Harvest Moon: A New Beginning for the Nintendo 3DS is finally making its way to Europe sometime in Q3 2013. You can thank a partnership between Marvelous AQL Europe and Zen United for making your Harvest dreams comes true. While out in Japan since February 23rd 2012 and in North America since October 19th 2012 it sure has taken its sweet time to make its away back across the Atlantic. This new game brings much more customization to the franchise from your player to your farm and even the whole town. No word on if they’ll include the Yak and Cow plushies the previous regions pre-orders had.
