\"\"<\/a>You are a young girl just minding your own business in your backyard when suddenly a talking rabbit bumps into you and runs past.\u00a0 When you catch up to it, you see a portal to another world.\u00a0 When you step in, you are magically transformed into a princess in another realm with enchanted castles and more bunnies who can speak.\u00a0 The talking rabbit tasks you to use your princess magic to redecorate the castle and bring back its former glory.\u00a0 And you can play some mini-games, too.\u00a0 This is the only way to re-open the portal back to your world.\u00a0 And so begins your adventure in Pretty Princess Party for Switch!<\/p>\n

When you start, you\u2019ll be able to design your princess\u2019 look, dress, etc.\u00a0 Then after a tutorial, you can explore the castle and surrounding areas.\u00a0 In the castle are empty rooms with a plaque out in front.\u00a0 In each of those rooms you are tasked with filling the room with furniture, but you must use certain types of decorations listed on the plaque.\u00a0 When you do, you\u2019ll get a jewel that you can use to bring color to a stained glass rose in the middle of the castle. When you get enough, thorns blocking the path to more rooms in the castle will disappear, and you\u2019ll be able to decorate more areas!\u00a0 This part of the game is very much like Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer.\u00a0 As you complete tasks, you\u2019ll earn a type of currency which you can use to buy more furniture recipes in a room in the castle (as well as more dresses and hairstyles and such for you).\u00a0 You just summon whatever furniture you have a recipe for when you decorate.\u00a0 Kind of a strange power for a princess to have, but maybe you\u2019re the princess of Home Depot or IKEA or something.<\/p>\n

You can also visit the outskirts of the castle and surrounding town, talking with the bunnies, helping decorate their homes, and this is where you play most of the mini-games.\u00a0\u00a0 By playing these games, you\u2019ll level up certain attributes which lets you unlock and buy more furniture recipes.\u00a0 Some mini games include horseback riding, decorating cakes, picking flowers in a hedge maze, or archery practice where you shoot targets with a cursor.\u00a0 You can also play these mini-games separately with up to four people as well.<\/p>\n

Pretty Princess Party is an all right game, but it does have a few little problems.\u00a0 In order to find out what furniture you need to build from the plaques to each room, you must hire out an archeologist bunny who can decipher the writing on the plaques for you, and it takes 30 minutes for him to do so and you can only do five at a time!\u00a0 Very annoying.\u00a0 Also, certain mini-games are surprisingly hard for a kids\u2019 title, and some of the text is too small to read in handheld mode.\u00a0 But if you have a little girl who loves decorating houses in Animal Crossing, she may like this game, too.\u00a0 I also like the fact that you can save at any time pretty much after the tutorial.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pretty Princess Party is rated E for Everyone with an ESRB descriptor of Mild Cartoon Violence.\u00a0 I guess you do bump into the bunny at the beginning, and can shoot arrows at targets in the archery mini-game.\u00a0 But I don\u2019t know if that really counts as violent.\u00a0 Reading skill is a must for all the text, and younger players may find of some the mini-games too difficult.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
