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.

Nadi and More Minou |
Posted at 08:52 PM 25 January 2014Marvelous has updated their official website for
Harvest Moon: Connect to a New World with artwork of
bachlorette Minou (who we saw during the last Nintendo Direct) and
bachelor Nadi, who was announced in last week's Famitsu magazine. Minou is still a Safari zone Ranger, but for those of you who don't know Nadi, he is a serious-personality landscape designer (i.e., a gardner) who travels the world alone.
The game is coming out in Japan at the end of February. So far the Japanese Nintendo 3DS eShop just has the same promo video on it that exists on
MAQL's website but unfortunately none of it is in 3D. At some point I'm expecting that there'll be more details on the 3DS eShop.
Famitsu has also revealed that mining is back in the game, but the mine is located within your wildlife Safari. It has "mining points" like in A New Beginning. You can use the ore to craft accessories.
Pets also return - the horse is obviously used for transportation, the dog is for herding animals, but the cat has been reserved for gather items for you. There's no details on exactly what the cat will find for you.
And here's the February New World 4-col comic!
