Harvest Moon: Magical Melody (牧場物語 しあわせの詩 for ワールド, Bokujō Monogatari: Shiawase no Uta for Wārudo, lit. Ranch Story: Song/Poem of Happiness for World) was the third Harvest Moon game to be released for Gamecube, but it was released in the PAL regions as a Wii game after the Gamecube version was cancelled for unknown reason (this is the second Harvest Moon game to be cancelled in the PAL regions).
This title features many new characters, many of these characters having been based on characters throughout the series. It's also the first game in the series to have a mutliplayer feature.
Story
In Harvest Moon: Magical Melody, the player arrive in town by reading an advertisement that they saw in the paper. The player will then meet Theodore, the town's mayor in Town Square. You will be prompted to pick a name for your character as well as your farm. Players will also get a choice on where they would like to have their starting home, and can choose between three locations.
Once a home has been chosen, the player will settle into their new home. They are awoken the next day to the presence of the Harvest Sprites, who are surprised that you can see them. The sprites will ask you to help them, and players will be enlisted by the sprites to awaken the Harvest Goddess, who has turned herself to stone out of melancholy at the townspeople's disregard.
The player's goal is to collect notes, so that they can resurrect the Harvest Goddess. Your rival, named Jamie, is always telling you that she (or he) will be the one to resurrect the Goddess, though in the end, it is the player. While the sprites say that 100 notes are needed to free the Goddess, only 50 notes are required to awaken her. Once the Goddess is awakened, it's still possible to get all 100 notes to complete the game.
The hero and heroine of the game.
Gameplay
The Wii version of Magical Melody differs from the Gamecube version of the game. Although the story is identical and features the same villagers, the Wii's major difference is that it does not allow the player to choose between a male or female protagonist. The Gamecube version allows both genders to be the main heroine, but the Wii version allows a male character only.
Controls also differ between the two versions. The wii features motion control for activities such as mining and fishing. The Gamecube's controls are simplified, only needing the player to press buttons to perform tasks.
