Seeing as how StoS was kinda niche on DS it actually makes a lot of sense that people weren't aware of the situation with the naming and Natsume vs the devs. I myself only found this out maybe a year and a half to 2 years ago, so bigger releases like this are sure to spread awareness and help bring the series back into the limelight in the west.
It’s so funny all these young people in the comments saying how it’s a copy of animal crossing, not knowing this series came out far before animal crossing lol.
if you dive deep into the story why the name changed to story of season, it make me hate natsume so much don't trust natsume they're not the real developer of this game, even harvest moon from your childhood
@@DwiS-qs8by the true developer of the bakujo monogatari series is now called marvelous, natsume back then only doing localization version of the game and renamed the game "harvest moon" When marvelous become a big developer that they could localize the game on their own, they couldn't use the name harvest moon because the name was trademarked by natsume so from 2016 they have to rebrand the series as "story of season" Natsume don't want to go bankrupt decided to make harvest moon game of their own and boy oh boy it was bad so the name harvest moon right now is actually a ripoff Tl;dr harvest moon is a ripoff of harvest moon
Well... real life relationships are MUCH harder than in video games. It's okay to be lonely sometimes. Just remember to strive for personal growth and maturity instead of hoping to rush into a relationship when you're not ready.
Funny how they can't use "Harvest Moon" as title anymore but they get away with the "Friends of Mineral Town". Anyway the art style is not to my liking but it sure will be a nostalgic blast!
When my brother said Friends of Mineral Town was coming out on Nintendo Switch, he did NOT tell me that it was going to be updated and in 3D. Oh my gosh. I need this immediately. I wonder if my taste in the bachelors has changed any, since it's been over a decade. I guess I'll find out!
You can also marry the girls if you find them more appealing (they added the ability to marry any bachelor/bachelorette regardless). Me personally, I always find the guys to be a little plain in these games. But I do half go off of design since a lot of times the characters are pretty one dimensional.
No it’s not a clone of animal crossing or stardew valley lmao 😂😂 this was made before those & is a remake. Originally called harvest moon but now it’s called story of seasons
Either way, Stardew took the concept to new heights. The bar has been set pretty high, and this title just doesn't look like it comes close to it. My Harvest Moon days are over, haha.
@@volespirit247 It really is. The game has much more depth than trailers can do just. There's whole wiki sites for every part of the series. You can watch playthroughs if you'd like, and see if you can make a decision after.
It’s confusing, but Story of Seasons is a more accurate translation of the series’ Japanese name (Bokujou Monogatari - I think it’s technically more like ‘Farming Story’ or something to that effect, but Seasons works better for the alliteration.) Honestly by this point I’ve mostly adjusted for new games, but referring to the series as a whole or past titles I default to the Japanese name because... well, yeah. REALLY wish Natsume would back off with this misleading trademark thing, or at least completely own up to the fact that they’re doing it. Especially when Marvelous decided to be as unsubtle about things as possible, here. (Love the new localization, though! The difference in personalities going from ANB to Story of Seasons was already dramatic, but seeing it with characters and a script we’re already familiar with just makes it all the more stark.)
@@arzr_er Blame Natsume for the artstyle, this was ironically done by the same designer, but they had to tip-toe away from the original designs because of Natsume..
