Bandai Namco had recently announced Doraemon Story of Seasons: Friends of the Great Kingdom as a new game making its way to Switch later this year. They’ve now given a more detailed release date for the game, at least in Japan, with the title now set to drop on November 2 in the region.
Although this is specifically the game’s release date in Japan, the game was originally revealed with a worldwide 2022 release window. As such, we can probably expect a similar Western release date to be unveiled soon.
A season pass and Digital Deluxe Edition were also announced for the game. The Season Pass will offer three packs of content, each featuring new clothing, furniture, and short scenarios, while the Digital Deluxe Edition will include the Season Pass, two special in-game seed sets and an 80-song digital soundtrack. As before, these have only been announced for Japan, but there’s not much reason for these not to release internationally either.
It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. This week, Pac-Man World Re-Pac makes its first appearance.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between July 21 and July 27.

A few months back, Nintendo Everything was invited to a personal discussion and presentation regarding Hindsight with developers Joel McDonald and Emma Kidwell, courtesy of Annapurna, which gave us a closer look at their new outing in wanting to provide a palpable and intimate story of life, its values, and the things we hold dear (and why). It was an insightful showcase that opened our eyes, and the eagerness to experience more of the protagonist Mary’s timeline of events only grew with each passing thought. Now after a three-hour playthrough before rolling credits on Hindsight, it’s arguably one of the most authentic, relatable, and well-established narratives on the topic in quite some time.
Nintendo has updated its future maintenance schedule with a new session. Later this month, the Switch eShop will be impacted for a couple of hours.
