Marvelous Interactive is going to release a "female" version of its GBA game Bokujou Monogatari: Mineral Town no nakamatachi, better known as Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town. The new version, to be titled Bokujou Monogatari: Mineral Town no nakamatachi for Girl will be shown at Nintendo's upcoming new product conference, to be held on October 15th-17th. There is for now no information on the game, but some should emerge at said conference; it is likely that the new version will be very similar, with just the main character changed and some events modified accordingly, as in the "for girl" version of the PlayStation Harvest Moon Marvelous Interactive (Victor Interactive Software at the time) had already released in 2000.

Baten Kaitos: The Endless Wings and the Lost Sea and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga should also be presented at the same conference.

The 'regular' version of Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town should be released in North America on November 11th.
