It was only a day ago that we got the surprise announcement for the Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town remake coming to Nintendo Switch this year. Today XSEED Games announced that the game will come to the west as well and if that wasn’t enough – a first Story of Seasons Reunion in Mineral Town Trailer has been released.
Marvelous, who will be handling the publication of the game in Europe, revealed the remake would be heading to Nintendo Switch in Asia on October 17th. Many fans were speculating if and when the game could possibly come to the west as well. While it is possible to download any game from any region to any Switch, due to it being region unlocked, it is still great to know that Story of Seasons Reunion in Mineral Town will indeed be translated into English – once again.
XSEED Games also revealed that a release date for the English version will be confirmed soon. Furthermore, as we already assumed yesterday the game will be published under the name Story of Seasons Reunion in Mineral Town.
Story of Seasons – Reuinion of Mineral Town boxart! Story of Seasons Reunion in Mineral Town “is a complete remake” of the beloved Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town Game Boy Advance title. XSEED Games also said ““that will let series fans revisit the charming world of Mineral Town, while also introducing it to a new generation of farmers. In this peaceful setting, players will grow crops, take care of animals, and build relationships with villagers.”
We are so excited to be revisiting the game in brand new visuals on the Nintendo Switch later this year. Take a looksie at the first adorable Story of Seasons Friends of Mineral Town trailer below.

With new titles such as Doraemon: Story of Seasons and Harvest Moon: Mad Dash releasing soon, we here at myPotatoGames thought it was a perfect opportunity to look back at the Bokujō Monogatari series. Below you’ll find a list of a few defining games of Harvest Moon, developed by Marvelous. Moreover, the reason for why we now technically have two separate Harvest Moon franchises.
To summarize, the North American publishers responsible for the localization of the Bokujō Monogatari series change from Natsume to Marvelous’ own sister company Xseed Games in 2012. Therefore, we have Natsume continuing to create Harvest Moon branded games and Marvelous re-branding to Story of Seasons for their new line of farming simulation games. The PAL (European) distribution was handled by Rising Star Games and now Nintendo. Let us take a closer look at when this all began with the Westernization of this series.
Japan: Marvelous – Creators of Bokujō Monogatari
Harvest Moon was created in 1996 by Yasuhiro Wada and produced by Victor Interactive Software (acquired by Marvelous in 2003) and was known as Bokujō Monogatari in Japan. During this time, and until 2013, Natsume oversaw the English translation and publishing of the series, thus Harvest Moon.
The Last Harvest Moon Game -Before the Split
Harvest Moon 3D: A New Beginning was the last title in the Bokujō Monogatari series to be released under the “Harvest Moon” name with the developers involvement (Marvelous). The game was released on the 3DS in North America in 2012.
North America: Natsume – Publishers (2013-present)
In 2012, Marvelous discontinued licensing the series to Natsume. Natsume then began their own series of Harvest Moon games in North America and Europe beginning with the release of Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley in 2014. This is due to Natsume owning the rights to the brand and title of Harvest Moon. Therefore, the games below were not created by Marvelous but rather Tabot Inc. Light of Hope is their latest installment of their main series, released worldwide in 2017.
North America: Xseed Games (Marvelous subsidiary) – Publishers
In 2014, Marvelous Inc. announced that the latest installment in the series would be localized by their American publishing brand Xseed Games under the new series title Story of Seasons. The game Story of Seasons was subsequently released in North America in 2015 and the second game of that series, Trio of Towns, released in 2017.
We’re very excited to play as many farming games as possible and glad that this genre is on the rise. If you’re interested in Yasuhiro Wada’s work (the original creator of Harvest Moon) then you should check out his most recent game, created by his own company Toybox, Little Dragons Café. You can also check out our latest news on Rune Factory; a spin-off series developed by Neverland Co. and published by Marvelous.

About Reel Fishing: Road Trip Adventure

And for that matter, who’s the man who sent them on their adventure in the first place? He certainly is a unique individual, to say the very least! In any case, working together, these friends will unlock all these secrets and more in Reel Fishing: Road Trip Adventure!
About Cosmic Defenders

Nintendo just recently streamed the Mario Maker 2 Nintendo Direct a few days ago, today the company surprised us with the announcement of an upcoming Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield Direct.
Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield are expected to be released later this year, as they are part of Nintendos 2019 roaster. The announcement of this Direct makes fans wonder what will be shown at E3 next month in Los Angeles. As there are only few games left the big N has not talked about yet, such as Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Astral Chain, Animal Crossing Switch, Daemon X Machina, Luigi’s Mansion 3, and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening.
Fans are wondering if this opens up the opportunity to make an Animal Crossing Switch E3 presentation much like the Breath of the Wild E3 back in 2016, that exclusively focused on the Zelda title. Animal Crossing Switch was announced in September, 2018 and since then, no additional details have been revealed. If history is any indication the next installment of the beloved village simulator could celebrate its debut be at E3 2019. Animal Crossing New Leaf was shown off for the first time during the 2010 E3 as well.
We here at myPotatoGames are hopeful that Animal Crossing will be at E3 based on Nintendos recent investor call, in which was mentioned that the upcoming E3 will be the place the big N plans to talk about all Nintendo games coming in 2019, this also includes Animal Crossing Switch – if you missed the news, you can get caught up here.
We are keeping our fingers crossed for Isabelle, Tom Nook and all the other lovable as well as sometimes mildly annoying characters to make an appearance on our Nintendo Switch console.
You can watch the Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield Nintendo Direct below on June 5th at 6:00 A.M. PT / 9:00 A.M. ET.
For some extra excitement, we are also keeping an eye on the recent news on Story of Seasons Switch.

In the latest Nintendo Direct, Nintendo and Bandai Namco announced that Japan will be getting an exciting crossover game. The game will ‘combine’ the farming simulation Story of Seasons franchise with popular kids anime franchise Doraemon. The game will be entitled Doraemon Nobita no Bokujou Monogatari, or Doraemon: Nobita’s Story of Seasons.
Playing as a young boy named Nobita (who also features in Doraemon’s orginal manga and anime), the Story of Seasons aspect of the game sees players growing crops, raising animals, and improving their farm, which is located in a town called Shizen Town. The game also features the Harvest Goddess and other regular characters from the Story of Seasons Franchise, as well as Doraemon and his friends.
The Doraemon part of the game utilizes the tools of Doraemon (who is a robotic blue cat) when growing crops. Using his tools, you can enlarge and even mutate crops.
As is typical in Story of Seasons and Harvest Moon games, Doraemon: Nobita’s Story of Seasons has regular town events that players can partake in. At these events, Doraemon can use the aforementioned tools to lend a hand.
Another feature of the game shared with the Story of Seasons franchise is the ability to make friends with gifts. By giving villagers items that they like, Nobita can improve his relationships with them.
Although there isn’t a set release date, the game is expected to release exclusively on the Nintendo Switch in Japan later this year. With Story of Seasons games selling well in Japan, and Doraemon being an extremely popular anime series there, it is expected that the crossover game will sell like hot cakes.
Whilst Doraemon is less notorious in the West, we can still hope that this adorable looking game will eventually get localized!
