Product Mini Profile Rune Factory 2 in: Fantasy RPG links » p/reviews

Developer and publisher Natsume announced today that, true to tradition, they are offering a squirrel plush as an exclusive pre-order gift for gamers who order Rune Factory 2: A Fantasy Harvest Moon through Amazon.com.

"There are gamers counting the days until they get their hands on Rune Factory 2, and we wanted to give them a little something special for being the first to order the game," said Hiro Maekawa, President and CEO at Natsume.  "Fans of Rune Factory and Harvest Moon have loved the exclusive plushes that we have created for the series over the years, so we know that they will be excited to get their hands on this one and add it to their collection."

Amazon.com's Rune Factory 2 page indeed states there will be a "gift with purchase."  Priced at $27.99 and eligible for the site's free Super Saver Shipping, it's a better package than most other retailers are offering.  Plush supplies are limited, however, so there is a first-come-first-serve basis, as with most special bundles.

Rune Factory 2: A Fantasy Harvest Moon is set to launch on November 18, 2008 for the Nintendo DS.
