Doraemon Story of Seasons[a] is a farming simulationrole-playing video game for Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows which is a crossover of the Story of Seasons series of video games and the Doraemon franchise. The game is developed by Brownies and Marvelous and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The title's release marks the first release of a Doraemon video game to the western audience.
The game was released on June 13, 2019 in Japan, and was released internationally on October 11, 2019.
Plot[edit]
After planting a mysterious seed found by Nobita, Doraemon and friends are transported to another world, into a place called Shizen Town. During the process, Doraemon lost most of his secret gadgets that will help them to return. In the end, they decided to stay in Shizen Town while trying to find a way to get back to their original world. Lunch, a Shizen Town resident, lends Nobita a farm in town for him to stay.[2][3]
Gameplay[edit]
The game combines the farming simulation elements from the Story of Seasons series and the familiar characters and secret gadgets from the Doraemon series.[4] The player will play as Nobita and participate in farming activities such as plowing the fields to grow crops, taking care of cattle and sheep, and more.[5] The game also has a fishing system, a house decoration system, an insects capture-and-collect system, holidays and festivals similar to the Story of Seasons games.[6]
Characters from the Doraemon series such as Giant and Shizuka also show up as supporting characters and will assist Nobita in his adventures.[7] By advancing the story, Nobita can unlock usable Doraemon gadgets that grant special abilities such as Weather Cards which can change tomorrow's weather and the Anywhere Door which allows Nobita to fast-travel between areas.[8]
Demo[edit]
A demo of the game is downloadable, and allows the user to play until a certain date, where it will then show a screen saying “Thanks for playing”. Only the very beginning of the entire fame is compromised, and the rest is playable until that certain date.
Development[edit]
In an interview with Famitsu, it is revealed that Doraemon Story of Seasons was a proposal from Bandai Namco producer Kenji Nakajima to Marvelous, as he is a fan of Marvelous’ Story of Seasons series. He grew up while watching Doraemon, and he is also a fan of the Harvest Moon: Back to Nature game. He wants to create a game that lets players experience the messages and type of story Doraemon tells, with the gameplay elements of Story of Seasons that properly reward the player's efforts.[9]
He also confirmed that the game will not have any romance or marriage features, which is different from the classic Story of Seasons series. In exchange for this, the game will feature a linear story with a focus on familial love. There are also multiple sub-stories that will also be related to familial love, such as between siblings or for family pets. There are many family-run shops in town with its own sub-story that will be connected to the relationship system. The theme of familial love is explored further as Nobita's friends such as Shizuka and Giant are helping out at the stores.[10]
During the interview, Story of Seasons production director Hikaru Nakano also revealed that Marvelous is also working on another Story of Seasons game simultaneously, and Doraemon Story of Seasons will help to expand the Story of Seasons series even further.[11]

The game was first announced during a Nintendo Direct presentation on February 14, 2018 in Japan accompanied by a teaser trailer featuring basic gameplay.[12] Bandai Namco announced the official release date of June 13, 2019 though a press release in April.[13] A downloadable demo for Nintendo Switch was later released in Japan in May along with a new trailer.[14]
