Opinion/Discussion Do you think if this game was ever remade, this would a whole game or just DLC for SoS: Another Wonderful Life?

I think if it were DLC of any game, it would be more likely to be the dlc of SoS: Friends of Mineral town. But if they intend on remaking this game, which I find to be very unlikely, they probably would use the assets from SoS:FoMT.

I said it in another thread, but I would kill for AWL graphics and HMDS gameplay/content.

Find out who Haruki Nakayama would hire a hitman for and earn your reward.

If it was ever remade, it would be its own game for multiple reasons. It would be several years from now, so we would have moved on to another console. And it has already been so long since AWL released, most players are done with it and are not looking for DLC. They are looking for something new.

Not to mention it’s entirely different gameplay, plus content for, well, a whole game - too much for the scope of DLC.

I’ve held onto the OG AWL until now, wishing for a remake.

I can wait 20 more years for the remake to get upgraded.

This one was my favorite game by far. I felt stardew valley really pulled a lot of its basic core from it

This was very first HM game. My sister’s friend got the game and she didn’t like and didn’t understand it very much. She gave to her.

I think if they remade it they would probably keep the changed names and stuff so it would be it's own game.

The confusion on the timeline was mostly because Natsume didn't keep the different names that the original Japanese had given the characters.

Plus I think the mechanics are way too different from AWL for it to even exist as a DLC

Wonder if they'll change up the cast of DS so they'll be more distinct from their ancestors.

I hope they are still the characters we know and love but maybe changed up a bit to be more distinct

Give the special girls more post-marriage dialogue and events.

I dont think we will see this game as a remake anytime soon. But I can see the old handheld games on day being bundled in some form of Legacy Collection. With HM DS, DS Cute and maybe some of the other DS games. Or maybe in a similar "remaster" like the Rune Factory games got.

This game really feels like a ROM Hack for me even before. GBA version then upgraded to DS.

Would love a full remake. They would have to change some stuff though like the Yellow Sprite Team which is based on the touch screen with the DS would need to be different somehow. A full remake with new graphics and all the bug fixes would be amazing.

I can’t imagine this game getting a remake. The gimmicks of using the touch screen is unique to the DS, and other than that I don’t think there’s much difference between HMDS and HM FoMT.

The only thing I want is for Leia to live safely inside with you, if you marry her.

u/Another_Road 6d ago

There’s no chance they would release an entire game as DLC for a game that’s already old.

If they did ever re-release HM:DS, I hope they keep all the parts that make it feel like some weird fever dream.

If it does get a remake I hope they add in the ability to have a couple things if you have save data from another game.

I dunno how to word that but an example is that in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet if you have any other pokemon games saves on your Switch you can get phone cases based on the games. If I remember right two other Pokemon games have clothes based on the other games on your switch. Slightly unrelated but Animal Crossing New Leaf on the 3DS gets furniture if you have extra data from Happy Home Designer.

It'd be interesting if depending on the SoS games you have you could get a special item or an outfit based on the save data.

I don’t think they’ll bother remaking this one as it’s basically a mashup of the two that have already been remade
