https://www.nintendo.co.uk/News/201...Fashion-Forward-for-Nintendo-3DS-1052258.html

Coming exclusively to Nintendo 3DS family systems on 20th November, Nintendo presents: New Style Boutique 2 - Fashion Forward gives players the opportunity to rise to the top of the fashion world as the manager of their very own boutique. The fun goes far beyond the shopfloor, as players can also let their creativity loose in four additional roles: Hair Stylist, Make-Up Artist, Model and Designer.

This third instalment in the fashion simulation series that has sold over 1.5 million units across Europe to date* lets budding fashionistas run their very own chic boutique in the bustling Beaumonde City, home to hundreds of colourful personalities. Characters visit the shop and describe what theyre looking for, and its up to the player to pick out the perfect look, choosing from 19,000 items like casual dresses, eye-catching t-shirts and those all-important accessories including bags and earrings. Make the right recommendation and the customer will leave thrilled, sure to spread the word!

On top of the thousands of in-game items with which to style customers, there are special pieces that can only be unlocked by tapping compatible amiibo during gameplay**, including Peachs Princess Crown, Marios M Hat, Yoshis Egg Hooded Jacket and more. New items will also be available to download after the games launch, while regular online*** themed contests will challenge stylists to show off their very best outfits. Couture connoisseurs can even organise their own contests for other players to join perfect for finding inspiration and comparing ensembles.

In addition to the fun shop management gameplay of previous titles, four exciting new professions await dedicated followers of fashion, with the freedom to switch between them whenever they like:

Hair Stylist and Make-Up Artist: Styling clients goes far beyond clothes, with a huge range of make-up looks to apply at the beauticians and countless creative hairstyles to delight customers at the hair salon.

Designer: Imaginative style enthusiasts can build their very own fashion house by designing a unique clothing and accessories line. Fashion labels are always on the lookout for up-and-coming designers, and often commission new items to complement their existing collection a great opportunity to get noticed and spread the word about the boutique.

Model: Players can also show off their sartorial savvy as a model for in-game brands, each with its own vision and needs. Its all about pairing the right outfit with flawless hair and make-up, then bringing it all together with the perfect pose. Images from photo shoots might even appear on billboards and advertisements around the city for everyone to admire!

Lastly, a retreat from the hustle and bustle of the fashion world awaits at Caprice Chalet. Here, anyone with a taste for decorating can transform the rooms of a dollhouse into anything from a relaxing bedroom to a trendy boutique, then share them online*** or with other players met via StreetPass.

Nintendo presents: New Style Boutique 2 - Fashion Forward will be available across Europe from 20th November, exclusively for Nintendo 3DS family systems. A hardware bundle containing a white New Nintendo 3DS system with a digital copy of the game****, exclusive elegant white cover plates and a download code for a HOME Menu theme, will also launch on the same day.

Looks better than the ugly Animal Crossing one....

Ludger Kresnik · Sep 23, 2015

I can't wait for this, it looks to have a lot of variety that Trendsetters needed.

Boney · Sep 23, 2015

I still have no idea what exactly is new in this game

Eolz · Sep 23, 2015

That's a nice looking bundle (for its targeted audience).
Surprisingly really good games (only played the demos and heard some feedback from friends), glad to see them selling well. On mobile in the future maybe?

Robin64 · Sep 23, 2015

The box art suggests to me they are slowly trying to bring the manga-esque aspect of the original art over a little more, if just slowly at first.

Compared to:

dock · Oct 28, 2015

Oh, awesome! I always regretted that I didn't get the first 3DS game, so I pre-ordered this game.

I'm going to design the hell out of some pretty dresses.

Nightbird · Oct 28, 2015

I really want that Game.

No regrets.

Redhood · Oct 28, 2015

Whats with those scary eyes? Mascara overload.

Starwolf_UK · Oct 28, 2015

The Nintendo UK store is also offering lookfantastic vouchers for orders (£5 one for the game, £10 for the hardware bundle).

Slermy · Oct 28, 2015

Disappointed they haven't announced a US release for this.

I love the art style and eyes. Really gives a shoujo vibe.

pinkurocket · Oct 28, 2015

This game has won me over. I really want to play it.

Kouriozan · Oct 28, 2015

Got the first with the too many games promo but then deleted the mail with the code so I could never claim it T-T
I'll be there day one for the sequel though.

dock · Oct 28, 2015

Does anyone know what the multiplayer features of this game are like? I'm wondering whether it'll be mostly online. I have a few friends that enjoy the series.

That's a great idea!

BowieZ · Oct 28, 2015

Oh, I get it. The faceplate resembles the clutch bag also represented on the cover art.

rhandino · Oct 28, 2015

Every time this thread is bumped I hope it's because an NA release... why must we suffer T_T

Shoujo realness.

Amalthea · Oct 28, 2015

I can't get those games anymore, they are great but my urge to go shopping clothes gets even higher than it already is when I play Style Boutique.

Apologies then! Didn't know it was a particular art style.

-shadow- · Oct 29, 2015

I don't really care for the game. But we seriously need an update on this one!

Loptous · Oct 29, 2015

When did they first announce this for EU?
It seriously took me by surprise when I saw it yesterday.

Also, I skipped on the second game, but I'll get this day-1.

More amiibo support announced!

@MUWANdo · Nov 4, 2015

A few more from Facebook--they say the final game supports "10 Amiibo ladies", so I'm guessing it'll be these 7 & Peach plus Rosalina and regular Samus.

Eolz · Nov 4, 2015

Those are pretty cool amiibo bonuses tbh, even though the Wii Fit one could have been better.

PepsimanVsJoe · Nov 4, 2015

If NoA doesn't bring this game over here I'm going to rage-sell my 3DS.

Eh, I don't know. Wii Fit Trainer's outfit is super generic. The earrings are pretty unique.

kagamin · Nov 4, 2015

Time to import.

Apharmd · Nov 4, 2015

yo where is the US release

i am deeply displeased at the current lack of announcements

Nintendo said they still have unannounced games for 3DS/Wii U that'll be out for the holidays and you'd have to think this game will be one of them, seeing as it's translated and all.

first, Rhythm Heaven, then Picross 3D 2 and now this.

NoA is out to make everyone who likes niche games hate them.

Moonlight · Nov 4, 2015

This game almost makes me want Amiibos.

the radio silence on those is killing me.

Clov · Nov 4, 2015

Haven't played any of the games in the series, but this does look like a lot of fun! I like the Amiibo costumes too. Hopefully NoA will pull through.

It is.
You won't believe just how addictive and entertaining running a fashion store & picking out clothes for others can be.

Delio · Nov 4, 2015

Um and WHERE is the american announcement?

At least they're keeping all the niche stuff on the 3DS where I'm at least able to play the games. Can't bypass Wii U region-lock like you can 3DS.

Robin64 · Nov 4, 2015

Samus confirmed.

Persona7 · Nov 4, 2015

pls announce noa

Oersted · Nov 4, 2015

No male Amiibos? For shame Nintendo, for shame.

TriAceJP · Nov 4, 2015

I am not digging that 3DS at all, but give me the game.

I'm going to play the hell out of it.

TheSlySoul · Nov 4, 2015

For those that played it, is the first game worth it? Got an EU 3DS and can play the game.

The original set of compatible amiibo includes Mario, Kirby, Yoshi, and Peach, plus generic unlocks for Luigi, Bowser and Toad.

The amiibo posted today are new additions for the international release.

I might have to purchase a ZSS amiibo.
