All Articles: Story of Seasons

Earlier this week, XSEED Games confirmed on their website that they will publish Marvelous’ next Harvest Moon game, Story of Seasons, in North America. The game will be exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS, and is already available for pre-order at North American retailers for $39.99.

Yoshifumi Hashimoto, Head of Development at Marvelous AQL, said: “Story of Seasons represents a new chapter in our amazing tale… We are creating a new experience that will carry on the spirit of Bokujo Monogatari, and in doing so, will fulfill our loyal fans’ expectations and desires while ushering in a new generation of games to come.”

The game has been out in Japan since earlier this year, and it allows players to create a character that is fully customizable, as well as some new items to decorate your house with – including items from the Super Mario Bros. games. There’s also a brand new StreetPass option, bringing multiplayer to the series. It sounds like they’re taking more than a few pages out of the Animal Crossing book!

Story of Seasons will be released in Winter, but you can check it out at the XSEED Games booth (#5436) if you’re going to the E3 Expo this year.
