Looking for a wonderful way to spruce up your personal space? Trying to find that perfect gift for the Animal Crossing fanatic in your life? Or would you just like a charming little Zen Garden to help you find peace at any time you may seek it? If you answered yes to any or all of these, then this little Animal Crossing themed Tiny Zen Garden Kit may be just the thing you are looking for!
The adorableness of this little Zen Garden cannot be overstated. It features a small, hand-painted scene of one of my favorite characters in the Animal Crossing series, Harvey. No one more chill than Harv. And now he can help you “find your center” in your very own home.
The whole kit starts with a fenced in “Zen Zone”. You will recognize the fence as being the Picket Fence from ACNH. You will fill the zen zone with the sand (included in the kit), then place the various composition items to your liking. I added my own moss for effect, but you can choose to add any greenery you wish to bring it to life more. The included items are as follows:
1x Harvey Figurine
1x Harvey House
1x Harvey House firewood stand
1x Zen Bridge
1x Cherry Blossom Tree
6x Stones
1x Sand rake
1x Themed Gift Box
Once your scene is complete, just rake the sand into different shapes and patterns until nothing matters and you are one with the universe. Zen accomplished! And all of this comes in an adorably packaged kit, so feel free to give it as gift to a friend or loved one.

It has been exactly 10 years since Nintendo launched the 3DS in North America. The handheld console may have had a rough start with a price tag a little too high but once Nintendo listened to its fanbase the handheld quickly become a fans favorite gaming machine and has sold more than 75 million units since its original launch back in February 2011.
With the Nintendo Switch just recently celebrating its third birthday, I thought it would be a great idea to take a look at the Nintendo 3DS. This handheld console was first released in February of 2011. The 3DS features a library of more than 1297 games – I took 15 of the cutest ones and listed them right here for you! Join me on a journey through The 15 Best Cute 3DS Games.
I also compiled a list of my 15 favorite Nintendo 3DS games, so if case you missed that list, check it out! This time I am being a little more specific. Kawaii lovers rejoice! Here are some of the 15 cutest 3DS games.

Since the last time I covered it, Cooking Mama Cookstar has gone through many changes and updates, making it a game worthy of the Nintendo Switch. In the beginning, many didn’t think it was likely that this game would live up to the reputation of its predecessors.
After an in-depth chat with the developers, iI learned that the initial patches would be just the beginning of the changes coming to Cooking Mama Cookstar. A few patches were then released to fix some of the issues, and I have no doubt that there will be more fine tuning to come.
I’d say that this is most wonderful news indeed, seeing as how there wasn’t supposed to be another Cooking Mama game…ever. In its current state, I can personally say that Cooking Mama Cookstar is definitely worth the time and attention of all fans of the Cooking Mama franchise.
This title is super cute and addicting, just like any cooking game should be. It is very exciting to see that the game is still more than the negative press it has received (mostly false accusations and bandwagon negativity), and that it continues to improve and grow.
While the game is currently not available through the Nintendo eShop, you can still find it on Amazon, and I was personally able to secure a few hardcopies for fans of both Cooking Mama and myPotatogames.
I have four copies to share with my friends (one lucky winner will also receive a Cooking Mama plushie with their copy), and all you have to do is comment on this post that you would like to enter, and share to FaceBook or Retweet on Twitter. I will take it from there. Winners will be announced one week from today, on January 29th, 2021.
If you would like to just skip the giveaway and secure a copy for yourself now, visit the official website for the game. There you will find more information about Cookstar, as well as directions to where you may purchase a copy (available in limited supply, hopefully more coming soon).
Good luck to all who participate, and I hope you enjoy Cooking Mama Cookstar as much as I have.

The Sims 4 has been around for nearly seven years and has managed to keep its large community engaged and creative. With plenty of new expansion packs this year alone, The Sims 4 sure isn’t done yet.
Though the sequel to the popular life simulation games seems to near completion as rumors about The Sims 5 multiplayer mode were teased recently.
