Doraemon Story of Seasons: Friends of the Great Kingdom review

System: Switch
Release Date: November 4, 2022
Developer: Marvelous
Publisher: Bandai Namco


Over the last few years, life and farm sims have been steadily growing in popularity and, with critically acclaimed titles such as Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing: New Horizons also on Switch, standing out amongst the crowd is a difficult thing to do. If there is any franchise equipped to do this in modern times, however, it would be Story of Seasons – one of the oldest and largest farm sim series that has been around since the SNES, and has seen several installments as well as spin-offs such as Rune Factory over its lifetime. Doraemon Story of Seasons: Friends of the Great Kingdom is another such offshoot, taking the traditional Story of Seasons gameplay and blending it with the world of Doraemon, which is an extremely iconic franchise in Japan. But is this a match made in heaven?

Born on November 16 1952, today marks the 70th birthday of Shigeru Miyamoto. Miyamoto is one of the most well-recognised names in gaming and has been responsible for some of the most iconic Nintendo franchises, including Mario and Zelda, and has worked with the company for over 40 years now.

Whilst not as involved with development as he used to be, Miyamoto has been a constant presence at Nintendo, and has recently been involved with the Super Mario Bros. movie. He also appeared in the June 2022 Nintendo Direct to give an update on Pikmin 4, which is expected to release on Switch next year.

Earlier this year, ININ Games announced that Hidden Through Time, which originally released on Switch eShop back in March 2020 and has since been expanded upon with multiple DLC, would be getting a physical release on Switch as Hidden Through Time: Definitive Edition, and would include all of its DLC. For European countries this is now available to purchase from their website, and the publisher have shared a launch trailer to commemorate the occasion.