@@arzr_er Honestly, the art style almost reminded me of Magical Melody (which is my least favorite Harvest Moon game) but that aside, the game is actually really good. And yeah, I agree the price is a bit much, maybe try getting it when it's on sale? 😅
@@ArtsyJet Yeah *Stardew Valley* is kind of a spiritual successor to the *Harvest Moon (or Story of Seasons)* games. There is also the *Rune Factory* series, which is a spin-off of the HM series, It's basically HM plus RPG elements. Anyways, the HM/SoS series is a good series if you enjoy farming/life simulation games. 😁
@@najminahdi6957 I found this explanation over on GameFAQs, maybe it'll help. We can say that "Story of Seasons" is the new real Harvest Moon. As far as I know, Yoshifumi Hashimoto has been the producer of Harvest Moon (now known as Story of Seasons) games since the beginning and he is still making these games. Story of Seasons is the first "Harvest Moon" game called this way. That's because some years ago, Natsume was the one company in charge of the localization of the "Bokujo Monogatari" games in Europe and North America but then, Marvelous (the developer company) changed from Natsume to Xseed games for the localization role. Since "Harvest Moon" was a name created by Natsume, they still own it and Marvelous is not able to use it anymore in its games. There have been two games since the separation of Natsume and Marvelous: Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley (Natsume branch) and Story of Seasons (Marvelous and Xseed games branch). In the near future, Marvelous will release Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns and Natsume will release Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories. In conclusion, Story of Seasons is the new name for the english releases of the Bokujo Monogatari games, developed by Marvelous (the company that started making these games), and Harvest Moon, since Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley, is the name of the farm simulation games being developed by Natsume.
Natsume has always owned the rights to Harvest Moon, the developers split and formed Xseed and made Story of Seasons (which is real Harvest Moon) and Rune Factory.
This series was a thing even before Animal Crossing's first Japanese release for n64, in fact, I'm pretty sure that the GBA game that this is a remake of came out Before Animal Crossing's first American release.
Pete (the farmer) needs to be in Smash. Like seriously this franchise has such a long history on Nintendo platforms and Marvelous doesn't yet have a representative in that game.
Idk about a fighter. Realistically speaking he'd only get a spirit. If we're lucky, maybe a song. Plus, Villager is as close as we'll get to represent the "slice of life" genre of gaming.
My husband bought the game and started playing it yesterday. I owned Friends of Mineral Town back in the Gameboy Advanced days (I still have it!) and he had never played before. What a lovely nostalgia trip it was to watch him explore Mineral Town and meet everyone!
It's so weird, Seeing all the Harvest Moon and Story of Season games in the last decade it just makes me think back to Harvest Moon 64 and how great I felt it was.
This is actually a remake of a remake, originally was on PSone known as Harvest Moon Back to Nature, then got remade on GBA known as Harvest Moon friends of mineral town and now we have this.
I am so happy they brought my childhood to the Switch man. I put way too many hours into this game. By the way. This is just a remake of Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town for the Gameboy Advance. Which by the way came out years before Stardew Valley. The first Harvest Moon was on the Super Nintendo. So this is not a copy of Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley.
Thats cus both were released at almost the same time. You were even able to link your games together for some kind of special feature. And my god was this and Magical Melody the best of Harvest Moon!!
All the music is the same but it’s been updated and has a slightly lighter orchestral/instrumental feel to it. There are also new songs I don’t quite recognize, they may be new additions!
Story of seasons is from the actual makers of harvest moon Would like to play it but I'm broke because I just bought just dance 2020 and will save up for paper Mario now
I've literally seen no comments talking about how it's a AC or SV clone can yall shut up with "It's not an AC or SV clone" everyone already knows that.
Never played this one, but Harvest Moon DS was a great game. Here’s to hoping that if/when they remake it, they don’t go for the weird 3D style but make it an amazing 2D game :p
Yess! I've been waiting a while for Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons to make a game where I can date the girls without having to play as the male character.
Pov: a long day at work and you go and make some hot chocolate or coffee and start playing your fav game which is this one and you chill while hearing raining sound effects 🥰
Never actually played this one, will definitely get it but I dont know when I'll get around to playing it, love harvest moon ever since I got the ds version all those years ago, ah childhood
It’s not in this particular trailer from what I can tell, but I am SO GLAD IT IS FINALLY HERE. I first started playing DS/Cute as an insecure, questioning 12-year-old when I heard about the ‘Best Friends’ system (even if it was, of course, removed in localization,) and ever since full customization’s been a thing I’ve been playing female-in-all-but-thumbnail PCs. The thought of actually getting to be acknowledged as my gender in a series that helped me come to terms with my sexuality quite frankly leaves me speechless.
LadyRegalli Fr I used to play as a male in games like these just so I could live out something that I thought was impossible in my real life. I actually cried when I first found out. Things like this really give me hope for the future and acceptance.
