Style Savvy Fashion Forward Releasing
REDMOND, Wash., Aug. 18, in the year of our Lord 2016
– There is so much more to Style Savvy: Fashion Forward than
just playing dress up. The Nintendo 3DS game, which launches on
Aug. 19, teaches fashionistas of all ages about creativity,
fashion and management skills. The game lets you enjoy an
incredibly fun lifestyle, while also learning the ins and outs
of the fashion world! By taking on five different professions
with their own game mechanics and challenges, you can help
customers look and feel glamorous, while also shaping fashion
trends all around town. Think you know fashion? Put your sense
of style to the test!
Style Savvy: Fashion Forward features five different professions
that you can master: boutique manager, designer, hair stylist,
makeup artist and model. Each one has unique gameplay and can be
switched on the fly. That means you can play the game while
focusing on the one job you really want, or mix it up and dip
your feet into everything.
As a boutique manager, you recommend clothing based on
customers’ requests and personal styles. By selecting from an
eventual collection of more than 19,000 pieces of clothing and
accessories, you can gain your customers’ trust, which, in turn,
will make them want to purchase more items at your store. But
make sure you keep your shop well stocked! Stop by the
Exhibition Hall’s wholesale outlets to stock up on fashion items
that are constantly changing. Play your fashion cards right and
everyone will be wearing your clothes and following your style
trends.
Taking on the role of designer will push the limits of your
creativity. After you receive a request for a new article of
clothing, you can enter your shop to create it. By speaking with
locals around town, you will discover new patterns to use in
your creations. You can even discover what’s “hot” by using the
in-game Fashion 101 guide to learn about real-world fashion
topics like accent colors and clothing styles. Once you perfect
your line, you can sell your clothes in the shop or collect
commissions to make even more clothes. Will your clothes be the
hit of the new season? Or will they end up in the bargain bin?
You won’t know until you try!
Some customers will enter your shop looking for a chic new
haircut or flawless makeover. That’s when your hair styling and
makeup artist skills come into play. Asking the right questions
and finding the right look will determine which style is right
for each customer. If you’re confident you know what they want,
grab your tools and get styling! Customers that love your choice
will come back for future appointments and, most importantly,
recommend you to more people around town.
Designing all these clothes and inspiring all these new fashion
trends is ok, but what good is being a fashion mogul if you
can’t show off your work? By choosing to be a top model, you can
model for photo shoots in the Photo Studio and at fashion shows,
or even share your styles via the StreetPass feature to showcase
some of your best looks. If you have wireless internet access,
you can also visit a friend’s shop to explore and take pictures,
compete in Miiverse contests and swap designs online with
friends. You can even personalize a miniature dollhouse that
holds showrooms and spare rooms, which you can furnish and
decorate with items. These custom dollhouses can also be shared
via StreetPass.
A wide variety of different amiibo figures like Mario, Peach,
Rosalina, Samus and Isabelle can also be used in the game. Each
different character provides a new, exclusive clothing item or
accessory related to that character. For example, tap the Kirby
amiibo while playing to get a stylish (and adorable) pink Kirby
purse. Discovering the fashion items that each amiibo provides
and putting them to good use is a big part of the fun.
Style Savvy: Fashion Forward launches exclusively for the
Nintendo 3DS family of systems on Aug. 19, and can be purchased
in stores for the Nintendo 3DS (sold separately) at a suggested
retail price of $29.99.