These homes were all created within the game, some require custom content and some don’t. But these builds come to show just how extensive the building tools in The Sims really are – absolutely incredible. From Japanese rural towns to big Disney like castles, the only limitation is the players imagination.
No matter if you are in for some inspiration for your own home in The Sims or if you just want to indulge in some of these absolutely stunning creations, you will be in for a treat!

It is really never too early to start planning for the holidays. So many gifts to find and wrap before that big, preparation is key. Well, we at myPotatoGames have decided to help make it just a bit easier to do this, that is if you plan on getting a Switch or anything Switch themed this season. With this list, you could even put together the ultimate Nintendo Switch package, if you so chose!
The first piece of equipment you would need for the ultimate Switch bundle would, of course, be the Nintendo Switch itself. The one thing you need to decide first is which model you would like to gift. There are currently two different models, both with custom colors and bundle options. Here are a few options for you to check out and get you started sown the right path.
Once you’ve got the console itself, you are going to need some pretty sweet games to play on it. No matter what your style, or the style of those you gift to, there is sure to be a game on Switch that fits you. Here are just a few of the top selling games on Switch right now.
Last but certainly not least, you may just need a few attachments to go with your awesome new piece of hardware. There are many different options to help streamline your experience with the Nintendo Switch. You may buy them in single pieces as you need them, or just go ahead and get a huge bundle to cover all bases. You never know when you might need a JoyCon steering wheel or Tennis racket.

It seems that these days new farming games are coming out left and right. And because most single-person or small-team indie groups tend to build their games on PC, we get a lot of these awesome farming games on PC first. Compared to ten years ago, Steam is overflowing with farming games! Sometimes they come to console later, but some will remain exclusive forever.
But there is good news for everyone who has a preference for console gaming, or who doesn’t have a game-worthy PC right now. We’ve put together a satisfyingly large list of farming games that are either already available on console, or are confirmed to be coming to console at a later time.
Here are some console games that contain farming, growing or gardening mechanics, and they are all available on at least one dedicated gaming machine that is currently still in production. But they are not all in the same genre, and the emphasis placed on farming is different in each game, so these lists represent a variety.
I hope you’ll spot some of your favorites here, and maybe even have a few more to tell me about, so we can continue to make this list longer and longer.
For the ones who are not familiar with Doraemon Story of Seasons, it is a crossover game that combines the best out the beloved farming sim Story of Seasons and the more adventure driven Doraemon.
More info on Doraemon Story of Seasons here!
Take on the challenges of the modern farmer! Explore a huge open world including a detailed North American environment, loaded with farming activities, over hundreds of acres of land. Drive over 250 authentic farming vehicles and equipment from over 75 manufacturers, including brands such as Challenger, Fendt, Massey Ferguson and Valtra.
More info on Farming Simulator here.
For those with their head in the ‘clouds’, who have not yet played or heard of Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles, it is an aesthetic open-world adventure game. It was initially released for PC and PS4 on July 18th 2017. It was released for Switch on 17th May 2018.
Farming games are on the up rise. Everyone is starting to enjoy our favorite laid back and relaxing video games. The latest addition to the Farming Sim genre is Farm Together. A multiplayer or single player ( however you prefer to farm ) game made by Milkstone Studios. Farm Together released just a few days ago, and it is already stealing the heart of Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon fans.
More info on Farm Together here.
Slime Rancher, developed by Monomi Park, is a first-person farming simulation game with adorable pink slimes. Search for special treasure pods throughout the Far, Far Range and discover each slime’s unique secret style. Once discovered, you will be able to re-style every slime of that type whenever you choose!
More info on Slime Rancher here.
The Stillness of the Wind is a beautiful and unique take on the traditional and very popular farming game genre. The game focuses on Talma, an elderly woman who is spending her late days on her farmstead growing food, making cheese and tending to animals. The Stillness of the Wind packs everything you come to except from amazing farming games, such as Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons to name a few
More info on The Stillness of the Wind here.
