The ''Story of Seasons'' video game series was originally produced by Victor Interactive Software (acquired by Marvelous Interactive in 2002), with Natsume handling the English translation and distribution in North America. The series debuted in Japan on August 9, 1996 with , which later was released in the North American and PAL regions as ''Harvest Moon''.〔 ''Story of Seasons'' is a series of farm simulation/role-playing video games where the main objective is to maintain a farm over a period of time, tending the crops and livestock throughout the seasons, while befriending the nearby townsfolk and getting married in some games. ''Story of Seasons'' titles have been released on numerous different video game consoles and handheld game consoles. Several titles have been re-released on multiple platforms as special editions which include an updated gameplay.〔 Thirteen spin-off titles have been released, featuring related elements. One of these titles, ''Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon'', was released to mark the 10th anniversary of the ''Story of Seasons'' series.〔 One reason the ''Story of Seasons'' series has remained popular is because of the unchanged core system of the games. According to Yasuhiro Wada, ''Story of Seasons'' lead designer, it has been the development team's response to the audience's requests which have allowed the series to maintain its popularity. Due to Natsume keeping the rights to the ''Harvest Moon'' name when Marvelous decided to have their own American division, XSEED Games, take over North American distribution, the latest title in the series had to change its name to ''Story of Seasons''〔http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/05/28/harvest-moon-returns-in-story-of-seasons-on-3ds〕 while Natsume took the opportunity to start making their own "''Harvest Moon''" games starting with ''Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley''. This has caused some degree of confusion.〔http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/06/natsume_announces_harvest_moon_the_lost_valley_for_a_2014_release_on_3ds〕 ==Main series== | canceled= | refs= |release= 1996—Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Super Famicom)〔 2008—Virtual Console〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Harvest Moon (Virtual Console) - Game Profile )〕 | notes= *Known in Japan as 〔 *It was also released online via the Satellaview system for the Super Famicom }} |refs= |release= 1999—PlayStation〔 2008—PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable (PlayStation Network) |notes= *Known in Japan as * On December 24, 2008 ''Bokujō Monogatari Harvest Moon'' was released in Japan for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable via the PlayStation Network〔 * In 2011 ''Back to Nature'' was released in North America for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable via the PlayStation Network }} | canceled= | refs= | release= 2005—GameCube〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2008-04-26 )〕 2008—Wii | notes= * Originally released in Japan as * Also known as ''Harvest Moon: Poem of Happiness'' 〔 * A worldwide edition of ''Bokujō Monogatari: Shiawase no Uta'' was released later in 2005, featuring extra add-ins.〔 It was released in English language countries as ''Harvest Moon: Magical Melody'' and known in Japan as * Released for Wii in 2008 for PAL Region Territories and in 2009 for North America }} }} 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Story of Seasons video games」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
