The Ushi No Tane websites specialize in information about the Nintendo Gameboy console versions of the Harvest Moon and Legend of the River King games. Both game genres are created and published in Japan by Marvelous Interactive. The North American localization is handled by Natsume, while Rising Star takes care of the European release.

News 'n stuff | Posted at 12:07 on 08 Jan 2010If you haven't done so yet, head over to Natsume's web site and check out their updated design. The company has set up a mailing list you can register for to receive site updates, and there's even a "Community" tab in the works. Does that mean Natsume will have a message forum in the future? We'll just have to wait and see what their "Community" is all about.


At the end of next month, Harvest Moon: Twin Villages comes out in Japan. Marvelous continues to update the official web site with new tidbits of information. The Fish Pond has returned to Harvest Moon, you can change your clothing (for boy and girl main characters), and even use a horse cart to transport goods.

Marvelous also uploaded their television commercial for Futago no Mura, although there really isn't much to see. There's a few moments of gameplay, but the commercial seems to showcase models Yuka Nanjo and Kyoko Hinami more than the game itself

You can see the short commercial on the Futago no Mura movie page.

On Monday (the 11th), the Ice Cream Set add-on package will be available for My Little Shop. This add-on will unlock Ann as a customer, allow you to buy a Strawberry Cow, and unlock Ice Cream remodeling pieces for your shop.

UNoT fan Brianna let me know this morning that the Egg Set Add-on for My Little Shop is now downloadable from the Add-on menu. The Egg Set is only 400 wii points, and activates the Turkey to buy (2000 G), unlocks Skye from Harvest Moon DS Cute as a customer, and allows you to remodel your store with egg-shaped pieces.

Natsume yesterday announced a collaboration with Namco to sell Frantic Farming to a wider range of cell phones. Now those of us who don't own an iPhone can buy a shortened version of the DS game (The full DS game is actually fun and challenging if you've ever been interested in playing it).
