~OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION~~
In the Style Savvy™: Trendsetters game, you take on the role of a budding fashion mogul, styling your way to the top of the fashion world.

Manage your own boutique and help customers find the perfect outfit by keeping up with fashion trends, stocking new clothes for your store, and customizing your shop to reflect your personality. With thousands of styles to choose from, it's up to you to build a fashion dynasty like no other!


~GAMEPLAY BASICS~~

• Shop management: use sales profit to buy inventory and build out your targeted looks. Redecorate, dress mannequins for window display, and promote your shop's style.
• Your customers: unique personalities, lighthearted mini-bios (“She became a vegetarian on a dare. She hates vegetables!&#8221, and various fashion dilemmas. Try to meet their needs within budget, or impress them enough to turn out a higher purchase.
• Yourself: customize your own look to represent your shop. Redecorate your apartment, visit the stylist, or manage contacts, plans, and messages on your cell phone.
• The city: visit the cafe, the park, downtown, and more; bump into your customers or find other fashionable types.
• Competitions: put together an ensemble to win on the catwalk. Make a name for yourself in the single-player story, or compete locally with friends.
• Miscellaneous: snap screenshots anytime and save to an SD card; AR functionality; Streetpass; online boutiques and local multiplayer (see below); Dudes

Iwata: The customers are…enemies? (laughs)
Yamagami: Yeah. And their requests regarding budget and clothes are like attacks that, as the salesperson, I have to find a way to deal with.
Iwata: That's like a fighting game! (laughs)
Yamagami: Against the attack of a customer's budget being 20,000 yen, I have to use the weapons I have on hand to satisfy that demand. So I'll look over my fashion items, and luckily there's no time limit, so I'll think awhile, turn over all sorts of possibilities, and then suggest something at the very end—as if shouting "Fire weapons!"
Iwata: You don't sell, but rather shoot. (laughs)
Everyone (laughs)

Get coordinating!

...fashionably late.

Thanks to drifter444 for some helpful links and encouragement.

 

[Kazerei]

I kinda want this, but $40 seems a bit steep. Maybe the next demo will change my mind.

 

[ImpassionateGods]

Hopefully there's not too much of an emphasis on the dudes. Men's fashion is just so utterly boring.

The men's fashions are about as prominent in the game as they are in my thread. In other words, a humorous footnote to something otherwise focused on the ladies.

But they did work to ensure the men's clothing would remain interesting enough by giving it a feminine touch:

Hattori That's right. They aren't necessarily the kinds of clothes that men themselves want to wear.
Iwata They're the kinds of clothes that a girl might want her boyfriend to wear.

 

[Foshy]

Ugh, the US box-art is really ugly.

 

[kunonabi]

I'm very close to picking this up with Layton and Theatrhythm on the Target sale. I really shouldn't though. Style Savvy problem wouldn't leave my 3DS for months.

 

[Parham]

The eShop version weighs in at about 10,500 blocks. It's times like these that make me consider getting a larger SD card.

 

[Robin64]

The EU name and box makes it all seem a bit too serious. Really surprised they didn't just slap the Touch Generations logo on there too.

Nonetheless, I really want it.

 

[hachi]

I'm not a big fan of either the NA or EU boxart. But the Japanese cover is quite beautiful.

I was also somewhat taken aback by the download size. Though the game does make smooth use of some stylistic, pre-rendered movies at key moments, and contains a gazillion items, so I suppose it's justified.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

BECAUSE YOU CAN BE FABULOUS TOO

I still can't find a copy of the game.

C'mon Play Asia, you are my only hope!

 

[frankie_baby]

Maybe I'm wring as I'm a bloke but I can see the European box and name being far better, the American one looks like its aimed at 10 year olds where as the European one would appeal to women and also to younger girls as any younger girls interested in fashion like the idea of being more mature


Anyway I'm sure my Mrs will probably want it, she wanted the original but never got round to buying it

 

[atomsk]

really wish the boxes said "from the creators of WWF No Mercy" or "Yakuza: Black Panther"

 

[mollipen]

I hate that I've had this for like two weeks now and have yet had the chance to really play it.

Also, you can call it "princess" Nintendo of America, but we all know its real name!

 

[Boney]

japanese box is best box

sigh, haven't seen it around here so I guess I'm gonna have to go digital

 

[XANDER CAGE]

I...

want to play this.

 

[SebastianAlexander]

is there a scan available of the japanese boxart? I like it the most of all of them and want to print it out for my copy of the game

 

[SebastianAlexander]

oh how boring, why didn't they use the holes for some fashion-stuff?

 

[Hours Left]

Mmmmmm, dudes.

Their existence ensures my (eventual) purchase.

 

[dreamfall]

So goooood! Beautiful OT banner!

I'm going to pick it up this week during the Target sale. The demo was fab!

 

[Boney]

I need me some SS artwork

 

[Terrell]

But they did work to ensure the men's clothing would remain interesting enough by giving it a feminine touch:

2 things: it's a shame that there wasn't a larger focus on the male side. It discourages my purchase because of that. Also, I would wear that if the vest was a darker color, but I'll be damned if I would do that to my hair.

