Rune Factory 4 Publisher: XSEED Games Developer: Neverland Co. Genre: Fantasy RPG Release Date: 10/01/2013 I’ve played and enjoyed Harvest Moon, but I never really picked up Rune Factory.

Attack of the Friday Monsters! A Tokyo Tale Developer: Level-5 Publisher: Level-5 Genre: Adventure Release Date: 07/18/2013 Attack of the Friday Monsters!