Harvest Life is taking a cute approach to the oh so adorable farming life simulation genre. In this game the player will of course do some extensive farming, taking care of livestock and exploring the gorgeous environment. But beyond it’s usual farming features, the game also delivers an intriguing story line.
More info on Harvest Life here.
Your adventure on your very own tropical island. This is your island, your adventure! Do whatever you like! “Decorate the island, play dress up, collect bugs, grow crops and help your new neighbors.”
More info on Castaway Paradise here.
Deiland is a single-player adventure RPG with several sandbox elements, such as farming, crafting, and building. Put on the mantle of the Little Prince of Deiland and rule over your own planet!
In the Stardew Valley multiplayer mode, players can invite friends to their game and even provide them with their own little cabin. The Co-Op mode quickly became a fans favorite way to enjoy the much popular farming-sim.
More info on Stardew Valley here.
My Time At Portia has officially been released on PS4, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch! In this article, we are going to look at the key differences between the PC and Console versions as of the initial launch. Even though the two versions are very similar, there are some very noticeable differences on the console.
More info on My Time At Portia here.
Gather, craft and build the kingdom of your dreams to restore the ruined world of Alefgard. As the legendary Builder, you’ll construct rooms, towns and defenses while fighting monsters.
More Info on Dragon Quest Builders here.
Get ready to build a whole new world to your liking, and save the realm from Hargon. Hargon is back again and wishes to plunge the world into darkness and simplicity, striping the inhabitants of the land their ability to craft anything.
More info on Dragon Quest Builders 2 here.
Graveyard Keeper appears to be a darker game than what you would normally expect on your daily visit to myPotatoGames, but a closer look at the game reveals that its not much different from beloved franchises like Stardew Valley and other simulation games in the genre.
More info on Graveyard Keeper here.
Forager was released April 18th by Indie developer HopFrog and published by Humble Bundle. Humble Bundle is the same company to work on other popular titles such as Mineko’s Night Market and Inkenfell. Within a short week, Forager has already begun to take over the internet through streams and videos. It has also already received many very positive reviews!
Plantera is a farming-style clicker game that was released in 2016 by indie developer, VaragtP. With a “Very Positive” rating and over 3,000 reviews on Steam, it is easy to see why the developer has announced plans for a Plantera 2. Once finding out about this, myPotatoGames approached the developer to find out more information about the popular indie game sequel.
Little did I know when I started to play Little Dragons Cafe that I’d become so invested in the story line and characters. A small family of a mom, brother, and sister run a cafe together. One day, mom gets sick and you find out that she’s half dragon. An old man appears and tells the brother and sister that if they run the cafe together and raise this baby dragon well, their mom will be cured.
More info on Little Dragons Cafe here.
In case you haven’t heard, Ooblets is an extremely adorable farming SIM/creature collection game in the style of such classics as Animal Crossing and Pokemon. Only in this game, you don’t need to necessarily catch your creatures, instead, you grow them in your awesome garden! Your little friends will help you do many things as you explore the expansive lands before you.
The story is set in the world of Umbra, a world that has been affected by a catastrophic event that has ceased the world from rotating (thus the title Earthlock). The horrible event, known by the people as the Deadly Halt, has left the world in disarray.
Terreria is a game about adventuring, building, resourcing, and generally just doing anything you want, whenever you want and how you want it! The randomly generated worlds of the game keep gameplay fresh for weeks, months, and years to come.
“Clean up junk while bringing plants and creatures to life. Freely reclaim the Junk Planet in this 2D sandbox game. The game takes place on Junk Planet, a planet that was bombarded with so much junk, it was completely ruined. It’s here that a peculiar pair meet by chance and their story begins.”
More info on Junk Planet here.
Looking for a fresh start and some new surroundings, you set off on a voyage to begin your new life! Unfortunately, the weather has different plans, as your ship is hit by a monsoon, and goes down! You drift into a small harbor town, now in a shambles from the storm, where a young doctor named Jeanne saves your life.
