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:

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.

New Lost Valley Trailer | Posted at 11:55 AM 24 October 2014
We've 11 days to go before the North American release of Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley! Earlier this week, Natsume published the official trailer for the game on their YouTube channel. The game looks more filled in compared to the original E3 video we saw last June:
There's still a few more characters that haven't been introduced yet, such as the smexy underworld king, so keep an eye on the company's Facebook or Twitter accounts for reveals up until the game's launch. From watching the trailer, we can see that the horse race, fishing contest, and cooking festival returns, along with a new Egg Festival. You can see some character interactions, the Harvest Sprites helping your farm (Calvin seems to help with animals), and images of the wedding and post-marriage child. Even our favorite DA DE DAA DAA Harvest Goddess makes an appearance. Bergsala Lightweight will be publishing Lost Valley in Europe in the first few months (Quarter 1) of 2015. The parent company is also associated with Rising Star Games, so keep an eye on RSG's Twitter account for EU launch information. Besides the English language, the game is anticipated to be available in German (Das verlorene Tal) and French (Le Vallée Perdue). There's no official news to report this week on Story of Seasons. I finished up most of the event documentation last week, except for the post-ring flower events; I will need help with those once the game is released in North America. There's only 12 random-type events in SoS, but there are 15 events with your farming rivals. And here's the November Nintendo DREAM 4-col comic! Until next time!
