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.

Natsume QA, Sale, and SV EU Info | Posted at 09:49 AM 24 March 2017Happy farm'n Friday! It is raining today and will also be raining be tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day, and so on. It rains a lot here. It is time for Natsume's Spring Q&A session, where company representatives Pres Hiro, Boss Man, Localizer Adam, and CM CeeCee will answer public-submitted questions about the company and its published game series as best as they possibly can. Granted, questions about games they haven't announced yet or if the company is hiring won't be answered, but there are a plethora of other great questions to ask such as:

• When will Doc get his own game series?
• Doc is a wonderful character, so he will be a marriage candidate in the next version, right?
• Will there should be more eccentric characters, like Doc, in future Harvest Moon games?
• KA-POWZA NEED MORE DOC NAO PLZ?

You can submit your questions to the company by posting them to @Natsume_Inc on Twitter, to the company's Facebook page, or to Community Manager CeeCee's Tumblr. In Europe, Rising Star Games has kicked off their promotion of Harvest Moon: Skytree Village, announcing that the game will be available in early June. The publisher has also released an EU intro video, but it seems to be missing one key feature: there's no Doc! Egads! Perhaps RSG will reveal the great inventor closer to the EU release date. The trailer is in English, but there are French, German, and Spanish flavors of the village name on RSG's press release. Back in the USA, there is a Playstation flash sale on a variety of Natsume-published games, including three Harvest Moon titles:

• Harvest Moon: Boy and Girl = $4.49 (from $14.99)
• Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon (PSP/Vita) = $4.49 (from $14.99)
• Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley = $5.99 (from $19.99)

This sale will only last until Monday (27th) and does not include Harvest Moon: Back to Nature, Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland, or the Ps2 Classic versions of A Wonderful Live and Innocent Life. Until next time! - Cher (Finally had success with growing lotus seeds. New flowers for the pond!)Feedback: Add | View (4)
