Now that the Japanese model of the remake of A Wonderful Life is out, we lastly have our reply to the query “what’s up the hill?”
Drum roll…
It’s nothing. Worse than nothing, even: it simply skips 6 hours of time. That’s it.
YouTuber Josh’s Gaming Garden has been enjoying the sport in Japanese and translating it for viewers, and it looks like it is only a technique to skip to the top of a piece day. That doesn’t suggest it’s going to perpetually be a lifeless finish — perhaps there will likely be DLC up there some day — however for now, the reply to a 20-year previous thriller is as a lot of a disappointment because the ending to Lost.

For these of us who did not have a hyperlink cable or a Game Boy Advance, the GameDice period generally felt such as you had been getting locked out of content material that every one the richer youngsters on the playground would boast about. There was the Tingle Tuner in Wind Waker, new content material and secrets and techniques in video games from Harry Potter to Crash Bandicoot, and a complete new city in Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life.
Back on the GameDice, A Wonderful Life had a path close to the farm that went up a hill, but it surely did not go wherever. Trying to go up the trail would result in a cutscene the place the Harvest Sprites would halt you, saying that you may discover out “what’s going on” by linking up with Friends of Mineral Town on the Game Boy Advance, which required the hyperlink cable, a GBA, and a replica of the sport.
Combining a replica of Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town with A Wonderful Life would open up Mineral Town to the folks residing in Forget-Me-Not Valley. Admittedly, the participant nonetheless could not go there themselves — the Harvest Sprites would nonetheless cease you, and apparently all you’d get out of the cut price was some further music and some new recipes introduced again from the NPCs who had been allowed to go away. A bit underwhelming, to make sure… however for individuals who did not have the chance to search out that out for themselves, it felt like being stopped by a bouncer outdoors a membership the place cool stuff may have been taking place.
According to a fan translation of an official Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life stream, which confirmed off an hour of playtime in Japanese, that city may be accessible finally — or, on the very least, that path really has a use. Josh’s Gaming Garden has the news (beginning at 6:46):
In the stream, Daiki Yamashita heads to the trail, solely to get the dialogue that it’s going to take six hours to get there, implying that it takes a lot of the day to journey to this city — however that it’s doable. Unfortunately, Yamashita does not take the choice to go to the city, so we nonetheless haven’t got all of the solutions.
What do you hope is on the finish of that path? Did you handle to hyperlink up Friends of Mineral Town to A Wonderful Life, or had been you unnoticed within the chilly like us? Tell us within the feedback beneath.
