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.
In Japan, a new bazaar event has started in Bokujou Monogatari for Mobage. This library-themed event has players growing book flowers to earn bazaar medals. You can then exchange the bazaar medals for items based on the rank you qualify for: buy an item using bazaar medal in rank 1 to unlock rank 2, buy two items in rank 2 to unlock rank 3, and so on. The items players can collect are hair styles for their Nature Sprite avatars, new animals like the Library Owl and Library Goat for the farm, Nature Sprite clothing like the Librarian Wine Red Dress, and Goddess Medals. If you spend 300 Goddess Medals at the pond (yikes!), you could get a Library Koala farm animal.
The mystery seeds for growing the library are randomly given to players in higher numbers than the last Bingo event. Up to 8 mystery book seeds are given each day too. Players can use real-life money to buy Mobage Coins to buy seeds, but this time it is much easier to get the seed without having to spend Mobage Coins. This event ends on the 30th.
In North America, the July State of The Farm will be posted by Natsume Community Manager, Ceecee, on Monday the 31st. Will we get new information on Harvest Moon: Light of Hope? Will they announce the winners of the show-us-your-HM-collection contest and give out the 20th Anniversary Cow Figurines? Perhaps they will finally buckle under fan pressure and make Doc a marriage candidate? Tune in to the company social media Facebook or Tumblr sites on Monday for the latest update!
There's still no information on release date or price for the North America DLC and bug patch for Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns. No worries though; XSeed Games will let everyone know when it gets closer to being ready for release. 3oT has been out in North America for 5 months and will be out in Europe on October 13.
And here's Igusa Matsuyama's Nintendo DREAM 4-col comic for July 2017!
Until next time!
