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. In other regions, you'll find Natsume, XSeed Games, Marvelous AQL of Europe, and Rising Star involved in the series' release.

The latest version of the mainstream farming series in various regions of the world are:

• Japan: Bokujou Monogatari: Futago no Mura+ (December 2017)
• North America: Harvest Moon: Light of Hope (May 2018 [Switch/Ps4]) and Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns (February 2017)
• Europe: Harvest Moon: Light of Hope (June 2018 [Switch/Ps4]) and Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns (October 2017)

The latest version of River King, in all regions of the world, is River King: Mystic Valley (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 interns. 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 Harvest Moon News

Stardew for iOS and 4-col comic | Posted at 06:15 PM on 12 October 2018Happy Farm'n Friday! We finished up all the tasty zucchini recipes by the start of this week, only to discover today that there's more zucchini! Oh my! This latest one is a good size for Yakisoba, or perhaps even turning into zucchini noodles. Or zucchini noodles in the Yakisoba... hmmm... though the Zucchini Cobbler recipe looks interesting enough. There'll be another 'zuc ready for harvest in a few days that will work for that recipe.

Today is National Farmer's Day in the US, where we recognize the hard work that our farmers do. Thank you Farmers!

LDC Mobile App Update

The mobile app for Little Dragons Cafe now appears to work outside of the Anime Expo promotion. If you download the app from the Android Store or the iOS Store, it will prompt you to "Scan the Package" to get started. Just point your phone to the game box. The app will bring up an AR image of the little dragon running around in a circle while also triggering the front-facing camera, allowing you to take a selfie of yourself with the dragon running around your head (or a picture of the dragon running around the nose of a large plushie of Donkey Kong, as imaged here).

The "Scan the Package" will also work with an image of the game box open on your computer screen, so you don't actually have to buy the game to take a picture with the little AR dragon.

Stardew Valley on iOS

The super-popular farming game, Stardew Valley, will be coming to Apple devices on October 24. The full game will retail for $7.99 USD and does not require any in-app purchases to play. Your Apple device must be running on iOS 10 or higher to support the game. While the game features version 1.3 story content, it does not have multiplayer support. The game will support English, German, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish languages.
