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 (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: Pioneers of Olive Town (February 2021)
• North America: Harvest Moon: One World (March 2021) and Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town Ps4/XBox (October 2021)
• Europe: Harvest Moon: One World (March 2021) and Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town Ps4/XBox (October 2021)

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 three feline helpers: Intern Reba, 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.

Latest Farming Video Game News

Happy Farm'n Friday! Mr.Fogu has been keeping his new 3D printer buzzing along for the past few weeks. So far, he's printed a flower pot (at least that's what he told me it was after I gave up guessing what its purpose was), a new part for a friend's vacuum cleaner, and various other trinkets.

He even put together this fancy question block cartridge case for my Nintendo Switch games. This'll keep the games in a well-organized and dust-free spot. It's cute, too! Besides the game case, he printed some wall hooks for storing my Pro Controller and headphones off my desk. I wonder if he can print cat toys...