 

[@MUWANdo]

The weird Bratz faces are somehow even creepier on the newer, more realistically-proportioned models than they were on the old ones.

 

[DanteRavenkin]

While this isn't my type of game, I just wanted to say that that is an impressive OT. Very well done!

 

[mollipen]

I'm going to end up having way too much fun with taking photos in the game.

I do wish that there was an option for male characters, so that guys who want to play the game would feel like they're welcome to. It's such an odd situation—usually I'm arguing about inclusion in games because of no choice for female characters, and here I'm presented with the opposite. *heh*

 

[hachi]

Regarding the Shop Codes (and post them when you have them), indications are that the EU and NA regions can share codes, but not with Japan. So anyone here importing or playing the (J) version may not be able to interact with the rest of us online.

 

[Vamphuntr]

I played the demo and I was really bad at it. Someone else mentionned in the other thread that the shop running aspect was cool so I might buy this eventually when it's cheaper. Deal breaker will be if you can play as a guy.

 

[rpmurphy]

Definitely picking this up when I have the time. I skipped out on the first one, but it's been on my radar for a while.

 

[nmanma]

I hope the lack of male playable character doesn't chase away too many people. It's a great game once you get over playing a female character. Wrote a minireview in the 3ds recommendation thread thread if anyone is interested

I have four brands more to unlock but already got the ones that interested me. The problem is that Zhade is way too expensive, will have to gather some money before maining that brand

I'm going to end up having way too much fun with taking photos in the game.

Why am I so pretty?

This guy is the best, had me laughing through all the contests I've been through (just 2, but still)

 

[Currygan]

gotta love Dexter on the american cover


never played a game like this, but the amount of content and the shop managing part have me interested

 

[drifter444]

It's finally here! Thanks hachi.

Curious! Subscribed!

tap the notes button to remove the location and date from your screenshots, like so.

 

[Mr.LightMan]

Really enjoyed the demo, will try and get it sometime this week.

 

[patrickthehedgehog]

I'm a little worried about there being enough real variety with the fashions and fashion shows seem mostly focused on if you use the recommended brand for the theme in the contests. Can anyone who owns the full game speak on these matters?

Don't know much about the fashion shows but in day to day sales brands aren't the only factor.

There are different tastes (pop, girly, luxury, etc) and each brand focuses on one, but there is crosstalk at the item and customer level. For example Cantata branded hats are marked as feminine, but can also work as bold or luxurious (bold and edgy are related too in my experience). If a customer wants luxury stuff but you have none, you can make do with Cantata. And there was this regular customer I had that always bought preppy items but now wanted bold clothing, so I mixed the few items of the bold brand I had with preppy stuff to make a full outfit and completed the sale

There seems to be antagonistic tastes and brands, I had made a bold outfit but didn't have bold socks or bags to complete it as I wanted, so I picked a bag and a pair of socks of the basic brand and got rejected, removed them and got the sale

Color is a factor too, there was this new customer that wanted a feminine vest. I had all kinds of outerwear in stock but none of the vests were feminine, so from previous experiences I was ready to give up. Then I noticed that her hat, handbag, shoes and coat were all pink, so I offered a pink girly vest and managed to save the sale (I usually get rejected when someone asks for elegant and I offer girly, so it was a surprise)

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Why am I so pretty?

I like your style.

 

[patrickthehedgehog]

Post more styles plz~

It's never as easy as the fashion show demo, because you don't just have an open palette of items to work with. You are restricted to your shop's inventory, which is something you'll have to carefully build in order to handle various styles and looks. You are also very often limited by specific needs in the case of customers, and may be required to build a compelling outfit using an item they already have on, etc.

 

[Hcoregamer00]

I really want to buy the game but the price is too high for me. It is not my cup of tea, but I am willing to support it and buy it if the price was a little lower.

Thanks for the sweet pics and info on the game. I'm kind of surprised how much I was able to do with just the stuff from the demo. Wish you could take pics in the demo...

 

[Boney]

2nd demo is out this thursday no?

teehee gonna be all giddy telling my friend about it on her party

 

[EulaCapra]

Props for making an OT! Love this game although I wish there was an option on the main menu to have a quick fashion show like in the demo to compete with three other CPU stylists. My friends and family were secretly addicted to the demo, but I don't want them ruining my save data and the quick style one is not as competitive.

Fantastic photos you have there; good question about snagging a full shot of your character. I feel confident that there must be an opportunity, but none come to mind.

I want this game. *_*

 

[dwu8991]

NOE cover box is so classy !!!

 

[lordfroakie]

How are you guys sharing pics?

 

[Deleted member 20920]

How are you guys sharing pics?

There an export to memory card option in the in game photo album.

 

[patrickthehedgehog]

First thing's first. Hi there, my husbando. Too cute!

Stay far away from Mint Sprinkle unless you wanna look like a damned clown!

Well, maybe we can work with it. That's me on the left.

Anyway, back to browsing gaf!
