GameXplain put together a new Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 graphics comparison for the Switch and PS5 versions following today’s launch.

[Review] Fashion Dreamer

System: Switch
Release date: November 3, 2023

Publisher: XSEED / Marvelous

It’s also a bit of a departure from its predecessors, focusing more tangibly on the clothes themselves than the culture around them. But is that enough to make Fashion Dreamer an easy recommendation for aspiring clothes designers?
