Review: Dragon Ball Z – Ultimate Tenkaichi (PS3)

I don’t know how Style Savvy works, but I do know that Nintendo has figured out a way to get actual real-world fashions into the game as DLC. A few weeks ago, Alison from “Nintendo Week” debuted her in-game shop – predictably called “Alison’s.” Now Style Savvy players can shop at Beyonce’s designer label, “Dereon.” A few screens are after the jump.

The Dereon offerings are based on Beyonce’s real-life designs, so you could buy her outfit in the game and also go buy it in real life. And then go as your Style Savvy avatar for Halloween.

One time I got a black shirt with “BB” on it and went as my Animal Crossing character. Not really.

Nintendo News: Beyoncé’s Deréon Downloads Now Available to Style Savvy Owners

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Starting today, fashion mavens who own Nintendo’s Style Savvy™ game for the Nintendo DS™ family of portable systems and have broadband Internet access will be able to download some bonus fashions from Deréon, a clothing line co-created by entertainment icon Beyoncé and her mother, designer Tina Knowles. Style Savvy players can now choose from five real-life Deréon designs to outfit their character. These new fashions include:

Deréon Pop Polo
“D’s Studded” Skinny Jeans
Sasha Fierce Short Shorts
D’s Ruffle Cropped Jacket
“All Zipped Up” Dress

Beyoncé’s partnership with Nintendo goes beyond these downloads. She will also be featured in Style Savvy commercials, which will begin airing on Nickelodeon the week prior to this year’s Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards and during the event on March 27. Beyoncé previously starred in commercials for Nintendo’s Rhythm Heaven™ game.

The new Deréon downloads mark the second time real-life fashions have made their way into the game. Players have also had access to Charlotte Ronson Designer Downloads, which lets players download items from Ronson’s fall 2009 line directly into the game.

Style Savvy invites players of any age to express their individual sense of style by managing a virtual clothing boutique. Choosing from more than 10,000 items in a wide variety of styles, designer labels and price points, players can create distinctive looks to satisfy customers with various tastes and budget constraints. Using the simple controls of a Nintendo DS system, players can enjoy Style Savvy anytime, anywhere.
