Nintendo Presents: New Style Boutique - Fashion Failure? (Style Savvy : Trendsetters)

alt title: I talk about how much I love this game for nearly an hour (in low quality)

Nintendo Presents: New Style Boutique was released for the 3DS in late 2012, and its pretty epic. It does a lot of things. That's the video. (possibly clickbaity title but i couldn't think of anything else beginning with f that i wasn't gonna use for the next 2 games).

this is the big video if you can't already tell! I guess i'll talk about it - I've been working on this for over a month, which doesn't seem like that long in retrospect but it darn felt like it. I wish i didn't need to do a voiceover bc I don't speak often and when I do I sound like I'm on the verge of tears and I don't have an epic place to record! Kinda desensitised to it now, like who is that speaking bc its not me. I've also wanted to make a video like this for a long time, and kinda wanna do them for other, more obscure games too. It's really just a passion project, and the most tiring effort i've ever put into a video. Usually I'd edit using imovie but this ones edited on my tiny phone screen with a totally different free editor thats goofy af but i kinda love it now. I hate the gross blurry BG of the gameplay segments but i only found out how to get rid of it when it was too late lol. Anyways this is too long for a description so bye.

my therapist told me to be cringe and so i shall

EDIT: of course as soon as I post this Fashion Dreamer gets a release date of 3rd November (NA) !!! Along with an English trailer! Might talk about it idk

Actually the developer Syn Sophia approached Nintendo for a new Style Boutique entry for the switch, but Nintendo declined to publish it themselves. So they went with another publisher instead and has to change the IP name as Nintendo holds the rights to it. So Fashion Dreamer is Style Boutique in all but name and we should support them if we don't want games like this to disappear forever

[kinnienation]

the algorithm is on fire right now. LOVE this game franchise. It's a genuinely good business management simulation! Also I love how you put every song you use in the description of your videos <3 Thanks for the watch!

[ri-rose]

The beauty of this game series is that it fufills the core desire to play dress up games I have had since childhood playing flash dress up games. Can't wait for Synsophia's spirtual successor to NSB/Style Savvy called Fashion Dreamer for switch!

[brimlove]

I liked not paying attention to the price of an outfit and then telling the customer to try it on. Then getting really lucky in the customer likeing the outfit so much they still buy it even though it was out of their price range lol.

[haileymadisonsebastian]

note about the images: the change depending on your region! image is called “taste”, “glam” is called “flirty”, and “ethnic” is called “boho-chic” in the west (which is SO MUCH BETTER.)

i love your video btw i’ve been playing this game for over 10 years and even then i still love hearing people talk about it

[PandoraHearchu]

I don't know if you realized this already, but the in-game brands are actually based on/parodying existing brands, so I feel that adds a whole new layer to it helping people shop better IRL.

The name for music adapting to your actions in game is adaptive audio, in this case it is specifically vertical mixing since it is layering instruments on top or removing them when you add clothing, while the core melody continues without interruption. Mario kart 8 is vertical mixing when you move to the karts, adding instruments, and horizontally mixing moving on to the track selection, as the soundtrack that was playing changes to a different one. As horizontal mixing switches to an entirely different soundtrack according to your inputs there is usually a small transition segment composed to transition between the soundtracks so it doesn't just jarringly switch between soundtrack. Now that i've listened to it again mario kart 8's final adaptive segment of your example could be just very involved vertical mixing to make it sound like a different piece of music, which makes sense since horizontal mixing is the least common and most difficult to compose since changing sections in music usually happens the same time ever time you listen to it, but in this case it has to change at any time in accordance to the player's inputs AND sound natural.

I love you so much for making this, style savvy doesn’t get near as much attention as it should be 😭

[naeu.mp]

i didnt notice the music change at all!! it made me love the game even more.

style savvy/boutique is one of my favourite series ever, and its actually one of my special interests! needless to say, i absolutely adored this video and i cant wait to see more installments for fashion forward + styling star!! it was honestly so interesting hearing your opinions on certain aspects of the game, and how different our playstyles are (in a good way) :)

i did want to mention some things i noticed while watching, though, that you may have missed due to your save already being super far into the game:

1. happiness actually does give you really great rewards at the beginning! this is how you unlock more storage space, hair styles, make-up, and more exhibition hall stores :) it does end after a while, though, which is when you start getting only clothing (which you mentioned)

2. the assistants actually do have different things they can do, although it seems a bit rare whenever they actually do it. Hazel and Danny keeps your stockroom full, Trevor and Deirdre will sometimes sell items on their own when the day starts, and lastly Shea and Gordon will dress themselves up without your help. like i said, these seem insanely rare though for some reason?

3. the perfume actually does do something - they affect the particles that surround your character when they're equipped. for example, one of them gives you sparkles around your character, another gives flowers, etc etc

sorry for such a long comment!! overall, this was an amazing video and deep dive into the trendsetters game. i actually didnt know about the layers of music when you put on clothing, and oh my god my mind is absolutely blown. keep it up!! i rly can't wait for future videos!!!

[manaami]

I never noticed the difference in the music omg ur a genius

[chocomintwafer]

this video showed up on my recommended because I was looking for this title on ebay lmao I'm so mad they didn't release a physical copy in the US. great video!

[AmeliaMastervally]

YouTube is finally recommending me game reviews for games I ACTUALLY care about.

[Pownchao]

I’m a guy, and I have never played dress up games before. But as I grew older, and I opened myself up more to my creativity and expended my horizons to more genres in games, I’ve wanted to try a dress up game. I’ve been aware of “Style Savvy” for as long as I’ve had my first DS, but never paid much attention to it. I’ve heard good things about the series, and am now interested in the new game “Fashion Dreamer” coming out.

[tatsufromkansai]

Omg, I get recommended this the day I start replaying Trendsetters! :3

I love Style Savvy!! I'm really into gyaru fashion, so I use a lot of clothes from AZ-USA and Le Spark! AZ-USA is actually named after Azusa Tajima (the producer of the first Style Savvy)! : >

This video is amazing! I'm glad Style Savvy is getting more attention! I don't have a Switch, but I can't wait for Fashion Dreamer! It looks so good! ♡

[ConchitaDsouza]

I was NOT expecting that many different music layers for each item wow I need to replay the game with my sound on blast rn. Also your lil text commentary is hilarious and I can't wait for future videos!

[fugitive_]

Aaaaa i never thought id see a deep dive on this game thank you! I really want to play this again now!

[Poicyss]

I feel like I had the same experience you described at the start! I loved new style boutique when I was little, and then over covid I bought the other 2 games on the 3ds and I fell in love all over again. It's so nice to see people still talking about these games! I felt kind of alone when I didn't see anyone as excited about Fashion Dreamer as I was...
