Game Review: New Style Boutique
Game: New Style Boutique [PAL Version]Style Savvy: Trendsetters [NTSC Version]
Wagamama Fashion: Girls Mode Yokubari Sengen [Japanese Version]
Girls Style: Fashion Leader Decolration [Korean Version]
Played on: 3DS
Console: 3DS
Price: $18 - $30
Genre: Simulation
Contains: Fashion Simulator but it seems each version is different, character wise, so I will express what the PAL version has. Excuse the bad images, I used my phone.
Basically
You are the main protagonist, new in the big city and you peer into a
window and at a beautifully dressed manequin. The shop owner, Evie spots you and asks if you like to try it, once you open the door for her. This slowly esculates as you somehow manage to get hired by her. Eventually, she leaves and you become the manager of her old Boutique. You take it and make it your own but this is just the beginning of something great.
Mizu's Thoughts
Alright, this game is a great time waster and really has no major plot after you finish the main circuit of Fashion Contests.
so, being a fan of the first game, I took this game on board as it has added in more things that the first one lacked, such as choosing clothes for Men. I enjoy this game cause it gives me something to do at times where I can't dedicate full attention to games.

There is a story but it sorta gets lost amongst the actual game and you forget what you are even doing, besides setting up a successful boutique and entering Fashion Contests.
Basically, you become manager of a store, you make friends with other NPC characters, get involved with their lives and eventually become the best stylist/boutique manager/friend out there. There is no romance from what I have seen, unless you count the NPC's.

The mechanics are simple and relies on paying attention to customers needs and choosing the right thing to say at times. It also relies on the use of touchscreen and that's pretty much it.
The only con is that when choosing certain selections, it can get confusing, cause sometimes you don't see the difference between Chic and Feminine clothing, besides the price tag.
The nice additions to the game would be the ability to dress up Men with their own clothes range. Renovate the store to promote the look of the clothes you offer. New make-up and hair choices for the main character and of course, more clothes and fashion lines for the player to sell and wear.

The Visual is simple and the most detail is spent on the characters which are as unique as the next. Very few look alike but their fashion style and personality sets them apart.
The music, in my opinion, is not that great and can rub the nerves raw after a while, so I usually mute it or listen to my iPod, so I have that variety that the game lacks.

Pros: Great time wasting game, cute fashion and unique.
Cons: The music is annoying as hell and needs the storyline more visible and less buried.

ConclusionIt's a great game, good for those times where you want something to do that is not very time consuming and It's cute and simple. Great for all ages.
Score ★★★★☆
