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.
This week in North America, the special plushie promo bundles for Harvest Moon: Skytree Village have become available on Natsume's US Amazon.com online store. The Bluebird Bundle contains the limited edition 5-inch tall blue bird plushie and a physical copy of the game, and retails for $39.99. The larger premium Bobcat Bundle contains the limited edition 12-inch tall bobcat kitty mega plushie and a physical copy of the game, and retails for $49.99. The plushie bundles do not appear on Canada's Amazon.ca website.
