"This game looks really boring on any system."
... It's a lot like any Gameboy game.
You pick it up, you have some fun with what little features and graphics are there, you look at the box, call Jack(,etc.) the "cutest little amish chibi you've ever seen" and throw it in your pile of overly played Pokemon/Mario games. But they have more replay value.
You're just about right.. there's not too much satisfaction to these games unless you play Harvest Moon: Back to Nature, because of the less-than-cardboard characters/dating system and events. Plus, there were actually SHEEP. The other games are limited to a dog(, cat in rare cases), dopey racing horse, and a bunch of cows. Plowing/"Mining" (Oh, look, I found a meteor in my backyard!)/Gardening weren't highlights, but just the opposite.
I've never found green-thumbing to be fun, but I at least have my own $10 copy of BtN...
