and enable family life.
Festivals on specific calendar days offer social scenes and small mechanics twists, and some events can raise affection with townspeople.
Exploration beyond the farm yields resources, secrets, and stamina restoratives.
The mountain area and other outskirts offer forage items and event triggers, while careful time management is required to deliver goods to the shipping bin before collection each evening.
Efficient routing, weather awareness, and choosing between fieldwork and town visits determine the farm’s steady growth.
Long-term goals culminate in an evaluation after a set period near the summer
About Nintendo Wii U
The Wii U (2012) was commercially Nintendo's least successful home console, hampered by market confusion over whether the GamePad tablet controller was a new device or a Wii accessory. Its low sales mean smaller overall print runs across the board, and several first-party and indie darlings have already become noticeably pricier than their commercial performance would suggest, since there are simply fewer copies in circulation.
Gamevaro tracks Harvest Moon for Nintendo Wii U with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Harvest Moon to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This WIU release dates back to 1996.

Rarity & condition
No market sales have been tracked yet for Harvest Moon — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.
Condition matters a lot for collector value: loose (cartridge/disc only), complete-in-box (CIB, with original packaging and manual) and factory-sealed copies are tracked separately because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.