No guys, you aren't smart for knowing that it isn't a rip-off. Literally the whole comment section is pointing it out. Please stop. No one is calling it a rip-off.
Money. For its exuberant fan base, the Harvest Moon games dont pull in tons of money. That's why the art looks low effort and why so many of the games are just recycled versions of older Harvest Moon games. Not this one though. It's fantastic. Gamecube/Gameboy Advance was peak Harvest Moon era. Check out Harvest Moon Magical Melody if you haven't. It's basically a gamecube version of the new Animal Crossing game, plus farming. It's seriously the best Harvest Moon game.
MagicLars15 I mean I get that but have they considered that no one plays the games because of their art style? Stardew valley sold a ton because of its art style and characters and animal crossing sold a ton for the same reason. Harvest Moon was a super charming franchise that lost its way
@@captainnwalps6689 well for what its worth, im playing it now and the graphics are great. And while the art style is that childish "chibi" art style, it does at least look professional and of good quality.
I remember when i use to play this game on psx like 20 years ago. was one of the most amazing games. i was expecting of you having some changes.. and release it on other consoles too...
@@dragonmk123 Thats what made me angry the most. Alot of the old Harvest Moon fans don't even know the names changed, buying the "new" Harvest Moon games and getting let down, expecting something else.
@@genius3879 originally called "Bokujo monogatari" (Ranch stories) - Changed into Harvest moon by Natsume for Western Release - Marvelous who owns the developers, Victor, wanted to change localizers to Xseed - Natsume squats on the Harvest Moon name. So Marvelous, has to give the series a new name, "Story of seasons", While natsume is still churning cheap harvest moon titles, to be able to keep the name, while scamming anyone who didn't know about the name change.
Its not even an hour since this video release and its already full of 500+ comments about Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing ripoff, wow either you people are salty af or desperatly wanna clarify somethings, let me tell you there no need to, im sure everyone already now this is the remake of the original, theres no way stardew valley or animal crossing or farm simulation player doesnt know the original FoMT, if not how can this video can get 8000+ views within less than an hour,
Dunno why everyone is all about "Stardew valley" ....I tried so hard to play it... but I hated almost all the npcs.....they remind me too much of rl people (please tell me i'm not the only one that felt this way?) .... but I grew up with harvest moon / Story of seasons... and mineral town was always my favorite. Been playing this remake nonstop
Ina Sya I sorta think stardew got hyped up because you could be ‘gay’ which I mean, is amazing! Especially since I think it was the first farming game to make that happen. But still ... it’s over hyped ...
To the plebs who keep calling this an Animal Crossing clone, you can't marry Raymond can you? Yeah, thought so. You can marry the Raymond of THIS game though. So go scam people with your Nook Miles tickets or whatever. Also, Harvest Moon ran so that Stardew Valley could shamble around aimlessly.
The amount of people who don't know that this is Harvest Moon made by the same developers makes me sad.
The legal reasons are even weirder. The company is a child division of the ones that own the name.
Well the name change is confusing especially if you never played a game in the series
Seeing as how StoS was kinda niche on DS it actually makes a lot of sense that people weren't aware of the situation with the naming and Natsume vs the devs. I myself only found this out maybe a year and a half to 2 years ago, so bigger releases like this are sure to spread awareness and help bring the series back into the limelight in the west.

I find it funny that everyone’s saying “it’s not a stardew valley or animal crossing clone” when I haven’t even seen a single comment calling it that.
I've replied to 20~ comments like that, they're there.
Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing changed Harvest Moon's concepts for the better.
This game only changes the name...
Downvoted into obscurity at this point probably
It's Harvest Moon rebranded. Literally.
I don't know why they did the rebranding though.
Even though Stardew Valley was inspired by Harvest Moon, I think it does almost everything better!
When my brother said Friends of Mineral Town was coming out on Nintendo Switch, he did NOT tell me that it was going to be updated and in 3D. Oh my gosh. I need this immediately. I wonder if my taste in the bachelors has changed any, since it's been over a decade. I guess I'll find out!
