Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley and Skytree Village coming to Nintendo Switch
Not one, but two classic Harvest Moon games have been announced for Nintendo Switch with The Lost Valley and Skytree Village on the way as part of Natsume’s Cozy Bundle. They’ll be available this summer.
Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley and Skytree Village previously debuted on Nintendo 3DS. For the Nintendo Switch versions, both games will be included on a single cartridge and with all DLC.
Below are overviews for both games:
Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley
Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley released on Nintendo 3DS in 2014. Hiking your way through the mountains one day, you become caught in an unexpected snowstorm and are able to find shelter with the help of a faint voice. When you awaken, you find and help a kindly Harvest Sprite buried under the snow, who tells you all of the seasons in the valley have vanished except for winter. To return all four seasons to the valley, you’ll need the help of the villagers, the Harvest Sprites, the Harvest Goddess, and even the King of the Underworld!
Key Features
- Plant crops and raise animals, such as cows, chickens, and sheep!
- Customize the land in a fully 3D setting – dig, stack and build any way you like!
- Unlock the full potential of all seven Harvest Sprites, the Harvest Goddess, and Harvest God!
- Foster relationships with the locals!

Harvest Moon: Skytree Village
Harvest Moon: Skytree Village launched on Nintendo 3DS in 2016. Times have changed in the land known as the Oasis of the Harvest Goddess. Many people used to live in Skytree Village, and the land was lush and green. However, the power of the Harvest Goddess gradually began to wane, and the land became parched and dry. It’s up to you to revive the seven Skytrees in order to give the Harvest Goddess her power back, and, in turn, bring life back to this desolate land!
