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)
• Europe: Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos (October 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.

SoS VA and LV DLC | Posted at 02:10 PM 14 August 2015In Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley news, the last batch of DLC is now available to European players. Players now have the choice to include the optional marriage candidates Andrea and Luke in their games. Remember, to download the extra content use the option from the game's title screen; you won't find it directly within the Nintendo eShop. XSeed Games posted on their Twitter account that their next voice recording project is Return to Popolocrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale. I would imagine this means the JP VAs will not be included in the North American release of the game. It makes sense, since I wouldn't imagine that a lot of potential game buyers would be fluent enough in Japanese to understand what the in-game characters were vocally saying. Also, some of the deeper JP voices (e.g., Anton the Scholar) are difficult for me to hear unless I crank up the sound volume and/or use the in-game options to decrease the background music volume, so replacing them with EN voices that are a little easier to understand is positive. And here's the July Nintendo DREAM 4-col comic! - Cher (Being an adult is just like being an older kid. Really! *Kermit flail* wwhhhaaaa yaaaaayy!)Feedback: Add | View (2)
