Finally, guys.

I wouldn't laugh at this. Nintendo is once again building for the strong female userbase worldwide. Where is Sony's response? Can they afford to forget about this demographic or are they banking on Vita Sackboy being enough?

Did Style Savvy sell well on DS? In Japan it was almost million seller, IIRC.
I think this software can do very well among young girls since I don't see many cheaper alternatives elsewhere.

Was there ever any? Sony never indicated they are interested in marketing their products towards women.

It did at least 300K in the US, slightly more in Europe.

BTW, Style Savvy was a genuinely good game. I remember asking in 2009 how the gaming media would review it since most don't have the staff interest and it'd be awkward to see a bunch of manly-men trying to review a game that was clearly targeted at girls. The answer was most just pretended it never existed and never reviewed it and barely wrote anything about it. It really exposed the sad state of the industry for me. A game for females (and confident males!) that was both good and doesn't assume you're 6 years old and the media ignored it.

The first also made extensive use of DLC for a DS title, I wonder what their plans are for this one?

Hmm, those graphics actually aren't bad. Nice models with some simple and clean lighting.

Seriously. Style Savvy was a really good game. syn Sophia put a good effort in developing it, there were a lot of contents and young girls did appreciate it (I didn't buy it by myself though).

Style Savvy was amazing and it had a prototype version of Streetpass where the player could send out ads for their store. really hype for this one.

I bought the first one when it came out on DS and it wasn't bad. The industry needs more games like from big players. It definitely doesn't feel as cynical Ubisoft's offerings.

Like the hat? · (08-13-2012, 03:14 PM)

Always thought the first one looked fun. Might pick this up.

Tagg9 · (08-13-2012, 03:18 PM)

I felt uncomfortable just watching the trailer. Still, I'm sure it will be a great game for young girls (clearly the target market).

I enjoyed the first one, though it kinda grew old after too long. But my wife and kids, holy shit, they've been playing the hell out of the first game the last few months. Because they all wanted to play it so much, we ended up buying three copies. At least it was somewhat cheap used. I have no doubt they'll lose their shit over the new one.

MrVargas · (08-13-2012, 03:24 PM)

I hope they release a pink 3DS XL around the same time. I want to get one for my wife and this game sounds like something she might be into (though Animal Crossing is her killer software).
