Nintendo Presents: Style Boutique (Nintendo DS)

I'm a 15 year old girl, and I absolutely LOVE this game. I don't even care that it's aimed at eight year olds, I just love it.The game contains a variety of fun characters, from Grace who teaches you the ins and outs of the fashion world, Renee who is your shop assistant, Godfrey, the housekeeper of the very rich and handsome Dominic and even his maid, Euince. (Don't forget Ro-co-co!)In the game, your goal is to build up to be a five-star boutique. To get this title, you need to serve customers and sell them items you think they'd like. You have to buy stock to do this, of course. You can also enter fashion contests and win rare items and awards, which often leads to you getting an article in a magazine, which is great advertisment!Your customers often invite you out places too, like Chinatown or just out for tea, and a photographer (who's name I can't remember!) always takes your photo, which you can keep in an album.Because of the wide variety of items you can buy, you can make your person anyone you want, with help from the hair dresser and the beautician.I've literally spent hours on this game, and it's really great. Every little girl needs this game, even if they're not so little and they're infact teens...

I was happy when this game arrived on the exact date it suggested to arrive on so I was extremely satisfied with the quick delivery. I got into the game fairly quickly and it's very good if you actually enjoy styling outfits and putting outfits together as that is pretty much what you are doing. However, this game does go by real time and on a Sunday your orders don't came straight to the store meaning you have to wait until is actually Monday in real time before getting your stocks. This is good as you can't complete the game straight away but also a downside as you have to wait to play the game unless you. Hangs your date settings for your whole ds. Either way I was happy with this purchase and do really enjoy the game.

Girlfriend bought this in hopes to actually play it the product disclaimer was completely wrong and got the exact opposite: box and instructions with no game in sight!!!!

not sure it is the game we thought we were ordering but she plays with it I little did think we would of got a box the picture show a box.

First of all, a BIG thank you to GAMES_COLLECTOR. Item as described, well packaged, most importantly superbly fast shipping (which all customers fancy! :-) ). With its 100% feedback so far, am not surprised I received an excellent service overall. Games_ Collector is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Amazon could learn a thing or two from an independent company such as this. My hubby pays for the annual prime thing and most of the time, items arrived late! Anyway, I got it as a 2nd hand with a great bargain. Wasn't sure at first but glad, I bought it... I spend 4 hours non-stop (only now taking a break..lol!) from playing it. Caution: can be very addictive. For some who enjoys fashions, plus an easy laid back game...this could be the one for you.

Possibly the most addictive DS game I've tried so far. You start off training in a boutique then get to run your own shop. You have to learn to buy the right stock to match what customers ask for which is quite fun, I've gone wrong a few times before getting the hang of it but once you get to grips with it it's so addictive and absorbing. You have to match items of clothing to co-ordinate, and dress mannequins, as well as guessing what customers like based on how they look. I find it hard to put down but a good aspect of the game is, when you do need to stop playing and do something else, you can save at any time and don't have to reach a set level before you can save and switch off. I deducted one star because of the graphics, all the women you dress are unrealistically thin which isn't a good body image to give to young girls. These images are really stick thin, with body shapes that don't repesent healthy eating, and it's presented as glamorous. I find this a bit worrying if it's aimed at young girls. The game is fun, though, but I'd like it even better if I were dressing more realistic body shapes.

I had this game quite a few years ago- so when I recently bought a new DS I knew I wanted this fun game back in my collection.It's very easy to play- choosing items for your customers- listening to what they need and assessing their styles- it's a fun way to pass a few hours.I've since purchased the 2nd in the series and I'm excited for it to arrive- who cares if I'm 33!! ;)

I don't like the fact that I was under the impression that the game I had bought said NEW then when I went to play for the first time I was met with lots of already input detail clearly showing it had been previously played and used. Very disappointed as I am wondering if there will now be a problem with the game.We will wait and see so really I think that it should've stated used and not new.so far so good with game.I had previously bought the game and had played it for a long time, but gave it to my daughter and wanted to just replace mine.

