Description

From the creators of Harvest Moon and Rune Factory for the DS comes the first installment of Rune Factory for a home console. Developed exclusively for Wii, Rune Factory: Frontier features stunning graphics and takes full advantage of the Wii’s unique controls to fully immerse players in the Rune Factory universe. Rune Factory: Frontier incorporates an open-ended structure that allows players to choose the type of game they wish to experience. Whether it’s growing crops, expanding the town, fighting (or befriending) monsters or even falling in love, the experience is unique to each player.

Features

Life-like Interactions – NPCs will come and go based on the player’s actions. Want to get along with your neighbor? Want to give something fellow townsfolk may hate? Go ahead! But they may get upset and leave the town. Be nice to attract more newcomers!
Natural Ecosystem – Breathe life into the barren wilderness by cultivating it and planting crops. Small creatures (spirits) will gather first, triggering a food chain to later attract larger and rarer creatures. You are responsible for bringing more fertility to the land.
Floating Island to Explore – There is an island that floats in the skies. When you see it, you must quickly find a way to get on it as new discoveries await.
Intuitive Wii Controls – Use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to do everything! Plow the land, shake hands with townsfolk to strengthen relationships, or even wave it around when you’re on a date with a girl. (Also compatible with the Classic Controller.)
