Nintendo’s Style Savvy puts you in the role of the manager of a chic clothing boutique. Your customers look to you to help find cool outfits that match their style while staying within their budget. The game, which launches today exclusively for the portable Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi systems, blends elements of fashion smarts and business know-how with the fun of finding ways to help people look their best.
“Style Savvy inspires players to help customers express their style and creativity, all while managing a store, including budget and inventory,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “The game includes more than 10,000 clothing items, shoes and accessories, which invite endless creative possibilities.”
Style Savvy includes 16 different in-game designer labels, each with its own distinct style and price point. The customers who visit your shop have different personalities, needs, interests and budgets, and it’s up to you to make them look their best in your clothes so they come back for more.
Once your store collects enough money, then it’s time for you to go shopping to replenish your stock. You’ll find different clothing options and styles available at various times of the year, as the game adapts to the change in real-world seasons based on the calendar settings of your Nintendo DS or Nintendo DSi system.
If you make a local wireless connection, you can invite up to three friends who have Nintendo DS or Nintendo DSi systems and copies of the game to compete in a fashion runway contest to see who has the best eye for fashion. If two players have the Style Savvy game, and are within 30 feet of each other, they can connect their Nintendo DS or Nintendo DSi systems locally to visit each other’s stores.
To celebrate the launch of Style Savvy, Nintendo held a fashion challenge and runway show on Oct. 29 at JCPenney in Manhattan. Ten mother-daughter teams competed to see who had the savviest style. Virginia F. and her daughter, Dontaya M., of New York walked away with the grand prize: a $500 JCPenney gift certificate, a gift bag from Sephora, two Nintendo DSi systems, two copies of Style Savvy, and clothes and accessories from the event.
Style Savvy players will also be able to access Charlotte Ronson Designer Downloads created by top designer Charlotte Ronson. Players with wireless broadband Internet access will be able to download items from her fall 2009 line directly into the game. It’s yet another way that Nintendo gives consumers the tools to completely customize their video game experiences.
Wine experts predict that the 2009 Bordeaux vintage could be one of the best on record, thanks to September’s perfect weather conditions. How do weather conditions affect wine? How do you make a successful wine? If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to own your own vineyard and make your own wine, you can now do so from the comfort of your home and for just about twenty bucks with Got Game Entertainment’s “Wine Tycoon”. In this just released simulation game for your PC, you can create the vineyard of your dreams in the famous wine regions of France. Commanding operations from your very own French chateau, you must build your winery, plant and tend your vines through all four seasons of the year, and hire staff to harvest and process your grapes to produce French wines such as Bordeaux, Burgundy, Pinot Gris and Champagne, all in the ultimate goal of becoming a wealthy wine baron.
Published in North America by Got Game Entertainment, and developed in the UK by Virtual Playground, makers of popular “tycoon” games, “Wine Tycoon” derives its authenticity and accuracy from enviable research done by Virtual Playground’s Colin Courtney, the company’s development director and CEO.
“Over the years I have gained a passion for wine, and had the opportunity to travel throughout Europe, visiting top vineyards and Champagne houses,” said Courtney. “With the help of two other researchers, we have pulled together the information needed to make this game as accurate as possible, while keeping the game flowing and fun.”
With two levels of game play -- Career and Free Play, both with a tutorial for those who want it -- “Wine Tycoon” allows you to either patiently develop your gaming and wine-making skills, or roll up your sleeves and jump right in with just the funds to start a vineyard from scratch. “Wine Tycoon” also features an interesting and informative bonus Wine Encyclopedia with a glossary of wine terms and concise descriptions of French wines, grape varieties and wine regions.
After your grapes are harvested, sorted, and pressed, it is then, during the fermentation process, that you can control the flavor and quality of the wine, by blending different wines together. Further, some wines will command a better price if they are aged while other wines are best drunk young. As your winery grows in size and reputation, you will get a steady stream of buyers knocking on your chateau door with offers to buy, but is their offer the best? That’s for you, the wine tycoon, to decide!
“Wine Tycoon” makes its retail debut at $19.99 (USD) and is rated “E” for Everyone (Alcohol Reference) by the ESRB.
