Jul 2, 2019The popular gaming outlet Famitsu announced that Marvelous is currently working on catering another gem to the Story of Seasons… – Harvest Moon community. A remake of the much beloved Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town is coming to Nintendo Switch this year.
The game was first released in 2003 and quickly became one of the best selling gameboy games of its time. While not many details were revealed about the upcoming remake, Famitsu promised more information on the title in the next magazine.
This is exciting news for all old school Harvest Moon fans, for the ones who don’t know the name of the franchise has since changed to Story of Seasons and since Natsume still owns the rights to the series ( Harvest Moon ) it will most likely be released under the name Story of Seasons once the game releases in the West.
Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town will be released on October 17th in Japan. A western release date has not yet been announced but is likely to happen after the Japanese launch.

You’re welcome! I have such mixed feelings about a remake of a mash-up of FoMT and MFoMT, but the full scans should be out in just a few days. Once I see how the characters look in their portraits (other than the baby, that is), I’ll have a better idea of my full opinion on this art style. It’s really interesting news, either way!

Thank you Kiki! Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral town is a great game in my personal opinion. I look forward to picking this one up. The visuals remind me of the latest Story of Seasons games, but more importantly,y I hope they don’t mess with the gameplay mechanics to much.

I wonder if they’ll have rivals in. They had rivals originally, which were, of course, the romance options for the feMC in MFoMT, but who knows if they plan to keep the rival system in, since they stopped doing rivals in all the more recent games. A lot of people loved the rival system, but a lot hated it, too, so…I really wonder.
