Natsume has pulled back the curtain on a couple of special bundles on the way for Harvest Moon: Skytree Village. Both will be up for pre-order on the Natsume Amazon Store in the near future.

The two bundles are as follows:

Harvest Moon: Skytree Village Bluebird Bundle

For a suggested retail price of $39.99 USD, players will receive a retail copy of Harvest Moon: Skytree Village with a limited edition 5″ plush Bluebird. Now have your very own source of Blue Feathers!

Harvest Moon: Skytree Village Premium Bobcat Bundle

For a suggested retail price of $49.99, fans will receive a retail copy of Harvest Moon: Skytree Village with a premium 12″ Bobcat. This is the purr-fect pet!

A Harvest Moon: Skytree Village Limited Edition was also previously announced. It’s a NIS America Store exclusive without a plush, but it has its own unique bonuses. Learn more about it here.

Thanks to GameFly, we now have the boxart for River City: Tokyo Rumble. You can see what it looks like above.

Originally, River City: Tokyo Rumble was going to be digital-only. Natsume ended up opting for a “limited edition physical release” following fan feedback.

Update: Added new screenshots to the post.


Original: Natsume has sent out some new assets for River City: Tokyo Rumble detailing some of the game’s characters. Find art below, along with their descriptions.

KUNIO – Kunio seeks to take back Tokyo from the massive Lion Alliance gang. Kunio is a thug with a heart of gold who looks out for his pals and fights for justice.

RIKI – A misunderstanding with Kunio roped Riki into the fray. Riki fights for justice, but when he gets really mad, he snaps and goes berserk.

MISAKO – Misako frowns on delinquents, but makes an exception for Kunio.

SHINJI – Shinji went to school with Riki and is older, so he expects to be respected. He demands respect from his lowerclassmen, with fists if necessary!

MISUZU – Physically huge, Misuzu intimidates people and has a tough personality to match. Treat this delicate flower like a lady, or she’ll introduce you to her fists!

RANDY – Returning from River City Ransom, twins Randy and Andy make up the Double Dragons!

SABU – Gunning for revenge against Kunio, who previously humiliated the Sanwa Gang. Fans of Renegade should remember this bad guy!

TEX – Usually easygoing, until something gets him riled. Then he turns nasty! Watch out for his spin attack!

TIGER CLAW – The younger of the Double Tigers wrestling brothers!

Natsume is introducing one of the new animals that will be included in Harvest Moon: Skytree Village. In the game, players will be able to raise the Poitou Donkey.

Here’s the official description:

“The Poitou Donkey is a new animal available to raise in Harvest Moon: Skytree Village! These aren’t pack animals – they’re shearing animals, like sheep! If you found someone who could tailor, they might make a new outfit for you…”

Harvest Moon: Skytree Village is slated for late 2016 in North America. Europe will have it in Q1 2016 thanks to Rising Star Games.

Natsume confirmed River City: Tokyo Rumble’s localization in April. Since then, the publisher has been sticking to a “Summer” release window – until recently.

Today, Natsume put out a tweet which reveals River City: Tokyo Rumble North American launch window of September. On top of that, retailers may give a clue about a specific date. Play-Asia flat-out claims that River City: Tokyo Rumble is scheduled for September 13. And interestingly enough, GameFly has the same date.

At the very least, River City: Tokyo Rumble is coming in September. September 13 could be the final date. Note that the game will be seeing a limited physical run in North America, but will be digital-only in Europe.

NIS America is teaming up with Natsume to release a limited edition for Harvest Moon: Skytree Village later this year. Those who purchase the package will receive a copy of the game, Collector’s Box, 44-page softcover art book in full color, original soundtrack with jewel case, six lapel pin set, and a blue feather rubber strap keychain.

Pre-orders are up on the NIS America store here. Pricing is set at $49.99.

Natsume prepared a bunch of screenshots from River City: Tokyo Rumble following the game’s E3 appearance last week. We have them in the gallery below, along with a couple of pieces of character art and a fact sheet.

Natsume has released the first official screenshots and art from Harvest Moon: Skytree Village. Additionally, a fact sheet has been distributed. We have all of that in the gallery below.

Later this year, Natsume will be bringing out Harvest Moon: Skytree Village. It’s the second game in the series following the split with Marvelous over the Bokujo Monogatari titles, which Natsume previously localized. Harvest Moon now refers to the games that Natsume makes internally.

Polygon spoke with Natsume vice president of operations Graham Markay about Skytree Valley at E3 last week and the franchise as a whole. He commented on how the series is constantly evolving, the divide with Story of Seasons, and more.

Head past the break for some of Markay’s responses. You can read Polygon’s full article here.
