About This Item

Inspired by tales of their grandfather’s pioneering days, the protagonist decides to pack their bags and leave the hustle and bustle of big city life for the frontier in Olive Town. When they arrive, they run into Victor, the town’s mayor and their grandfather’s old friend. He brings them to the old farm, which has been reclaimed by nature over the years. Determined to breathe life back into their grandfather’s dream and follow in his footsteps, the protagonist rolls up their sleeves and gets to work. Olive Town—which is just a stone’s throw away from the farm—is a port town built on the tip of a peninsula. It might be a quiet little town, but it is home to a whole host of unique characters. And while the townsfolk get by well enough in this picturesque seaside locale, a little more tourism never hurt anyone... The long-awaited brand new entry in the original farm/life simulation franchise, known in Japan as Bokujo Monogatari, makes its debut on Nintendo Switch, bringing players more freedom than ever before to shape an untamed wilderness and customize their farm down to the very tile. A new cast of marriage candidates, a town that grows and thrives along with your farm, and a request system highlight the new features, all while retaining the core elements of the STORY OF SEASONS series. Finding Earth Sprites while exploring your farmland may lead you to mysterious, fantastical lands such as gardens where the seasons never change, an island in the sky, or even the inside of a volcano! Capture memorable moments with your camera to share online with others as loading screens, or make use of the “tourist” system to send your farmer to other players’ towns as a sightseeing visitor.

Q: How is Olive Town described in the game's description?

A: Olive Town is described as a quiet port town situated on a peninsula, known for its picturesque seaside location.

Q: What comes with the Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town game?

A: Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town includes the full game.

Q: Which platforms are compatible with this game?

A: This game is compatible with Nintendo Switch.

Q: Will we be getting the physical copy? Or is this the digital download of the game?

A: This listing is for a physical copy! Best Buy digital purchases are pretty clearly labeled as such, and usually have [Digital] at the end of the item name.

Q: Will it include a pre-order bonus? If so, what would it be?

A: Purchasing the standard version of this game on Best Buy doesn't come with any preorder bonus. The plushie that is frequently used as a preorder bonus for Story of Seasons games is only available via the Premium Edition, not as a preorder bonus but just part of the special extra goodies (it's also available on Best Buy if you're interested in that!). Note that this answer was given on March 9, 2021, on the off chance a last-minute preorder bonus is announced (unlikely, but stranger things have happened!)
