History Videogame / StyleSavvy

* TooLongDidntDub: All of the songs in ''Styling Star'' were dubbed into English except for two of Alina's songs, "Desukoi Koi Koi!" and "Twinkle Fantasia". Given that the former is a bright, frenetic J-Pop song that wouldn't be out of place in a ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution'' game, and the latter being a more traditionally Japanese-themed song, it still works, especially considering [[OccidentalOtaku the kind of character Alina is]]. Also, ''Fashion Forward'' and ''Styling Star'''s American release did not get a separate localization like the first two games, instead simply recycling the European English localization, [[SeparatedByACommonLanguage resulting in some confusion]].

** ''Trendsetters'' features free clothes DLC, such as [[VideoGame/AnimalCrossing a Totakeke inspired T-shirt]]. In Japan it received DLC from the real lolita brand Baby the Stars Shine Bright.

The fourth installment was released November 2, 2017 in Japan as ''Girls Mode 4: Star Stylist'', in Europe as ''New Style Boutique 3: Styling Star'' on November 24, 2017, and in North America as ''Style Savvy: Styling Star''. on December 25, 2017. However, the North American release was digital only. This version includes the hair salon and beautician shops, the ability to make manicures, and brings back the direct sale of menswear.

** The third game received ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon}}'' and ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossingHappyHomeDesigner'' themed DLC.

* PungeonMaster: Florian the florist and Michel the baguette cart owner in ''Styling Star''.

* LovableAlphaBitch: Renee in the first game, Emmylou in ''Trendsetters'', and Callie in ''Fashion Forward.''

* PutOnABus: The Flirty clothing style is not available in ''Fashion Forward''. All the clothes that fit that style in previous games make a return, but they are now classified as different styles such as Girly or Bold.

** ''Styling Star'' features an idol producing agency whose name is a [[GoroAwaseNumber number pun]] based on the game's publisher... [[Franchise/TheiDolmaster Now where have we seen that before?]]

* ArtEvolution: On top of the graphical boost between the UsefulNotes/NintendoDS and UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS, the art style changed a bit between the first game and ''Trendsetters''. It became cleaner, less stylized, and with smaller eyes. The fourth game goes for a more cel-shaded look

In both the US and Japan, ''Style Savvy'' received a surprisingly good reception, given the genre's tendency to fall into shovelware, and ranks as one of the best selling UsefulNotes/NintendoDS games. It also received a sequel for the UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS, ''Style Savvy: Trendsetters'' (also known as ''Wagamama Fashion: Girls Mode Yokubari Sengen!'' or ''Nintendo Presents: New Style Boutique''), with added content such as bags or men's fashion.

** The third game received ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon}}'' and ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing: Happy Home Designer'' themed DLC.

** If the player wins a fashion show, they'll obtain a special type of clothing not available in store.

* ArtificialStupidity: Sometimes the [=NPC=]s will be wearing rather nice outfits. On the other hand, sometimes you'll be left wondering who let them leave the house [[RummageSaleReject looking like that]].

* {{Cosplay}}: The Teatro Amare (Purple Moon in Europe) line.

* LovableAlphaBitch: Renee in the first game, Emmylou in ''Trendsetters'' and Callie in ''Fashion Forward.''

* MenswearGhetto: Oh yes. Men's fashion wasn't even available until the second game, and they have only five clothing styles to choose from. And outside of Japan the choices are even more limited, because the menswear branch of the Kanokoi line cannot be sold in your shop. You can still win these clothes from filling your happiness meter, though, so at least they weren't removed entirely.

* NiceHat: In ''Trendsetters'', Brad the delivery guy wears a cool cap as part of his uniform. There's also the contest announcer MC Mode, who almost always wears a snazzy fedora.

* ShoutOut: In ''Trendsetters'' sometimes customers will say "I like camisoles! [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue They're comfy and easy to wear!]]".

''Style Savvy'', also known as ''Nintendo Presents: Style Boutique'', or ''Wagamama Fashion: Girls Mode'', depending on one's region, is a Creator/{{Nintendo}} published and syn Sophia developed fashion simulator for the NintendoDS.

In both the US and Japan, ''Style Savvy'' received a surprisingly good reception, given the genre's tendency to fall into shovelware, and ranks as one of the best selling NintendoDS games. It also received a sequel for the Nintendo3DS, ''Style Savvy: Trendsetters'' (also known as ''Wagamama Fashion: Girls Mode Yokubari Sengen!'' or ''Nintendo Presents: New Style Boutique''), with added content such as bags or men's fashion.

A third installment was released on April 16, 2015 in Japan under the name of ''Girls Mode 3☆Kirakira Corde''. It features yet even more additions, such as the ability to design your own clothes and to give makeovers to your guests at your shop. It was released on Europe under the title ''New Style Boutique 2 - Fashion Forward'' on November 20, 2015. This is the first game in the series to be ''Toys/{{amiibo}}'' compatible. It will be released in North America on August 19, 2016 under the title ''Style Savvy: Fashion Forward''.

* PutOnABus: The Flirty clothing style is not available in ''Fashion Forward.'' All the clothes that fit that style in previous games make a return, but they are now classified as different styles such as Girly or Bold.

* {{Lilliputians}}: The characters in ''Fashion Forward''.

* PutOnABus: "Flirty"-style clothing doesn't appear at all in ''Fashion Forward''.

* PaletteSwap: Predictably, a lot of the clothes have these.
* PurelyAestheticGlasses: In the Style Savvy world, glasses are just one more kind of accessory. Genevieve in ''Trendsetters'' mentions being BlindWithoutEm, but you can still give her an outfit that doesn't include glasses and as long as it fits her style preference she'll happily take it.
* PrincessesPreferPink: Marble Lily, the whimsical, storybook-princess-like brand, has mostly pink clothes.

* LuckBasedMission: Filling up the color palette in ''Fashion Forward'' can get very tedious. For example, there are some colors you can only get from a specific cutscene where someone invites you out to eat, which can take several attempts to trigger.
