Natsume's E3 Show Floor Lineup Includes:
Harvest Moon: Light of Hope (Switch, Steam/PC and PlayStation 4)
In Harvest Moon: Light of Hope, players begin the game as they
set out looking for a fresh start and new surroundings. During
their voyage, their ship is hit by a monsoon and goes down. As
they drift into a small harbor town, now in a shambles from the
storm, it will be up to the player to help rebuild the town and
save the lighthouse...but it won't be easy! Nevertheless, with
some hard work growing crops, tending livestock, and gathering
materials for repairs, players will be able to make new friends,
start a family, revive the lighthouse, and save the town!
Wild Guns Reloaded (Steam/PC)
In Wild Guns Reloaded, Annie has tracked down the famed bounty
hunter Clint to get revenge on the Kid Gang. With eight stages,
each with three zones, there's plenty of bad robots to blast
away. With a true arcade game feel, Wild Guns was the first
sci-fi western to arrive on home consoles, and to this day,
there really isn't any other game like Wild Guns!
River City: Knights of Justice (3DS)
River City: Knights of Justice, known in Japan as Nekketsu Mahou
Monogatari, is scheduled to launch as a 3DS eShop exclusive this
summer. Kunio and his friends go medieval in this unique entry
to the River City series, as they are transformed into heroes
and villains that would be home in any RPG! Players will use
swords, staves, and even magic to bring peace back to
Riverandia!
River City: Rival Showdown (3DS)
River City: Rival Showdown, known in Japan as Downtown Nekketsu
Monogatari SP, will launch this fall for the Nintendo 3DS. One
night, Kunio is attacked by two mysterious individuals. On top
of that, Riki's girlfriend has disappeared, and it's up to Kunio
to find out the truth! Kunio has just 3 days to unravel the
mystery, and he'll need your help to take down all who stand in
his way! Take on some familiar faces from the River City games
and meet new ones in this fast-paced beat-'em-up RPG.
