WHAT IF...CHIBI-ROBO???

My favorite DQ game! Day 1 buy for me.

I would imagine it had to do with Michael Jackson, his original involvement in the music, his death and recent controversies.

It could be out of respect. It could also be out of copyright concerns. Michael did a lot to protect his signature sounds so Sega may just be tied up with legal mumbojumbo.

Another day, another Twitter rumor.

I've started noticing a trend: People get their hopes up based on rumors, are crushed when it doesn't happen. Then, [Game Company Name Here] is the worst and hates their fans.

Let it happen organically...we'll see it when we see it.

Hey, it's not perfect but it ain't Harvest Moon One World LOL

@StardusterEX
Yes, I've seen it and it is a little disappointing. I'll still take it over Natsume's bootleg series.

(inhale)
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Please, if you need a new farming sim get Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town.

49 minutes of a new Fire Emblem character for Smash, then a one minute demo reel for the rest of 2021.

I'm glad people are picking up on the Marvlous/Xseed and Natsume split.

Graphically, it's not amazing but it looks LIGHTYEARS better than anything Natsume spits out. I'm excited to just take my time building the farm.

I wish Natsume would just knock it off already.

Please, don't give this game any press.
Don't give Natsume any attention. Lord almighty. Don't support bootleggers.

The REAL series (developed by Marvelous and now published by XSeed), Story of Seasons, will always get my money.

Those filthy bootleggers at Natsume are pathetic.
Don't even start with the "two cakes" argument. If Natsume didn't have the Harvest Moon name to steal, they'd have nothing of their own.

@Lordd_G
Goodness GRACIOUS.

Time to add it to the Switch library. It was a good one.

They left Nintendo for...this.

You could just wait for Story of Seasons and not buy Natsume's garbage anymore...

Are we forgetting something???
Oh yes, Katamari!! Please remind people this exists and have people buy it.

If you folks want classic Harvest Moon, you'd better hope Natsume pulls this off. The garbage they make with the Harvest Moon brand now is NOTHING compared to the Marvelous-made, Natsume localized Harvest Moon games.

Good to see Marvelous not taunted by Natsume. Thank you, Marvelous and XSEED, for bringing the ACTUAL games to us.

I miss you HUDSON SOFT. And Konami can kiss the rosiest part of my rear-end.

Anything to try and make a quick buck, I suppose. Some companies are seriously reaching these days.

This is what die-hard Natsume fans cling on to. Thinking it'll be better then Marvelous' OWN, ACTUAL Harvest Moon games. I don't see why they support this garbage. Natsume is slowly killing itself. Thank goodness XSeed is bringing us the ACTUAL games. The new name rolls off the tongue anyhow.

See the garbage all you Natsume loyals get to look forward to?

Thank goodness Xseed is continuing the ACTUAL series. I don't mind the name change. Story of Seasons has a nice ring to it.

And to think, this is what Natsume considers "quality". I bet they regret letting XSeed get a hold of the ACTUAL Harvest Moon series because man, it was the only thing bringing home the bacon for them. They'll tank soon enough.

I need it. I NEED IT. I might start having a panic attack if I don't have it RIGHT NOW.

Hopefully the update will make this garbage disappear.

deflates like a balloon

It's not really necessary, but it is very necessary...power is a must for Nintendo at this point.

@HylianJowi
I'm glad SOMEONE agrees with me.

Story of Seasons 4 lyf

I like how the intro is in Japanese but the rest of the presentation is in English.

@DrDingus
Hey you're not such a dang hunk after all.

For your turnips.

"Hi, we're going to steal the spotlight and hard work that the Japanese company we localized for created. We're going to promise the return to our roots for a game we previously never developed internally, aside from horrible spin-offs and an awful recent handheld game.

We own the name Harvest Moon. What's Story of Seasons? We don't know, but surely fans won't know any better because it's 2015 and Google and the internet exist. BUT LOOK, WE'RE RETURNING TO "OUR" ROOTS."

For fans of the ORIGINAL Harvest Moon games (now Story of Seasons), PLEASE don't purchase anything Natsume has tied to the name. They don't deserve it. They don't deserve the recognition.

Go with Story of Seasons.

Natsume, you're garbage.

Not only do you unsuccessfully emulate another company's idea, you fail to impress with graphics, characters and games. There's a difference between "going back to roots" and "making your game look like it was made in RPG maker".

Thank GOD XSeed has taken localization duties for Story of Seasons, the REAL Harvest Moon.

Throw your game into the pigs feeding trough. This is slop.

Art Academy: Home Studio (Wii U eShop)

I am so happy over this announcement.

Natsume is pathetic.

I find it amazing that Natsume has the balls to say the series will return to its 'roots', even though Natsume NEVER made the original games...just poorly localized them.

Natsume will NEVER get ANY of my money ever again. They're pathetic.

The only good side to this is maybe Marvelous Entertainment will see they need to make a Wii U game for XSeed to localize.

It's a miracle!

Natsume is dead to me. They no longer have my business.

XSeed gets all my money now.

Well it's about time! Let's see what they have to offer.

I'm pleased to see this did so well.

After playing Natsume's HORRIBLE attempt at the only thing keeping them alive, I'm so happy to see XSeed bring the ACTUAL series over. Natsume won't be getting another penny from me. I deleted HM:TLV from my microSD card. Story of Seasons forever!

Looking forward to getting it today. Anyone who wants to play online is free to add me. I guess I gotta get some pants on so I can go to Gamestop.

Story of Seasons comes out March 31st in the US. You can play the "REAL" Harvest Moon then! I'm done with Natsume and their garbage!

I'll be getting Mario VS DK on Wii U (then free on 3DS I suppose), look into some of the discounts, maaaaaaaybe some new Wii U/ 3DS games and a Kirby theme.

After 3 hours of trying, I finally got through.

Though I claimed my prizes...my coin balance seems to stay the same. Let's see if I actually get what I ordered...

I got the Majora's Mask puzzle and the 2016 Calender.

Majora's Mask 3D and Story of Seasons!

Lode Runner today and a physical copy of Captain Toad tomorrow!

@Tsurii897

I agree with what you said.
Nintendo, get a damn grip and see this is the type of garbage hindering the eShop.

Wario's Gold Mine and Hyrule Circuit!

I got the Luigi theme! And when you select your game or app on the home menu, with the Mario themes, a coin sound goes off!

@KingMike
Natsume just wants to stay relevant. It has nothing to do with the actual "Ranch Story" series. It's their own, and it looks AWFUL. If you want the REAL Harvest Moon, go with Story of Seasons.

Story of Seasons is also my vote. I put thousands of hours into each game.

I'd love to buy it.

Garbage. I'll be sticking with Story of Seasons. Natsume won't get another penny out of me.
