Are you a budding fashionista? If so, the not-at-all clumsily-named Nintendo presents: New Style Boutique 2 - Fashion Forward might be one to keep an eye on when it lands on the 3DS on the 20th of November in Europe. It's your chance to rise to the top of the fashion world as the manager of their very own boutique. You aren't confined to the boutique however, players can also let their creativity loose as a hair stylist, make-up artist, model and designer.
In addition to the thousands of in-game items which can be used to style customers, there are special items which can be unlocked using amiibo such as Peach's Princess Crown, Mario's M-Hat, Yoshi's Egg Hooded Jacket and a Kirby handbag (pictured above). There will be regular online themed contests for budding stylists to show off their very best outfits, so it looks like investing in some amiibo might be a good idea.
Obviously this kind of game isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, but we're assured that this fashion simulation series that has sold over 1.5 million units across Europe to date, it's likely to find a dedicated audience. Our stylish reviewer Morgan Sleeper for one cannot wait to get his hands on it.
As always, let us know what you think about the use of amiibo in this upcoming game with a comment below.

Yes!
Oh, wait a minute, I don't like fashion simulators. Cool how they are using amiibo in this though.
That Yoshi Hooded Jacket looks amazing, is there a not-virtual version for man? I would buy it instantly to be honest XD
Great use of Amiibo's.
I've been called many things but 'style savvy' isn't one of em 😄
"when it lands on the 3DS on the 20th of November"
I guess this is the reason they delayed Starfox Zero.
I hope that they release this game here in NA. I would love to play this game and so would my daughter. She wanted the last one but we never got it.
THE GODS HAVE HEARD MY PLEA
I need this game asap.
Totally not my game, lol.
But the more games support amiibos, the better.
Wife's a big fan of this series. I was hoping to surprise her maybe with the awesome looking 3DS bundle if it comes to America. Hope so!
You'd be surprised if you've never played a game in this series. I got the previous game for free via a Club Nintendo promotion and I have to say it's actually quite addictive and fun to play.
So yeah, I'm not ashamed as a 29 year old male to be throwing money on this sequel, not when I can have fun playing it. XD
This will be my GOTY.
This series is ridiculously fun. Once Fatal Frame was announced this became top on my list of games I wanted localized for NA. I'm annoyed nothing has been announced yet.
Ugh. The cover for the sequel is even girlier than the previous game. I shall, with great shame, be buying this come day 1. =P
I played the first one on 3DS as a free download via UK's Club Nintendo promotion (I'm Australian but I imported a Pikachu 3DS XL at the time the promotion took place). If I'm not mistaken, it's probably my 4th most played 3DS game, with over 100 hours poured into it. I think I've unlocked most of the outfits, as both of my in-game cash balances are maxed out, and it's a while since I've seen any new clothes in the exhibition centre.
I like the Yoshi hoodie.
Yep, a day one buy for me. I loved the first and the second one, even though the enthusiastic clapping girls tend to get on my nerves a bit. But it's a great management style game, and this one even has the dolls house added to it to decorate. Bring it on! By the way, 51 yrs old here..😊
Not gonna lie: I'd buy the Hoodie...maybe even the Kirby bag.
Also: Glad more games get Amiibo support.
I really hope this comes stateside one day. Looks great!
North America???
@rjejr I remember thinking about how NIntendo should be careful not to crowd its titles near each other for sales maximization. Kind of hilarious to imagine now, but if I'm being honest my family has plenty enough games for awhile.
As for this game, I know nothing of it, but the more this type of thing happens the more valuable each amiibo becomes. I mean, we all really enjoyed unlocking the mushrooms in Mario Maker and it's a way to make sure you get your favorites represented in a game right away. For us, that amiibo usage in multiple games is paying off even if it's just a simple interaction.
I bought the first 3DS installment for my daughter, and ended up loving it myself. It's such an addictive and high-quality game, as evidenced by Nintendo attaching is name to the title. I'll definitely be picking this one up as soon as it's released here in NA.
I played New Style Boutique as well, on Morgan Sleeper's recommendation, and it was a load of fun. My only hope for the new edition is that Nintendo haven't put in the girl who persisted in coming to my boutique asking for a variety of outfits, but who NEVER EVER liked anything I offered her. In the end I just ignored her and didn't serve her. Anyone else have that experience BTW?
I bought Imagine Fashion Designer for DS, 3DS, and Bratz on 3DS and as fun as each of those were, nothing can beat Style Saavy. Every portion of the game is worth playing and I feel like I'm truly roleplaying when I play it. Roleplaying as a woman, but still...
Still waiting for an announcement of a North American release. Style Savvy is by far the single biggest reason I won a 3DS. Don't keep the sequel away from me Nintendo
I don't believe fashion sims can be fun
I don't believe fashion sims can be fun?
No, I don't believe fashion sims are fun.
Maybe, I do believe fashion sims are fun?
Fashion sims are fun!
Yes, just bring it to the US.
I got the last game for my Mrs and she seemed to think it was pretty good. I'm not sure if the addition of amiibo will be enough of a reason to get her this one too. I guess I'll have to see how it reviews.
@aaronsullivan I actually opened both my silver Mario and my wife's SSB Peach to use in SMM, and of course we put the other 3 in. Dark Donkey Kong came in the mail today, where I'm going to hide a box that big for 3 months I have no idea.
I want this to come to America so bad...
I never played the 2nd but NA date please would buy this ASAP coz IM GETTing my new 3ds in less than 20 hrs from now form GS @ midnight or around abouts there and my retro 3 pack.
need more 3DS games that support the figs pls.
really loved the first though! please come to NA soon.
Pardon me, Nintendo, but I just wanted to remind you that hundreds of thousands of gamers in North America want this game and would happily buy and play it. Not sure why you always put us at the bottom of the list for game releases. What if we put you at the bottom of the list for our hobbies (aka money spent)?!
