HARVEST MOON BOY SERIES
Hopefully, due to the popularity of the older titles, previous entries on newer consoles will receive a remaster for the Nintendo Switch, giving players more access to Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons games, and keeping the previous content relevant for those looking for new farming adventures.Harvest Moon: Back To Nature ( Bokujo Monogatari: Harvest Moon in Japan), released in 1999 for the Playstation, is the fifth game in the Harvest Moon (now Story of Seasons) series and the first on a non-Nintendo platform. Due to the lack of ports for recent games in the series, and no announcements by Nintendo or Marvelous to bring titles forward, it is possible Story of Seasons may become locked to outdated consoles like so many previous games in the series. Due to the planned closing of the 3DS eShop, players may want to invest in a digital version before it is no longer available, to ensure a copy is accessible. While Story of Seasons is a fantastic game, it is currently limited to the Nintendo 3DS. The only downside to the game is the overly long opening tutorial. Story of Seasons manages to capture everything that was enjoyable in previous titles of the series, and add splashes of new content, without overwhelming the player.
The title offers a number of excellent marriage candidates, a fulfilling narrative, and well-balanced events and festivals, making it a pleasure to get lost in. Players can place themed buildings on their farms to specialize their output, with cheese, wine, fabrics, and furniture all acting as different pathways for gameplay. Story of Seasons is packed down with gameplay, allowing players to not only manage their own farmstead filled with animals and crops, but also a number of fields for rent, and a small shop. Released for North American players on the Nintendo 3DS during 2015, Story of Seasons was the debut game marking Marvelous' split with Natsume.
