  Looks like a shop thing like Recettear, except more indepth, but I don't know if you kill things for stuff.

  Seems like it'll get boring eventually if literally all you do is try to run your shop.

  Seems like Pokemon is boring because literally all you do is battle other Pokemon, amirite?
  
  Anywho saw this earlier.
  Thinking of getting it just for the plushie. Might pre-order at GameStop since the best plushie was a E3 promo :V
  The artwork looks fucking terrible though.

  Yeah, it's probably not for everyone. But in Harvest Moon literally all you do is run a farm and people love that. I love that too. And I loved Recettear.
  
  If you like the idea of this then it would be hard for it to go wrong. Just a shame it's for a mobile console though, as I don't really like those so much due to the smaller screen. I'm too used to monitors at this point to focus on such a tiny screen for any reasonable period of time, even with the bigger versions of the console.
  
  I do have a 3DS though so who knows.

  NO! In Harvest Moon you also date.

  And you can fish, mine, cook, etc.
  
  Nothin' against the game, it's just.. even Pokemon has more features than that. It would be nice if the game turned out to be super fun, but it just seems like it'll really end up being an acquired taste.

  Hahaha, I completely forgot about that.
  
  But it's such a side mission. Then you get a wife and she just sits around at home all day. MEH.

  There'll likely be a little more to it than what's shown. Or maybe it'll just be a little game in general. Who knows. I don't think they would make something too basic. They never really have (from what I can remember anyway). If they don't have things to do on the side, the store management itself will likely be very detailed and interesting.
  
  But still, I don't think it'll ever be for everyone in the way Harvest Moon kinda is.

  Well it probably won't be less complex than Patrician games or random X Manager simulators and those do have their fans.
