Farming Simulator 2013 is coming to Wii U

69 Comments

This will hold no interest for you, but Farming Simulator 2013 has been announced for the Wii U. The game will be arriving on all other major platforms – iPhone, 3DS, PS Vita, etc – and although there’s no details as of yet, it’s not the sort of game that will hold too many surprises. The name sort of gives it away.

    Wasn’t there suppose to be some gardening sims game that got cancel after not to long? 

    • Holonboy

      I thought that was for the 3DS, way early in the system’s lifespan.

      It was for the 3DS, called “My garden” and got canned by EA. I was hoping for a gardening sim for the 3DS, but if this farming game comes to the 3DS I hope its good.

  • BlueHawk007

    I didn’t even know farming simulators existed O_O

    Er…

  • Dark Pit

    This is irrelevant but, ” A new challenger has appeared… again” It looks just like the Wii U game pad/ 3DS combined!

    Is this like Farmville for the “Hardcore Audience” lol.

    • http://www.facebook.com/nkunesh Nicky Kunesh

      no this is the “HQ version with no RWT but some extra add on content available at a scam price” Prices for the 2011 DLC were $9.99 or $19.99, way to much for DLC in my book, plus the DLC is PC users only so #GFMACS

    • MadCrain

      ;(

  • shmuga9

    So… technically isn’t it just a realistic-looking version of Harvest Moon?

    • Holonboy

      I guess you can say that, but Harvest Moon and Rune Factory also has RPG elements and a plot. I don’t see how a farming simulator can squeeze in a well-made plot.

    • shmuga9

      Ya to be honest I don’t know anything about the games other than the farming aspect. I just thought it was an interesting observation.

  • shmuga9

    Sweet, Disqus support, now I can actually see notifications

  • JoeHabana

    thanks, but i will wait for Harvest Moon and/or Rune Factory

  • TysonQ7

    OH BOY! I’M SO EXCITED! CAPS LOCK!
    …
    oh wait. i’m not excited at all. no capital letters.

  • jdub

    Yay?

  • Luciano Fran

    Game of the Year 2013?

  • Trapez77

    Im hoping for a flight simulater, that would be perfect for the wiiu because of the touchscreen accellerometer gyroscope

    • ePik Min

      I’ve been hoping for this for over a year now. This would be cool =)

    • BR!4N

      ACE COMBAT!!!

  • http://profiles.google.com/xdavidxhoylexx David Hoyle

    if i can have metroids in the farm, i would get it.

  • Trapez77

    Why are people making fun of this? I am intrested in this game, i would much rather play this than sit in ag science another semester

  • Wolf

    They add “Train Simulator” and they’ve got a sale.

  • Zack

    Oh my God, now I can.. stare at cows…

  • Guhtere

    A farm game. SEEMS LIKE A WHOLE LOT OF FUN!
    YOU GET TO MILK COWS!
    YOU GET TO COLLECT EGGS FROM THE FLOOR!
    I BET THIS GAME WILL GET A PERFECT 10 FROM IGN!
    And the reason this is in caps is because it’s sarcasm

    • TheFarmboy

      You ever played Harvest Moon before? Just curious.

    • Big E

      You get married. Have kids. Milk cows. Breed cows…and other animals. Make the town a better place to live. Mine. Ride horses. Have pets. Grow many kinds of crops. Oh, there’s also a story to most of the Harvest Moon games. Rune Factory is mostly the same, ‘cept with monsters you can both fight and raise. They also tend to have a deeper story plot. Harvest Moon has RPG elements while Rune Factory is a farming RPG.

  • Tails the Foxhound

    It’s like a less charming Harvest Moon. I wonder if it plays better though?

  • ePik Min

    Err… this game is far too violent for me, sorry.

  • BasementofNerds

    Meh, hope some people will get some enjoyment out of it. Not my cup of tea, to me it looks about as amazing as Playstation Home with less ads.

  • TheFarmboy

    Realistic Harvest Moon for ya right there.