More info on Light of Hope here.
Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns just came out, but this is whole different game within the same franchise. It combines the best you know from Story of Seasons and turns it into an adorable RPG Adventure Game. Popolo Crois comes with an engaging story line, and interesting characters that you will meet along the way.
More info on Return to PopoloCrois here.
Ever Oasis sports a team structure during dungeon crawling that’s reminiscent of Xenoblade. It seems like gameplay focuses mostly on combat when you’re in these dungeons. Other than that, mission and story structure are about what you’d expect from the average RPG.
“Establish a new life in a new country, developing relationships, cultivating the land and adventuring with comrades on an epic quest that begins with a humble tumble. Designed for beginners and series veterans alike!”
More info on Rune Factory 4 here!
“Longtime series producer Yoshifumi Hashimoto returns to lead a veteran ‘Bokujo Monogatari’ development team as the series is reborn in the West with its new name, STORY OF SEASONS.”
More info on Story of Seasons here!
Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns is the sequel to the immensely popular Story of Seasons for 3DS. It features a richer gameplay and a huge open world to explore. Harvest Moon fans have long considered this game a worthy successor to the popular farming franchise.
More info on Trio Of Towns here.
“Your parents recently offered you a chance to renovate the abandoned family farm, but reviving a successful ranch requires rebuilding the town. Can you find the materials and blueprints that allow you to create the best community in the land?”
More info on A New Beginning here.
The ‘Welcome Amiibo’ update to New Leaf brought with it a variety of new features, including a campsite area, much like the one seen in Animal Crossing Pocket Camp. With the Welcome Amiibo update coming to New Leaf in the same period of time that Animal Crossing Pocket Camp was meant to release, it’s blatantly obvious that the two titles were supposed to have the connectivity that Nintendo had teased
If the hustle and bustle of modern life’s got you down, Tom Nook has a new business venture up his sleeve that he knows you’ll adore: the Nook Inc. Deserted Island Getaway Package! Sure, you’ve crossed paths with colorful characters near and far. Had a grand time as one of the city folk. May’ve even turned over a new leaf and dedicated yourself to public service! But deep down, isn’t there a part of you that longs for…freedom? Then perhaps a long walk on the beach of a deserted island, where a rich wealth of untouched nature awaits, is just what the doctor ordered!
More info on New Horizons here.
Rune Factory 4 Special will feature all new visuals, an exciting “Newly-wed” mode and more! Check out the gorgeous trailer below for some story time as well as some brand new gameplay footage.

We’ve been following Staxel for quite some time now, which you can see in our article about the demo. Plukit, the developers, were kind enough to give myPotatoGames a copy of the full-release on Steam to review with the new updates. If you’re looking for a great sandbox game to spend hours and hours building and farming, look no further! Feel free to relax and explore a plentiful island, and build a wonderful town that villagers will want to move into.
Garden Paws, created by Bitten Toast Games, has it all in this simulation/adventure! You can garden, farm, fish, mine, run a shop, tame wild animals, decorate yourself and your home, build new stores and homes for the town, and much more! Constant quests to either progress the town or to help out some villagers makes it so that everything you do has a grander purpose, aside from just being cute that is.
More info on Garden Paws here!
Players take on the role of Sakuna, a proud yet lonely harvest goddess who is banished to a dangerous island with a group of outcast humans. As she tames the island by defeating demons in gorgeous, mysterious natural settings, she will also find a home in a mountain village. This is where she will prove herself worthy of her title by harvesting rice and bettering the lives of humans. Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin has an emphasis on the artistry of cultivating rice, and the craft behind the agriculture.
For those of you out there who are like us and just can’t wait to get your hands on Re:Legend, we have excellent news. Developed by Magnus Games Studio, Re:Legend is an online co-op adventure game that features all the goodies we’ve come to love so much at myPotatoGames (i.e. farming, crafting, creature collection). This amazing title is going to be available to try out very soon, and we’ve got everything you need to know about being a part of the early access trial.
