Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life

is a Harvest Moon game for Nintendo GameCube. It is the female version of Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life with updated elements similar to that of Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life Special Edition.
The purely female perspective affects the story, although Marvelous Interactive Inc. tweaked and updated some parts of the gameplay, as well as adding several new items in this game. It is the second game to focus on the female perspective since Bokujō Monogatari: Harvest Moon for Girl.
Another Wonderful Life features connectivity with Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town like that is found in Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life and Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town. The game's similarity with the original A Wonderful Life and its other flaws contributed to its poor sales.
==Plot==
Pony is a young woman from the city who inherits a somewhat run-down farm in Forget-Me-Not-Valley after the death of her father. She tries to make it successful with some help from his old friend, Takakura.
Each chapter is one year long, which is four seasons with ten days each in Harvest Moon time and narrated by Takakura. The chapters all show how Pony takes care of her farm, befriends others, and courts one of the men according to how the person controls their character.
==Gameplay==
The gameplay is similar to the original A Wonderful Life video game, except it includes the feature to court three bachelors and marry one of them by the end of first chapter. The game progresses through six chapters in the game, which shows Pony growing from a young woman to old age. Starting from the second chapter, Pony gives birth to a son, who will grow older and she needs to take care of him for the rest of the story. Residents also grow older or move as time passes.
==Bachelors==
Pony can propose to her chosen bachelor by giving him a blue feather, but he will only accept it after she has convinced him to fall in love with her. If Pony is not engaged by the end of the first in-game year, either Gustafa, Marlin, or Rock will propose depending on who has developed the most affection. If Pony does not want to marry, the game will automatically end at the end of Year 1.
Marrying at the end of the first year will let the game continue to follow her married life. If Pony fails her married life, she and her husband will divorce before the game ends.

==Children==
This is the second Harvest Moon game in which the player can raise the child to adulthood. Rock's, Marlin's, and Gustafa's sons each have their own set of interests and talents. However, Pony can influence the child's developing personality by taking him places, introducing him to people, and giving him gifts related to various fields. At the end of the game, Pony's son will choose one of six available careers as an adult.
==Connectivity==
If the player connects their Game Boy Advance with Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town to the GameCube while playing Another Wonderful Life, the two games can exchange information. Initiating the connection requires going to the mountain path next to the vegetable farm where Celia lives in Another Wonderful Life, and throwing an offering into the Harvest Goddess' pond in More Friends of Mineral Town. Residents in Forget-Me-Not Valley will begin to talk about events in Mineral Town vice-versa. Additionally, some of them will make periodic trips to Mineral Town, returning with new items to sell or hints for the player.
Even without connecting the games, the Harvest Sprites in Another Wonderful Life occasionally visit players in More Friends of Mineral Town.
