XSEED Games announced today that Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town has become the company’s fastest-selling title to reach 100,000 units on a single platform in North America. That goal was reached within one week after its launch on July 14. Story of Seasons on 3DS was the previous record holder.
That’s not the only good news from XSEED, as Rune Factory 4 Special has also surpassed 100,000 copies sold. That was accomplished in less than five months in North America.

[Review] Rune Factory 4 Special
Posted on 4 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: February 25, 2020
Developer: Marvelous
Publisher: XSEED Games
It’s been nearly a decade and a half since Rune Factory made its debut as a more action RPG-focused spin-off of Harvest Moon, but the series has been dormant for quite some time. While we wait for Rune Factory 5, Rune Factory 4 Special brings the beloved franchise to Switch to ease people in. It’s every bit of great as you remember it to be on the 3DS, and in fact, outside of having one less screen available, it essentially carries with it the same content and style from 2012. This keeps things nostalgic and familiar, but also shows off its age.

XSEED explains why it took so long for Rune Factory 4 Special to debut in North America and Europe
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Rune Factory 4 Special originally came out in Japan last July. Meanwhile, North America and Europe are getting the game at the end of next month. Some fans have been wondering why the wait has been so long, especially given that Rune Factory 4 did previously see an English release on 3DS. In a blog post, XSEED explained the situation.
A lot of factors were involved in the new release of Rune Factory 4 Special. XSEED pointed to a change in localization programming tools since the 3DS days, needing to review the entire script, the addition of French and German text, support for dual Japanese and English audio, and fixing other issues and bugs.
