Woot, I've been a HUGE fan of the series since it first popped into existance. first time I played Harvest Moon(SNES) I stayed up for over 24 hours after putting the game in, and stopped for nothing(No bathroom, food, or drink) I was HOOKED.
I almost bought a DS Harvest Moon the other day, but it was the 'cutie' version, and while it would match my pink DS, it just doesn't sit right with me, lol
