Overview
Description

Black & White 2 is an acclaimed god simulation and real-time strategy game where you act as a deity summoned from the void by desperate refugees. Shape the destiny of your followers by developing their civilization through peaceful city-building or brutal conquest, while nurturing a massive physical avatar—ranging from an ape to a tiger—whose alignment reflects your moral choices. Building upon the foundation of the original game, this sequel introduces full-scale warfare and fighting units as you lead your chosen civilization across various lands to defeat rival empires like the Norse, Japanese, and Aztecs. Balance your divine miracles, manage your economy and population's desires, and fulfill an ancient prophecy to achieve ultimate dominance over the world.

Imagine: Fashion Life lets players dive into three glamorous fashion careers—designer, model, and mall owner—on the Nintendo 3DS. Create original outfits, stage dazzling runway shows, and snap photo‑shoots with ultra‑realistic 3D graphics. Manage a bustling mall, stock the hottest brands, and balance budgets to build a fashion empire. The game blends creative design with business strategy, offering a deep single‑player experience for fashion lovers of all ages.
