Marvelous is working with Nintendo to include Mario costumes in Story of Seasons: Good Friends of Three Villages. However, that’s not the only collaboration planned for the game. This week’s Famitsu also reveals that a Hamtaro collaboration will be added to the game.

Story of Seasons: Good Friends of Three Villages will feature Hamtaro as one of the available pets. Kurumi Mamiya, the character’s voice actress, will reprise her role. Creator Ritsuko Kawai also signed off on the collaboration.

Aside from that, Famitsu confirms that Dessie and Witchie are being brought back for the game. We also know that a new fairy will appear.

We’ll have the new Story of Seasons: Good Friends of Three Villages scans tomorrow. For now, here’s a sneak peek of Famitsu’s coverage:

Monster Hunter Stories was announced almost a year ago. Capcom now seems to be wrapping up its work on the game, as a release date could be coming very soon. Series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto said during a talk show event at Machi Asobi recently that he hopes to be able to announce news on this front by the month. He also said that it’s being made as a mainstream RPG.

Fans asked Tsujimoto about topics like Elder Dragons appearing, if we’ll be seeing new monsters in the game, and potential link features with Monster Hunter Generations. Unfortunately though, he wouldn’t divulge answers to any of these questions for now.
