My love of the Style Savvy series from Nintendo and Syn Sophia is well-documented on this site, so I’m going to skip right over my normal lede on these stories and get to what we need to know. Fashion Dreamer, the style influencer game from Syn Sophia and Xseed Games, finally has a release date. And it’s the same day as WarioWare: Move It!
I’ve been following this game since it was first announced, and as excited as I’ve been, I’ve also been somewhat confused about how becoming a fashion influencer would work as a video game. I have to imagine I’m not the only one, which is why it’s good Xseed and Nintendo released an 8-minute voice-less trailer for it that details everything players will do to rise to the top of the digital fashion world.
Solving the fashion problems of the game’s various Muses sounds right up my alley. However, I hope Syn Sophia isn’t banking on the online mode to carry this game. I don’t want to jinx it, but I don’t know if this is the type of game that’ll foster a vibrant online community. I hope I’m wrong because I have some jumper designs I’d like to share with the world.
Will this work as well as the Style Savvy series did? I highly doubt it. There is no way being a fake fashion influencer is as immediately satisfying as running a boutique that literally can’t fail. Still, I’m more than ready to give this game a go. I love fashion, and after I see Barbie tonight, I’m probably going to start wanting to play with dolls as well. Fashion Dreamer is pretty much both of those activities combined, so you can be sure it’ll be on my Switch when it releases in North America on November 3, 2023.
