Nintendo Switch was released two years ago. Part of the initial introduction to the hybrid console, the big N announced some big games as well. Story of Seasons Switch was one of the major titles announced to be released on Nintendos latest console. But Marvelous and Xseed Games have been very quiet about the farming simulator. What happened to the beloved franchise I wonder.
As you may or may not know Story of Seasons is formerly known as Harvest Moon. It is a farming simulation role-playing video game series created by Yasuhiro Wada and produced by Marvelous Inc.
The series has quickly gained in popularity, and became one of the most beloved Nintendo 3DS games of all time, selling millions of copies. The last installment of the game was Story of Seasons: Trio of towns released in June 2016 in Japan, and later in the U.S. Some DLC content has been added to the game later on as well.
Story of Seasons Switch is in Development!
However, fans wonder what Marvelous has been up to since the release of Trio of Towns. Nintendo promised a release of Story of Seasons for Nintendo Switch, yet no other details have been revealed. I reached out to Xseed Games in hope to obtain some more information about Story of Seasons Switch.
However, at this time Xseed games had nothing to share, but promised to update everyone in the near future when they have more details and information to share.
Initial Nintendo Switch Games Lineup by Nintendo Showing Story of Seasons Switch Story of Seasons Switch Might See a Reveal this year!
One thing is for sure, Story of Seasons Switch is coming sooner rather than later, as Maervelous games has recently confirmed that a new Story of Seasons Switch game is currently in development and a crossover game called Doraemon Story of Seasons is available on Nintendo Switch now! Even though we may not have any details yet, we know that we will be able to play it in the near future!
It is the perfect year for Marvelous and Xseed games to come forward and reveal their latest SOS game! I can’t wait for it!

Stardew Valley has clearly become one of the most popular Farming and Life simulation games since Harvest Moon. Serin Fate takes a fun new spin on the popular genre and even adds some Fantasy Life to it.
In Serin Fate you play as a Witch and therefore you are in possession of some magical powers. As you begin playing the game you will start learning new spells that can help you on your journey.
The small development team behind the game states that inspiration was taken from games such as “Pokemon, Harvest Moon, Runescape, and Chrono Trigger.”
Farm, Craft and Explore!
Serin Fate offers a wide variety of tasks that remind me a lot of Fantasy Life that also offers a wide variety of things to do. In this game however, you can freely choose where you’d like to dedicate your focus and time towards to. Feel like crafting some new armor to protect yourself on your next adventure? or maybe instead build some furniture to restore your hut? The choice is always yours.
Enjoy some zen time
If you don’t feel like going on an adventure to try out your latest crafted items, you can also choose to sit back, relax and do some gardening work. Much like Harvest Moon, Serin Fate offers a huge variety of tasks that we come to love from games like Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley and even Story of Seasons.
Explore the atmospheric world, collect materials by cutting down some trees or uncover some hidden gems spread throughout the world. Of course you can also cast your fishing rod in hopes to catch some of the many fish out there.
The options are endless which make Serin Fate a wonderful game on its own. It doesn’t try to be another game that already exists but only takes inspiration to create some very unique on its own.
Serin Fate is Available in Pre-Alpha Now!
Serin Fate is already available on Steam if you want to get your hands on this game today, you can! And yes, the developers are working towards a Mac and Nintendo Switch release as well.

Sole developer behind Peaceful Days shared a little update with his fans this morning. The farming and life sim game coming to Steam needs a little bit more time before we can start playing it.
Peaceful Days is an adorable life and farming simulation game where you call the tiny village your home. Talk to the villagers, care for your farm and make yourself a vital part of the village. Peaceful Days is definitely a game to keep an eye on if you enjoy gems like Stardew Valley and Story of Seasons.
Peaceful Days slightly delayed
Nhat shared a tweet earlier this morning stating that he was “Sorry for the delay” as he is waiting on the translation team to finish proof reading the games story. Nhat further explains ” I hope I could release it sooner but it’s Lunar New Year here, it has been really busy for me and the translation team. I just added new contents while waiting for them to finish their proofreading.”
So even though the game will be a few days late, it is exciting to see that he took the time to implement a few more features into the game!

If you are eagerly waiting for Peaceful Days, you can wishlist it on Steam already and also check out my in-depth coverage on the game – including the new jobs right here.

The release of Harvest Moon: Mad Dash for Nintendo Switch has been delayed until November 5th.
For the ones who don’t know yet, Harvest Moon Mad Dash is considered a spin-off the once popular Harvest Moon series. Natsume describes the game as “This different take on the Harvest Moon experience will let players enjoy the classic features of the series in a new and exciting way!”
In Mad Dash you can go solo or take along a few friends with you to harvest, fish, milk, and more as you complete orders to advance to the next level. Of course there will be plenty of obstacles to overcome in this fast paced puzzle game.
In a recent Tweet from Natsume, it has been revealed that the release for Harvest Moon: Mad Dash on Nintendo Switch has been delayed until the 5th of November. The reason given for the delay is that there has been some shenanigans at the farm, and some animals have been misplaced. A cute way of saying that things haven’t gone as expected so far, and something needs a little fixing.
You can still purchase your copy of Harvest Moon: Mad Dash for the Switch on the official Nintendo website. For more information on the game, you can check out my coverage of the title right here.
