One game featured in last week's Japanese Nintendo Direct that didn't get a spot in the Western broadcast was the upcoming Marvelous XSEED fashion title, Fashion Dreamer.

It was previously shown in the February Direct, and now, if the Switch's release schedule wasn't already busy enough for the second half of this year, it's been confirmed this title will be arriving in Japan on 2nd November 2023.

Again, this is just the date for Japan right now, but presumably the localisation won't be far off. According to the Nintendo website, Fashion Dreamer is scheduled to release in other locations around the world at some point in 2023. Alongside the release date for Japan, Nintendo shared a new trailer.

Here's a look, along with a bit about what to expect. If you've enjoyed games like the Style Boutique / Style Savvy series, this might be worth putting on your wishlist.

"Fashion Dreamer: Welcome to Fashion Dreamer, a fashion game where you glam it up and share your creations on your quest to become a stylish influencer. Choose from over 1,400 design options and connect online*² to expand your friend circle and grow your brand. Got an eye for fashion? Then get styling when Fashion Dreamer debuts exclusively on Nintendo Switch this year."

This game looks interesting. Maybe I will love it. I must see more how the game is.

Unless the game reviews just god awful - I was planning on picking it up for my daughters. And then I plan on playing it myself during the secrets of the nighttime.

Good to know that it’s still on track for this year in the West.

The Japanese release includes English, so, there's no delay to the Western localisation at all. I think it's more a manner of the timing of the release to maximise those early sales dollars. There is also the possibility of this being a digital exclusive outside of Japan, though it will be import friendly for those who are so inclined.

I was also under the impression that the Style Boutique/Savvy series was a Nintendo IP (well, it still seems to be), but this is sending mixed messages as it has the very same art style, character designs, and animations as the 3DS releases.

What's the go?

I really enjoyed these humble boutique sims, and if they turn out to be more or less the same as the 3DS games, then I have high hopes for this too, though I guess I'm slightly apprehensive due to Nintendo's lack of involvement this time around (?) and what it means for the Style Boutique series going forward.

How’s 1400 design options versus 20.000+ in last 3ds entry ? What I mean is this beautiful series requires more love and information.

The developer of this game is the same developer of Style Savvy series, because for this, the visuals and style are very notorious similarities, and , In my opinion, I won't worry for reviews receive this game, the developer has its "seal of Quality", XD

I’ve wondered about what happened to Fashion Dreamer since it didn’t even show up in Marvelous’ showcase or the Western Direct, so this is good. November looks like a stacked month for me between this, WarioWare, and Super Mario RPG!

I'm actually quite interested in this, I've never been into fashion until quite recently and this might even be a good game to play in Japanese to help with my studying.
