I'm not going to bother explaining why the game planned for March changed from GBC to 64 because I already wrote a pastebin on why that changed.
However, after quickly learning the Karen run for HM64 and managing for do quite a few streams of, I really enjoyed the category and game, and wish I was able to do the full month.

This is the first Harvest Moon game where I've actually had to learn the route instead of routing it myself, and I actually quite liked the fact that it was already routed. Sure it meant I probably wasn't giving the same kind of commentary during streams that I would with a game I had routed, but because it's not the most complicated of games to learn, it allowed me to jump straight into runs. Whether or not I should have.

The fact that I only touched 1 of the 5 marriage categories this game has to offer, and the fact that I know I can get a better time in Karen, means I will almost definitely revisit this game at some point in the future.
