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:

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.

New Sleeved Shirts, ToTT+ DLC #1, and Dec 2017 4-col | Posted at 06:19 PM 08 December 2017

Happy Faaaaaaaaaaarm'n Fridaaaaaaaaaay! I was able to fix Doc's house in Light of Hope this week (huzzah!), but I still haven't finished the Community Center in Stardew Valley. Almost finished with the Christmas lights though! Tough to do as a one-woman project, but I'll get it done!

New Long-Sleeve Shirt Options

Some new long-sleeve shirt options have been added to the Harvest Moon shirt options on the US Amazon website. There's now a long-sleeve bluebird and long-sleeve 20th Anniversary logo shirt available, each priced at $29.99 (plus tax if applicable):

The 20th Anniversary shirt has an image timeline of the Harvest Moon games printed on the back of the shirt, starting with the SNES game and ending with Skytree Village.

Two Towns+ DLC Details

In the latest edition of Nintendo DREAM, Bokumono Producer Hashimoto outlined the plans for the first download content bundle they want to add to the 3DS release in Japan of Bokujou Monogatari: Futago no Mura+ (EN: Tale of Two Towns 3DS). The first DLC will contain new types of wild animals that will appear along the mountain path between Bluebell and Konohana: the Serval Cat, Raccoon (not the Tanuki "raccoon" that already exists in the game), and Fennec Fox. The first DLC is planned to be available at the same time as the game's release on December 15.

December 4-Col Comic

Here's the new Two Towns themed 4-col comic from the December Nintendo DREAM magazine! Emi is the new protagonist deciding whether to live in Bluebell or Konohana, but she seems to have confused 主 (nushi, a farm "master" or "farmer" in this case) with the fish-related reference ヌシ (nushi, the fish king from the long-neglected River King series).

Until next time! - Cher (No Farm'n Friday next week, as it's my mom's Christmas gathering all weekend long. Lots of out-of-town relatives!)
