Ushi No Tane | Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons, and Legend of the River King Video Games

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.

FoMT GBA, PF Theme Song, and 4-Col Comic | Posted at 08:35 AM 15 April 2016

Happy Farm'n Friday! In North America, Natsume has added sealed-box copies of Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town and Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town to their eBay auction site. GBA games were easily bootlegged back in the day (can you believe that was over 10 years ago?), so there are many copies that players have purchased over the years that aren't authentic, whether Harvest Moon, Pokemon, or any other Gameboy Advanced game. These two wrapped boxes are authentic copies of the classic game, perfect for any serious game collector. The bidding war for these two gems have heated up: MFoMT is currently sitting at $41 USD while FoMT is all the way up to $100 USD! The auctions will end on Monday (18th) at 9:30 AM Pacific Time. You can watch the tomato-throwing craziness over on the eBay website:

In Japan, the official website for Story of Seasons: Precious Friends of the 3 Hometowns updated with images of the new Tsukuyusa marriage candidates and villagers that were revealed in last week's Famitsu magazine. Marvelous also added a snippet of information about the cooked dishes' Meal Power and the new Super Mario clothing outfits. The game's title theme song, Honobono Yukou, has also been added in its entirety to the Specials page, separate from the promotional video that Marvelous released a few weeks ago. You can hear the whole song by clicking the green Play button on the official Bokumono website:
