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.

Also in Japan, the Wii U Virtual Console has been blessed with the Gameboy Advanced game, Kawa no Nushi Tsuri 5, which we know as Legend of the River King: Never Released in English. The game came out 14 years ago on the GBA console, but never made it outside of Japan. It's a cute little game where you are pulled into a river and transported to a magical world where you must solve the mystery of each village in order to find your way home. Why is the King of Oven Kingdom acting so weird? How can you convince Emett's aristocratic dad to allow her to marry her lower-class beloved, even though he's currently missing? Oh so many problems to solve by fishing! There's even a Fogu guide for it. In North America, Harvest Moon: Skytree Village is still set for a 2016 release date, with an European date set for 2017.