Which bachelor did you choose? Whenever I played a girl I always, *always,* went for the Dr.

You can also marry the girls if you find them more appealing (they added the ability to marry any bachelor/bachelorette regardless).

I really wish they could get their name back this is the true harvest Moon
It's not the name. It's the essence
Same. What Natsume is doing with their intentional deception of the uninformed fans, is ridiculous and I no longer support them because of it.

Yess! I've been waiting a while for Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons to make a game where I can date the girls without having to play as the male character.
YES PETE JUST MARRIED GRAY IN MY SAVE FILE
sorry for the caps, im just soo soo stoked
MY CHILDHOOD GAME BUT WITH BETTER ANIMATION I'M CRYING BRING BACK SO MANY MEMORIES 😭😭😭😭 I'M WILLING TO START ALL OVER AGAIN NOW 👾
I like the Game Boy Advance version of Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town.
Aaaah the good old days of gaming are coming back in HD and portability
lmao funny how people are calling this a stardew valley or animal crossing copy when this series came first
No one is?
Pov: a long day at work and you go and make some hot chocolate or coffee and start playing your fav game which is this one and you chill while hearing raining sound effects 🥰
Absolutely no one in the comments section that I've seen so far:
Everyone else: Why are you calling this a Stardew Valley ripoff
The comment right after yours is one of them lmao
Just sort by newer
keep scrolling down, they've been buried into the abyss.
There's a BEAR in this version?! GAME OF THE YEAR!!
Tbh, i don't like the new ArtStyle of the more recent StoryOfSeasons/HarvestMoon games
But, it still looks like a good remake
Same dont like it as much but it is ok for now. I wish they would of had done it in the doraemon story of seaskn came, that looked beautiful
Reminds me so so much of Magical Melody ❤💓😭💖❤💓😭❤ I'm SO EXCITED!!
I feel that’s Pokémon music in the background
Yeah, it sounds a lot like the ORAS soundtrack
Sam R. Yeah
Never actually played this one, will definitely get it but I dont know when I'll get around to playing it, love harvest moon ever since I got the ds version all those years ago, ah childhood
This game is so awesome, my childhood memories came back as soon as I started playing it. Such a nice and relaxing game
The music in this game is old but gold.
Everyone 10+
*SUGGESTIVE THEMES*
Been playing this for a week and I'm loving it😍
Funny how nobody is talking about the fact that GAY MARRIAGE WAS IMPLEMENTED INTO TBIS GAME. That was something I needed in harvest moon.
Eww
@@adamajinugroho830 BEGONE HOMOPHOBE
It’s not in this particular trailer from what I can tell, but I am SO GLAD IT IS FINALLY HERE. I first started playing DS/Cute as an insecure, questioning 12-year-old when I heard about the ‘Best Friends’ system (even if it was, of course, removed in localization,) and ever since full customization’s been a thing I’ve been playing female-in-all-but-thumbnail PCs. The thought of actually getting to be acknowledged as my gender in a series that helped me come to terms with my sexuality quite frankly leaves me speechless.

LadyRegalli Fr I used to play as a male in games like these just so I could live out something that I thought was impossible in my real life. I actually cried when I first found out. Things like this really give me hope for the future and acceptance.
OMG IM BUYING THIS IMMEDIATELY!!! This was one of the *BEST* Harvest Moon games!!!!!
"Launch Trailer" didnt this come out 2 days ago in the USA?
Yes it did, shows how much Nintendo cared about it.
Naya exactly lol
Man..
This brings back so many memories..
Game shark do all of the hardworking for sure 🤣
No guys, you aren't smart for knowing that it isn't a rip-off. Literally the whole comment section is pointing it out. Please stop. No one is calling it a rip-off.
A lot of people are, and of animal crossing at that
yeah, I’ve only seen two comments
@@jackfrombluey
I've replied to about a dozen and a half of them, they're definitely there.
I saw a guy calling it a HarvestMoon knockoff...
