My excitement was through the roof. The anticipation for this launch was killing me. Then I got it. Rune Factory 5. In my hands, on my Switch. With roughly 10 years since the last Rune Factory game I was excited to see what the development team had in for us. With a more powerful console, we would get a superior product, right? Well, let's dive in.

When I found out that Harvest Moon I mean Story of Seasons was coming to Xbox I was overjoyed. Even though Story of Seasons carries a different name it's still the same farming game I grew up loving as a kid. Although Natsume got to keep the "Harvest Moon" name, when I loaded Story of Seasons Friends of Mineral Town on Xbox it brought me back to my childhood. Story of Seasons Friends of Mineral Town is a remake of the Harvest Moon game with minor tweaks. Some of the characters had their names changed, but as a Harvest Moon fan you will pick this up really ...

Remakes on the Nintendo Switch have become incredibly popular, and the team at Marvelous (Europe and Australia) and XSeed (North America) have worked with the development team to bring this remastered classic to the west. Friends of Mineral Town was LOVED by fans when it was originally released back on the GameBoy Advanced, as it hearkens back to the hay-days of when Harvest Moon was a solid franchise. With a new name, the game is looking for a second lease on life with the Nintendo Switch, pulling in longtime fans and new players in the process. But does it ...

We’ve been playing Doraemon Story of Seasons for two weeks now, and have thoroughly enjoyed our time in Natura, engaging with the various citizens, solving problems, and working on finding a way back to the present. We ran over the setting up of the story in our Story of Seasons Prologue article, so be sure to read that – now we dive into the nitty gritty of this experience, and spoilers…it’s really good!

Daemon X Machina was perhaps the biggest surprise of Nintendo’s E3 Direct. It was a game we had never heard of before and knew zero about. The brief teaser yesterday during the Direct didn’t really tell us much. We knew it was a game involving mechs but not much else. Live Gameplay was shown during today’s Treehouse Live! Check out the gameplay (via Nintendo Everything) and then please come back here for my impressions of Daemon X Machina. At first…

My farm in Story of Seasons continues to be prosperous, and I figured I would post a short update on what has been going on in Autumn Year 1. I've planted new crops, grown my flock of chickens, and invested in fish hacheries. So far, it has been a great season.

Story of Seasons gets better and better. A lot of great things happened in Summer Year 1 which just added to my excitement for this game. I had new crops to plant, new routines to follow, and new traders available. Summer Year 1 was very successful for myself, and my farm did really well.

Fantasy Farming simulators isn't just about the economy. They have always been loaded with house upgrades and tool upgrades. Story of Seasons is no different. In this final diary entry for Spring, we will look at the improvements I've made around my farm.

Life off the farm is almost as important as life on the farm. Although I assume I'll do this less when I have tons of crops to deal with, I made sure to make daily dives in the three swimming areas currently available to me. Although I don't have a fishing pole yet, I cannot see Story of Seasons keeping me from my favorite past time; at least not for too long.
