Japanese development company Marvelous has announced that it is bringing a remake of 2003 GBA farming RPG Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town to the Nintendo Switch later this year.

As first revealed in Japanese publication Fatmisu  (as reported on and translated by Gematsu), the remake will be called Story of Seasons: Reunion of Mineral Town due to a very messy trademark situation with the game's original Harvest Moon name back in 2015, but will see the game get a full reworking to bring it bang up to date, including incorprating elements from the original game's spin off More Friends of Mineral Town that had a seperate protagonist.

There's a trailer, which we've embedded below, and Marvelous originally only gave a date of October 17 later this year for the game's release in Japan where Sega will be handling the publishing, but a later Japanese press release confirmed that the game will be coming to Europe and the US at a later time, though as of yet no publisher has been named for the Western release.
