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.

Mura+ DLC #2, SV in JP, and Jan '18 4-col | Posted at 10:28 PM 12 January 2018Happy Farm'n Friday!

Mura+ DLC #2

The second bonus Japan-only DLC was released on Thursday for the 3DS version of Tale of Two Towns+. The Pisuke and Usagi DLC costs about 93 Yen and takes 2 blocks of SD space. After purchasing and downloading the extra content, the mayor of the town you're living in will visit in the morning to introduce the little bird and little rabbit. You're invited to talk to them if you happen to spot them in the mountain area. I have yet to see them wandering around the mountain though, so I'm probably just missing the day, weather, or time that they appear. Ok, finally found their first event by going from Konohana to Kono Low-Mountain after 4pm. So they're definitely around. The game also updated to version 1.2, though I couldn't tell what the patch corrected.
