The Ushi No Tane websites specialize in information, FAQs, and guides about the Nintendo console versions of the Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons, and Legend of the River King video games. These game genres are created and published in Japan by Marvelous (JP). In other regions, you'll find Natsume, XSeed Games/Marvelous (USA), Marvelous (EU), and Rising Star involved in the series' release.

The latest version of the mainstream farming series that have been released in various regions of the world are:

• Japan: Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life (January 2023)
• North America: Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos (September 2023) and Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life (June 2023)

The latest version of River King, in all regions of the world, is River King: Mystic Valley (JP 2007, NA 2008, EU 2009).

Since 2000, Ushi no Tane has been run by a grouchy old lady who happens to be fond of video game agriculture along with two feline helpers: Intern Captain Bootu and Intern Hondo Mewnaka. The website is not officially affiliated, sponsored, endorsed, or employed by the developers of Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons, or River King. This is simply a fan site.

Latest Farming Video Game News

The first Lost Valley bachelorette! | Posted at 05:18 PM 10 August 2014Natsume continues to reveal new characters for their upcoming game, Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley. We now have Hanna, Jimmy, and the bachelorette, Emily.

• Hanna runs a restaurant with her daughter, Emily, and her husband.
• Jimmy is Brutus' youngest son. He believes his older brother Tony is a wimp.
• Emily helps her mom run the restaurant with a cheery smile.

Another character who was revealed is the first harvest sprite, Rowan. The yellow fellow will help you start your story in the valley by guiding you through the basic tutorials.

We already know that the Harvest Sprites will eventually be able to help you manage your farm, so hopefully we'll learn what Rowan's special ability will be. As for Story of Seasons, things are quiet from XSeed's side as they are still toiling away at the game's localization. Remember that any release dates you discover online or at retail stores are just placeholders and not confirmed information. The game's newely-patched Novice Mode has made it easier to conserve stamina when using tools, and items cost less in the stores, but it didn't seem to resolve the material supply problem. Construction objects require the same amount of materials; the boulders at the Safari Zone still require 600 Lumber and 100 Stone Lumber, yet the cost of construction is now only 70,000 G instead of 100,000 G. Being that money is rather easy to collect, especially now that you can work more by using less stamina, it doesn't feel like goals like the Safari remodels have been rebalanced with the introduction of a beginner's mode. It just means you can buy the required materials from Gunther's carpentry shop for less money, although Corona doesn't sell more of the materials while playing Novice mode versus playing Veteran mode. Here is the September Nintendo DREAM 4-col comic!
