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:
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.
Happy Farm'n Friday! This weekend will be wet and mucky, but there are lots of spring bulbs sprouting! This one is at the corner of the driveway, greeting everyone who walks down the street. Soon it will (hopefully) have the company of tulips and other lovely flowers that I don't exactly remember what I had planted there.
So far in my progress through Rune Factory 4, I found a weird butterfly girl in Yokmir Forest that beat me up the first time I met her because I got stuck against the wall during one of her attacks. The second attempt was successful, and now the overly-happy creepy girl lives in my town. I also found a cliff in the forest to jump down, found a treasure chest with lots of money (woo!), and then met a quick defeat at the hands of some orcs. Then while back in town, I finished a request to obtain my first sickle, somehow swapped it with the equipped watering can I was holding, and then ended up giving my watering can to Clorica as a gift. Thanks to that profitable treasure chest discovery, it was just a matter of heading to Bado's to buy a new can!
Now I'm investigating a weird voice that is spooking various villagers. So far, the game is enjoyable, but sometimes I seem to get lost in the conversation text. Everyone seems so unnaturally positive.
Still nothing to report regarding a localized release date from XSeed Games or Marvelous EU for Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. I did manage to finish the fishing page for the Fogu guide last weekend, and I've another page completion planned for this weekend. Onward!
Don't forget fellow USA farmers, most of us will be springing forward one hour this Sunday morning because of the Daylight Savings Time change. Hawaii and Arizona do not participate in the hour-jump nonsense.
The Emerald City Comic Con in nearby Seattle was officially postponed today. The event was to take place this weekend, but due to the Coronavirus, will be postponed until this summer.
