DS vs. 3DSEdit
Added by Ms16bitThere are only a few differences between the Nintendo DS version and the 3DS version. Obviously the 3DS version has 3D capability while the DS version does not, and the graphic quality is a little bit better because of the 3DS' enhanced screen. The 3DS' screen is also wider so you get to get a bit of a wider view of the area. Another difference is that the DS version is not region locked while the 3DS version is. The 3DS version also has street pass. With this game's street pass, you can put items in your 'Street Pass Box' and trade items with people you pass by. The last difference is that the 3DS version has an extra petting minigame, kind of like the ones Island of Happiness or Sunshine Islands that make it easier to max out your animals' hearts, but the DS version doesn't. Otherwise, the two games are completely identical.
StoryEdit
Long ago the towns of Bluebell and Konohana were friendly neighbors, joined together by a tunnel underneath the mountain that separates the towns. Eventually the towns started to disagree with each other on whose town had the best cooking cuisine. As the villagers became more obnoxious with each other, the Harvest Goddess became more annoyed with them. One day she finally put her foot down and collapsed the tunnel between the towns, cutting them off from each other. Now the only interaction the towns have with each other is at their cooking festival, where their cooking conflict continues four times per season.
As a new farmer, you are eager to start your new life at one of the towns but a freak travel accident makes you to forget what town you originally were going to live in! Listen to each mayor's story, hear about each town, and then decide where you want to start your new farm life. In this game, your goal is to win your town as many of the cooking competitions as possible. Do this by cooking the best dishes you can from your animal and crops' produce.
Protagonist & Other CharactersEdit
You can choose to play as either a boy or girl, and you can name the one you choose. The protagonist finds themself at the top of the mountain seperating Bluebell and Konohana after their horse falls off the mountain path to avoid hitting a pair of foxes. Rutger and Ina, the mayors of the two warring towns, find the unconscious protagonist and asks him/her if they want to move into their town.
Bachelors/BachelorettesEdit

Cam: He's a quiet person but talks a lot about flowers... He has a good sense for arranging flowers and has a side that likes cats. He dreams of winning the Grand Flower Arrangement Exhibition on the mainland. So, obviously, giving him natural flowers you find from foraging is a very good easy gift. He is arguably the easiest bachelor to win over. He lives in Bluebell.
