Gpara has a little preview of Harvest Moon: Tree of Peace (or Tree of Serenity, which is the literal translation from the Japanese of the subtitle, whatever they stick with, but it certainly isn't Heroes) that demonstrates how the Wiimote is green and a farmer's best friend. Now if only web translations weren't as hard as actually raising a profitable family farm without subsidies in the West in this day and age...

But the idea remains the same here as it does across a lot of similar Wii games. If you've sliced and sutured in Trauma Center, sautéd and shishkabobbed in Cooking Mama: Cookoff, then you should readily figure your way around a hoe in Tree of Peace. A lot of the descriptions in Gpara's preview revolve around shaking the Wiimote, though.

The preview also covers those minigames like fishing, for example, and also reveals that the fruit of your loins in the game will also have in-game roles. Children born to your character will also be able to help out in the field. Though when Google Translates it as "makes field work your own child help who grew also the system are added" the creepy subject-verb-object arrangement kind of evokes "Children of the Corn."

Fields work your own child? This farm is cursed, we tell you, cursed!!!
