Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar is launching a Nintendo Switch 2 edition to accompany the previously revealed Switch and PC versions. In fact, there will be two editions, as Marvelous is set to release the standard and Premium Editions in physical form for both Nintendo systems on August 27. Similar to other recently unveiled multiplatform titles like Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, the Switch 2 editions will be priced $10 more than the Switch and PC versions. You can preorder the Switch 2 and Switch editions at Amazon and Best Buy.
Grand Bazaar is a remake of the 2008 Nintendo DS game by the same title. Unveiled during a Nintendo Direct in March, Story of Seasons appears to offer another enjoyable experience in the farming/life simulation genre thanks to enhanced graphics, a new mode of transport via the wind glider, a cast of fresh characters and storyline events, as well as complete voice acting for the first time in the series’ history.
The standard edition of Story of Seasons: Huge Bazaar is available for $50 for the Nintendo Switch and $60 for the Nintendo Switch 2. If you decide to buy the Switch version and later wish to upgrade, you can acquire the Switch 2 version through the eShop for an additional $10. Just make sure to keep your Switch cartridge accessible, as it must be inserted into your console to access the Switch 2 version—similar to the procedure currently required for PS5 and Xbox Series X.
Physical pre-orders of the Nintendo Switch version can be made at Amazon and Best Buy, while digital pre-orders are also open on the Switch eShop and Steam.
Story of Seasons: Huge Bazaar – Premium Edition
Story of Seasons was formerly known as Harvest Moon, which can be a bit misleading since Harvest Moon titles are still being released today. When Marvelous took over distribution duties in North America from Natsume years ago, the name had to change because Natsume still owned the “Harvest Moon” rights. Therefore, if you are a long-time fan of Harvest Moon and want to return to its charming universe, you should look for Story of Seasons.
More Farming/Life Sims for Nintendo Switch & Switch 2
Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma features a comparable Earth Dancer Premium Edition available for pre-order, but it is only accessible for the standard Switch, so you might need to purchase an upgrade via the eShop to access the Switch 2 edition. A standard edition for Switch 2 is available for pre-order in physical format. Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma will be launched on June 5, giving you ample time to enjoy the more action-focused farming/life sim before Huge Bazaar’s release on August 27.
Numerous Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons titles have been released over the past few years. If you’re looking for something to pass the time before Guardians of Azuma and Huge Bazaar launch, here’s a look at some physical editions of games within the Story of Seasons, Harvest Moon, and Rune Factory franchises that you can buy for the Nintendo Switch.
