In 2017, Story of Seasons (otherwise known as Bokujou Monogatari) will be celebrating its 20th anniversary. Marvelous has now opened a special website for its Japanese audience here.

Bokujou Monogatari was previously known as Harvest Moon in the west. However, after Harvest Moon 3D: A New Beginning, the series switched names to Story of Seasons, and was directly handled by Marvelous / XSEED in territories outside of Japan.

Natsume always held the rights to the Harvest Moon name, and started making its own farming titles beginning in 2014 with Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley. The company will also be bringing out Harvest Moon: Skytree Village later this year.

Puzzle & Dragons X debuted in Japan last week. Between July 28 and July 31, the game sold around 87,000 copies. Media Create does’t have any extra data, but Dengeki did post a few extra tidbits.

Puzzle & Dragons X came in two versions. The split was 45,000 copies for the “God Chapter” version and 42,000 units for “Dragon Chapter”. The sell-through rate was roughly 45 percent.

Unfortunately, Puzzle & Dragons X struggled mightily when compared to the 2013 predecessor Puzzle & Dragons X. That game saw sales of 1.53 million copies, so the point we are looking here would be how far this one can capture potential users.