  • the vita is dead

    This is what happens when you ask for something “hardcore” looking. Makes me wonder how Harvest moon would feel like with this sort of visuals. †

  • J. Severe

    The game actually looks pretty good to me. I mean, just look at dat grass…

    • http://www.facebook.com/nkunesh Nicky Kunesh

      Quickly some one make this guy higher this guy to Sony! Everybody knows they want some of dat grass…!

  • tbpb2010

    I wanna explore the hills in the background

  • trainerblk

    ive been waiting for this game for years

  • Lockjaw

    I’m sure there’s someone out there who’d want this, but realism can only so far in video games. I want Harvest Moon.

  • Michael M

    If it was Harvest Moon I would be happy.

    • TheFarmboy

      Ditto, it has alot of potential for WiiU, hopefully something original, or a remake of HM64 or A Wonderful Life.

    • Michael M

      I would love either of the two. Or even BTN which is my favorite.

    • Atomsk

      Yeah BTN is one of the best, though was already remade (kinda) with Friends of Mineral town…. but it would be nice to see it remade with a less topdown look possibly… I don’t think we’ve gotten a good non-topdown harvest moon where you have a very large farm like in some of the other games (BTN, 64, the DS games)

    • Michael M

      I’m going to get flamed for this but I could never get into friends of Mineral Town. After playing back to nature it just seemed like a downgrade to me. I’ve heard it’s better. But I personally just can’t stand it. hearing the pixelated version of some of the best soundtracks I had ever heard just annoyed me. I know it’s some people’s favorite. But it’s my least favorite.

    • Atomsk

      Honestly I gotta agree with you FoMT was not as good as BTN was for me, I am not sure exactly what it was about it though…. but yes I was thinking, if they ever did remake BTN they should do it in a not so top down style… like AWL, or something similar (but possibly going top down for the farming so it is easier to make plots)

  • Kehool

    new feature: use the wii pad as a shovel to move manure around the stables

    but yeah i’d love to see another harvest moon in the style of the first one on SNES

    the one on the wii was a little disappointing and had wayyyy too much micro management

  • CK

    Yayyy!

  • TheBest

    What’s wrong with people liking farming?

    • TysonQ7

      You’re only allowed to like 1 farming simulator game, and anyone who doesn’t choose Harvest Moon is terminated.

    • firearrow505

      You can like farming, if you’re a girl. :P

  • RockieOllie

    Slow day huh?

  • Mickey

    Id rather have my animal crossing jump out

  • Zack

    Fuckin hell yes

  • MrIceCreamCow

    Grown up Harvest Moon?

  • Guy A. Person

    The title pretty much speaks for itself. It’s like an April Fools joke, except real and posted on July 11th. (Or July 10th for us Americans)

  • SleepyGuyy

    While most games use such words for the game-over screen, Retire is the end goal in this game.

  • Darkrosekid

    AWW… YEAH best game ever first day buy…………………………………. not >.>

  • Thefunyarinpa(Hikari)
  • yay

    And the shovelware begins…….

  • Speed

    It looks……uh…..

  • No-Name

    Whatever David you know there’s at least 1 person who may buy this game. Anyways the last simulator game was about the most boring job of all time. So its great to see the series going back to its roots

  • LuisKcBoss

    WHOOO! More Shovelware!

  • BR!4N

    HD FarmVille. Here come the endless requests.

  • Tecpeds94

  • mkdhdh

    my brother is gonna love this… i had to buy this game on steam for him and he plays it quite a lot… + even though the fysics and dlc are horrible in this game it has multiplayer wich works fairly well

  • BellaKazza

    This is like a cow’s opinion, nobody wants it and nobody asked for it.
    …………..MOOOOOOOOOO…………….

  • http://www.facebook.com/chris.marsh.7370 Chris Marsh

  • http://twitter.com/Revolution5268 Revolution

  • http://PolyKhromeGames.blogspot.com/ Brian Lockett

  • SONIC2011

  • haveaniceday
