Bandai Namco producer reveals how Doraemon Story of Seasons came together

Doraemon Story of Seasons is a pretty unique collaboration, and it's certainly one fans never saw coming. In a recent Famitsu interview, Bandai Namco producer Kouji Nakajima shares details on how the project first came to be.

“I am part of the generation that grew up watching Doraemon, and after becoming an adult and a parent, I once again began to appreciate the series and wanted to spread the wonderfulness of the series with a game. Also, I’ve always liked Harvest Moon: Back to Nature, as I played it a lot. I thought it would be nice if there were a game that had the sort of gameplay in Story of Seasons where your effort is rewarded, and the messages and type of story Doraemon tells, so I created the proposal for this project. On top of that, if we were to make a Story of Seasons game, I wanted to ask Marvelous to handle development, which is how this partnership happened.”