A very fun and enjoyable game that is very well done and the graphics are pretty good by DS standards. The characters are good and the clothes are super cute. The music is fine and the gameplay is pretty good. My only complaint is that you got to hold the DS like a book in order to play but as long as you use a DS or 2DS instead of an original Nintendo 3DS, you should be fine. This is great game for those who love fashion and kids who like Barbie. There are 2 sequels, both of which were released on the 3DS, If you like this game, than play the two sequels on the 3DS, the graphics are greatly improved and the gameplay is much improved. The Style Savvy games are actually high quality and very well done for games about fashion and dressing up. They're a lot better than any game based on a fashion doll line. This one my absolute favourite DS games of all time.

ゲームの最初に、通貨を選ばないといけないあたり、さすが輸入盤。＄か€（ユーロ）か￡（ポンド）か選ぶんです。このゲームのいいところは「色んな女の子が色んな風に生きていて、ファッションを楽しんでいる、そのお手伝いができてなおかつめっちゃ感謝される」ところ。とても平和なゲームだと思う。その「色んな女の子が」輸入盤ではさらに色んな女の子になっていて感嘆！日本版だとどうしてもみんな日本人なんですが（たまにカタコトで話す外国人がいるけど）、輸入盤では女の子たちの名前がロシア名、フランス名、英語名、中国名とほんとに様々で人種のサラダボウルを感じさせます。各女子の一行紹介（またこれが好きで）日本語だと「明太子と結婚したい。ピリっとしたところが好き」→英語だと「世界のキャビアを食らい尽くせる自信ある」、「実家はお米屋さん」→「パン屋の二階に住んでます」、となってたり、楽しいですよ～～～。アイテムの訳語も、英字ロゴキャミが日本語ロゴキャミになってて笑いました。キャラクターに「まばたき」が加わりましたね。頻繁にパチパチするので、生き生きしてみえます。コンテストのシーンでどうしても長く続いて退屈だったモデル一人一人のキャットウォークをスキップできるようになりました。このほうが快適です。他にも開店時に美也がメッセージカードをくれたり、お客さんとお出かけする時、日本版だと店に表れる格好で待ち合わせ場所に来る仕様だったのが、ちゃんとTPOに合わせて着替えてくるように変更されてて、色々嬉しいです。雛祭りとかの日本独特のイベントはないですね。かわりにイースターとかがあるのかな？これから楽しみに１年プレイします。

As a fashion blogger, I have a love for all things fashion related. So, I figured I would give this game a try. I loved the idea of being able to pick out looks for other people while running my own shop.The game was surprisingly a lot of fun. Once you open your own shop, you are able to pick a store layout, pick the music, and go to the buyer's center to pick up new items to stock.I think my favorite part of the game was dressing my own character up. I was constantly changing her clothes, putting highlights in here hair, and changing her makeup. The hair salon and cosmetics store were nice to visit and it was easy to pick things to buy from each.Although I really liked the game, I wish there had been more stuff to do. Dominic (the shop's owner) frequently came into the shop for a moment. As did his butler, Godfrey. Godfrey was constantly suggesting that my character spend some time with Dominic. Of course, there was never an option to actually do so. Otherwise, maybe Dominic and I could have gone out on a hot date. ;) Hahaha. Other than the usual helping customers, I did get to attend a movie premiere.The game was incredibly easy. Once you pick up on the clothes and brands that a customer likes, it is easy to pick out pieces they would like. (Although, I have to admit, sometimes the clothes these customers wore looked ridiculous.) Every time my shop's rank increased and I got a star, I would go right over to the contest area and enter the next contest. I won every single contest I did. Because I never lost, it led me to wonder if it was possible to lose? I suppose it is if you create some outfit that has nothing to do with the theme... Because of this, it only took me a few days to beat the game. And unfortunately, I lost interest after I had beaten it.Overall I loved the game and would definitely recommend checking it out if you're interested in fashion.

Got the gamee supperr fast and its such good quality!!!

It'll be great if Girls Mode (the sequel to Style Savvy) hits NA; I'd really like to see more of this.It's not really a game per se. You spend your days dressing people in trendy outfits and attending fashion conventions.If you're a fan of character creators in general (like CoH) and have a soft spot for fashion, this is a pretty nice title.I guess you could say it's "girly" or whatever, but I don't find it offensive. It doesn't talk down to you like you'rean idiot like some Ubisoft titles I could name. Obviously if you're looking for a challenge of reflexes or strategy, thiswould be a bad choice. But if you got an itch for this kind of stuff, this game scratches it better than any other ever made.
