Harvest Moon DS (牧場物語 コロボックルステーション Bokujō Monogatari: Korobokkuru Sutēshon?) is the first game for the Nintendo DS in the Story of Seasons series of farm simulation video games/role-playing. It was published and developed by Marvelous Interactive Inc., and first released in Japan on March 17, 2005. It is the first entry in the series without series creator Yasuhiro Wada heavily involved.
Until the release of Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley nearly a decade later, Harvest Moon DS was the last title in the series to feature the original protagonist, Pete, as the default lead character. Future games would feature a new lead with every new entry and no longer be dedicated to one release per platform.
The player is a young man who lives with his friend Takakura on a farm in Forget-Me-Not-Valley, at roughly the same time as Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town. The game begins with the Harvest Goddess, a deity of Harvest Moon, and the Witch Princess fighting. Neither can win, so they part ways. The Witch Princess, on meeting the Harvest Goddess next, attempts to cast a spell to silence her, but instead petrifies her. While trying to undo her spell, the Witch Princess inadvertently sends the Harvest Goddess to another world, so she sends all of the Harvest Sprites (small, elf-like creatures) to the same world to rescue her. The Witch Princess then tells the player to bring all of the Harvest Sprites back in order to rescue the Harvest Goddess.
Living in the valley are a number of villagers, nine bachelorettes, and five rival bachelors. The characters and locations in Harvest Moon DS are the same as those in Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life with a few minor exceptions.
