Natsum has announced that Harvest Moon: Grand Bazaar has launched for the Nintendo DS. The game is now available at retail for an MSRP of $29.99 and is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB.

“We are so excited that Harvest Moon: Grand Bazaar is now available in stores,” said Hiro Maekawa, President and CEO of Natsume. “The game features a great story, a fun cast of colorful characters, and a multiplayer mode that lets players invite their friends to their farm. With all this and more, we think players will find it to be one of the best handheld games in the series yet.”

Zephyr Town’s bazaar was once the grandest in the world, drawing customers and peddlers from all four corners of the Earth. These days, though, the bazaar has more tumbleweeds than customers. It’s up to the player to turn its fortunes around! They’ll raise animals, harvest crops, craft rare delicacies, and then sell their wares at their very own shop. If players can bring prosperity back to Zephyr town, its bazaar will thrive once again, packed with exotic wares that they can purchase to expand their farm.
