XSEED Games y la desarrolladora Implicit Conversions dieron a conocer que Milano’s Odd Job Collection se lanzará de forma digital el 9 de diciembre de 2025 para Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, y PC (Steam, GOG), por US$14.99. Un paquete de mejora gratuito para la versión de Switch 2 también estará disponible.
Milano’s Odd Job Collection es un juego de simulación, desarrollado originalmente por Westone y lanzado en julio de 1997 para la PlayStation, solo en Japón. El título nos presenta a Milano, una joven de 11 años que deberá valerse por sí misma durante las vacaciones, teniendo que tomar una variedad de trabajos de medio tiempo y conseguir dinero, mientras se queda en la casa de su tío, quien ha tomado sus vacaciones fuera.
Para esta ocasión, el título recibe por primera vez un lanzamiento occidental, recibiendo además una serie de mejoras de calidad de vida, soporte para resoluciones modernas, trofeos y logros, estados de guardado, función de rebobinado y textos localizados en Inglés, con opciones de audio tanto en Japonés como en Inglés.
A continuación, se presenta la descripción oficial en Inglés del título, procedente de su página en Steam:
School’s out, but 11-year-old Milano’s mom needs to go to the hospital and Milano is sent to spend the summer with her uncle. There’s one small problem – her uncle is away on vacation! Left on her own, Milano decides to make the most of her situation by taking up a variety of part-time jobs in town. Over the next 40 days, Milano goes all in – delivering pizzas, nursing sick patients, milking flying cows, and more – to make this summer unforgettable. And maybe she can spruce up her uncle’s place and have some fun while she’s at it.
Previously only available in Japan, this charming classic delivers cute Japanese nostalgia to worldwide audiences for the first time!
Milano Meets the World
Full English text and voiceovers bring Milano’s pixel-art adventures to a whole new audience. Fans can rest assured that the original Japanese is also available, complete with all-new English subtitles.
Make Your Home Away from Home
Rest and relaxation are important for work-life balance. Milano can style the house with new furniture and decor instead of going into work, and at night she can enjoy quiet time inside with her uncle’s cat, stargazing from her bedroom, and making use of items purchased with her hard-earned wages.
It’s Not Work if You Love to Do It
Help Milano earn money in eight unique mini games, including curing diseases as a nurse, catching falling fruits in an orchard, and more. Enrich Milano’s skill, mood, and energy in the evenings to unlock more odd jobs and higher difficulty levels. The tougher the challenge, the bigger the payday!
Nostalgic Gameplay, Modern Conveniences
The charm and gameplay of the original release are intact, but improved load times, save states, and a rewind feature help update this classic title for modern audiences.
