Harvest Moon 64 Joins Nintendo Switch Online Today

The Unforgettable Farming Game is Back!

Burlingame, CA., December 7, 2023 – Natsume Inc., a worldwide developer and publisher of family-oriented video games, today announced Harvest Moon 64, originally released on the Nintendo 64 in 1999, is now available on Nintendo Switch Online (NSO)*. This highly anticipated reveal was announced alongside other classic Nintendo titles joining the curated library in today's NSO video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIgQ9NFJtzU

Harvest Moon introduced the concept of a friendly, combat-free farming simulation to the world of video games, creating a new genre that continues to grow and resonate with players around the world. As a young farmer, the player inherited their grandfather's unmaintained farm and was given a little over two years to restore it to its former glory.

Retire to the country for a new challenge in Harvest Moon 64. Hard work is rewarded as you struggle to bring prosperity back to a neglected farm. Work the land, pick up odd jobs, and get to know the neighbors.

  • Tons of seasonal vegetables and fruits
  • Raise cows, chicken, and sheep
  • New items and gifts, including tools that increase in power as you master them
  • Celebrate seasonal festivals with the nearby townsfolk
