Harvest Moon, released in 1996 in Japan, is the first game in the long-running Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons series. It was an influential early entry in the farming/life sim genre.
It was one of the last major releases for the SNES, postdating the local release of the Nintendo 64 in every region the game was sold. As such, it was produced in relatively small numbers in some regions, while in others it wasn't released at all.
Versions
- Original Japanese release Bokujō Monogatari (SHVC-AYWJ-JPN). Released August 6, 1996. Published by Pack-In-Video.
- North American release (SNS-AYWE-USA). Released June 17, 1997. Published by Natsume, Inc.
- European release (SNSP-AYWP-EUR). PAL, English text. Released January 29, 1998. Published by Nintendo.
- Released in France, Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg with a different box and manual (SNSP-AYWP-NFAH). No additional in-game languages.
- Apparently released in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden by Bergsala AB (code unknown).
- There are old images online of boxes purporting to be a UK version, with unique code SNSP-AYWP-NUKV, and MobyGames also lists a UK and Ireland release. However, no contemporary British coverage or advertising has so far been found; if the game was ever released in the UK, it did so with little to no promotion.
- German release (SNSP-AYWD-NOE). PAL, localised in German. Released in Germany, Austria and Switzerland on January 29, 1998.
- Australia/New Zealand release (SNSP-AYWP-AUS). Presumably identical to the European release. Released some time in 1988. Published by Nintendo Australia.
- This cartridge has a unique green label containing the Japanese cover art.
