As a long-time Story of Seasons/Harvest Moon Fan, I love these special editions and displaying the extra goodies. I especially love the little plush lamb and the art book. For collectors or people who still have CD players the soundtrack is also a nice touch (mine is still wrapped in plastic as I have no way to use it).
As far as gameplay, I am only in summer of my 1st year, but it has been fun so far. It has all of the standard aspects of a Story of Seasons game plus the Bazaar event every Saturday. Whether you are farming, foraging, fishing, or socializing focused the game will deliver what you are looking for. I love the charactwr designs, especially the bachelors/bachelorettes. I tend to sometimes forget socializing in these simulation games from being just so busy doing everything else, BUT this time around I have been talking to and gifting all of the villagers nearly every day. Time management and storage can be issues, especially leading up to the bazaar, but I think thats an expected challenge in this genre.
This is my first Switch 2 game and it runs smoothly and looks nice. Overall this is a fun installment in the series and if youre a SoS fan, the special edition adds some nice treats for collecting/displaying.

I enjoy it. It's a fun game. The graphics are good and there's more to do. If you want the Collector's Edition with all of the goodies in the box, you should buy it, but if it doesn't matter to you, I think you're just as good buying it on Nintendo eShop. I like having the box set as well because I like having a little soundtrack, and this stuffed little sheep, it's so cute. If you're into that stuff, then sure, get it. I don't think you'll regret it, but as I said, if it doesn't really matter to you, I think you're just as well getting it on Nintendo eShop.

Its way better than story of seasons: olive town, and the Bazaar mechanic is pretty fun. One thing I don't like is that when you pass out you lose a whole day, but I suppose it makes sense to do that. But other than that everything is great! The cut scenes also have full voice acting, which surprised me, but it's really cool!

As a devoted Story of Seasons fan, I’m thrilled with how incredible the Grand Bazaar Premium Edition feels on Switch 2. This isn’t just a port — it’s a full, true Switch 2 game with everything on the cartridge (no download codes or keycards!), which makes it feel premium right out of the box. The improved graphics, smoother performance, and enhanced bazaar events make farming, selling, and building relationships more immersive than ever. It’s a fantastic edition that showcases the best of the series on next-gen hardware.

I have not put Story of Seasons Grand Bazaar down yet! I loved the convenience of Best Buy pick up, the special edition box set, and the gaming experience in general. If you love cozy games or have been a fan of Harvest Moon and Story of Season, then I 100% recommend this to you. Worth the price and so many extra goods that come along with it.

I have genuinely enjoyed this game! I never played the original but I love cozy farming games and decided to go ahead and preorder. I’m glad I did and I’ve been playing it everyday since release.

As a newcomer to Story of Seasons, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this game blew me away! The core gameplay loop of farming and selling at the bazaar each week is addicting. It’s hard to put my Switch 2 down whenever I start playing, as it’s so cozy and relaxing to play in handheld mode. The visuals are so charming, and the cast of characters is fun to interact with. I’d highly recommend buying this premium edition as well. Considering all the stuff it comes with for only 20 more dollars, it’s a bargain compared to most special editions nowadays. This is one of the few true physical games on the Switch 2, so it’s a great option for collectors.

On top of being one the best Story of Seasons games so far, the Premium edition comes with a soundtrack, a small sheep plush, a fabric poster, and an artbook. I felt like this was worth the extra cost for the premium edition, there was a lot in there for only a little more money.
