Harvest Moon: Back to Nature is a 1999 video game in the farm simulation series Story of Seasons developed by Victor Interactive Software and published outside of Japan by Natsume. It is the first Harvest Moon game for a non-Nintendo console. Characters from Harvest Moon 64 were transferred to be the characters in this game, although with new lifestyles, personalities, and relatives.
A version featuring a female protagonist, Harvest Moon for Girl, was released in Japan on December 7, 2000. In 2005, Harvest Moon: Back to Nature was coupled and ported as Harvest Moon: Boy & Girl for the PlayStation Portable. In 2008, Marvelous Interactive released Harvest Moon: Back to Nature and Harvest Moon for Girl for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable via the PlayStation Network.
This game was remade as the Game Boy Advance games Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town and Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town, both of which would later get a remake of their own for the Nintendo Switch under the name Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town.