@@jesusramirezromo2037
I've seen like 4 or 5 of them
OMG 💙💙💙💙 Alex is in this game 💙 he was my hubby in Magical Melody 😂
A Wondeful Life remake when?
Yes PLEASE and save the homeland ❤️
end of the year
@@KajiRider1997 Huh didn't expect them to actually do it. Wonder if they'll remake all the old games.
when I look at this it looks like a hm64 re-hydrated
Why has every game in this series after ‘a wonderful life’ have this super cheap look to it?
Money. For its exuberant fan base, the Harvest Moon games dont pull in tons of money. That's why the art looks low effort and why so many of the games are just recycled versions of older Harvest Moon games. Not this one though. It's fantastic. Gamecube/Gameboy Advance was peak Harvest Moon era. Check out Harvest Moon Magical Melody if you haven't. It's basically a gamecube version of the new Animal Crossing game, plus farming. It's seriously the best Harvest Moon game.
MagicLars15 I mean I get that but have they considered that no one plays the games because of their art style? Stardew valley sold a ton because of its art style and characters and animal crossing sold a ton for the same reason. Harvest Moon was a super charming franchise that lost its way
@@captainnwalps6689 well for what its worth, im playing it now and the graphics are great. And while the art style is that childish "chibi" art style, it does at least look professional and of good quality.
The Wii games looked decent.
Everything is better then this super poor effort of "HM Light of Hope" crap that only have the Name, but not the Soul of HM.
I remember when i use to play this game on psx like 20 years ago. was one of the most amazing games. i was expecting of you having some changes.. and release it on other consoles too...
This is like harvest moon friends of mineral town
Because it is a remake of that game.
It is exactly harvest moon just that the name harvest moon belongs to another company that imported it from Japan and had a nasty split
@@dragonmk123 thanks for the information
@@dragonmk123 Thats what made me angry the most. Alot of the old Harvest Moon fans don't even know the names changed, buying the "new" Harvest Moon games and getting let down, expecting something else.
@@genius3879 originally called "Bokujo monogatari" (Ranch stories)
- Changed into Harvest moon by Natsume for Western Release
- Marvelous who owns the developers, Victor, wanted to change localizers to Xseed
- Natsume squats on the Harvest Moon name.
So Marvelous, has to give the series a new name, "Story of seasons", While natsume is still churning cheap harvest moon titles, to be able to keep the name, while scamming anyone who didn't know about the name change.
Harvest Moon makes a grand comeback, YESSS!! Now I'm going to have to start playing the old PS1 version again 😍
Its not even an hour since this video release and its already full of 500+ comments about Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing ripoff, wow either you people are salty af or desperatly wanna clarify somethings, let me tell you there no need to, im sure everyone already now this is the remake of the original, theres no way stardew valley or animal crossing or farm simulation player doesnt know the original FoMT, if not how can this video can get 8000+ views within less than an hour,
You underestimate how ignorant people can be. lol
The classic adventures are back🤩
Dunno why everyone is all about "Stardew valley" ....I tried so hard to play it... but I hated almost all the npcs.....they remind me too much of rl people (please tell me i'm not the only one that felt this way?) .... but I grew up with harvest moon / Story of seasons... and mineral town was always my favorite. Been playing this remake nonstop
Ina Sya I sorta think stardew got hyped up because you could be ‘gay’ which I mean, is amazing! Especially since I think it was the first farming game to make that happen. But still ... it’s over hyped ...
I like Stardew Valley. My problem is with soundtrack and NPC portrait
I played this so much on GBA.
Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life Remaster
Yes, but also Magical Melody! Thats the best one!!!
Yes to both of those! I loved a wonderful life and magical melody!
I love the way this looks! It’s like a mix between magic melody on game cube and animal parade on the wii
To the plebs who keep calling this an Animal Crossing clone, you can't marry Raymond can you? Yeah, thought so. You can marry the Raymond of THIS game though. So go scam people with your Nook Miles tickets or whatever.
Also, Harvest Moon ran so that Stardew Valley could shamble around aimlessly.
Nothing is better as Back to Nature.
Everyone else: ghost of tsushima

@The Ring King huh?
