Marvelous Interactive today announced first details regarding the first installment of its popular Bokujou Monogatari (Harvest Moon) series on PlayStation Portable. While the game was initially announced in spring 2004, the company has been mum about it since then. Similar to Sega's Sakura Taisen 1 and 2, Bokujou Monogatari Harvest Moon Boy & Girl will feature two games on one UMD: Bokujou Monogatari Harvest Moon and Bokujou Harvest Moon for Girl. The former was originally released for PlayStation in Japan on December 16th 1999, while the latter hit Japanese retail store shelves on December 7th 2000. Marvelous has yet to open the official website for this newest PlayStation Portable title, so no information regarding possible enhancements or additions to the original PlayStation games is available at this point.

Bokujou Monogatari Harvest Moon Boy & Girl will be released in Japan on December 8th for 4,800 yen ($43.37 US).
