Barbie Returns In 'Dreamhouse Adventures', Launching Next Month

I wish Oppenheimer makes a guest appearance so you can give him a total make-over.

Political culture war incoming!

I love that the cats and dogs actually join in with the activities. That doggo riding on the unicorn rocking horse is having the time of his life! 🐕

BARBIE...!!! 😃
I already knew the gameplay looks so cheap like mobile games. 😅

@Anti-Matter will be all over this!

Wait... Barbie's best friend is also called Barbie, who is a woman of colour nickname'd "Brooklyn"... but has the same surname as Barbies' parents? Barbie lore has gotten so complex since my kids were young. 😂 I'm here for it though. Glad Skipper is around, she always used to be the cool one in the media I'd read and watch with them back then. Looks like they made her a little younger & less alternative.

This looks SO good!!

My girls have the mobile version. I believe it has several IAP items. No mention in the article of the Switch version will have DLC instead or if everything is included.

The mobile version you have to pay a subscription for. I'd be interested in getting this if you get all content at one price (as I would if it was that way on mobile too).

Wanna see Barbie do some martial arts. All my Barbies were ninjas and super spies.

Teresa is now a science lover?

@samuelvictor I believe it’s meant to be a reference to the fact that Barbie herself can be purchased in different body types, facial molds, and skin tones…. But still as “Barbie”. With the first and most important of these variants being the standard African American Barbie.

In-universe, it seems they became friends because of the coincidences.

@Eel I was aware that all the different recent variations of body type, ethnicity etc are all called "Barbie" nowadays, but wasn't aware that they'd taken lengths to include this into the story canon too. In older media her friends had specific names and backstories, which made sense, but I can see why that would make the "traditional" Barbie be seen as the most important one, which they obviously are trying to minimise.

Thats a pretty cool way to make it work though - interesting! Thank you for letting me know that. Having her friend also be "Barbie Roberts" but giving her a nickname for the animated stuff makes a lot of sense, and I like the idea that its a coincidence but that's how they became friends, its a neat way to get round it. In the movie (which clearly isn't intended to be canon with the animated kids movies and books) every single female character is called Barbie. Which is funny, and satirises the toy line well, but also completely impractical from a long term story telling perspective.

Am I taking this mobile game intended to sell kids toys too seriously? Yes. Yes I am. But its cool to me nonetheless. As others have said, if this game has all the pay to win / microtransaction stuff included in a single price, I'd consider buying this. It looks cute.

Yeah don't use the gigantic success of the film or anything to ride on..make...whatever the hell this is instead. Makes total sense.

.....and of course the characters have that weird...mobile game style.

can we make it into a Mojo Dojo Casa House, or would that be against the whole point 🤔

@Joeynator3000 it is a mobile game, ported to Switch. So...

@SteamEngenius @Joeynator3000 the game is made for a very specific, and fairly popular, online show for kids.

It’s not a generic “Barbie” game, it’s a “Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures” game… so it looks that way… because that’s how the show looks.

Does it have horses? Has it never seen the Godfather?

35 euros (or pounds idk) for a mobile game ported to the switch?

I can't believe you all let this movie outperform Mario at the box office. I'm disgusted in every last one of you, simply disgusted. Miyamoto would be rolling over in his grave right now if, y'know, he were dead.

If the maker (MAXIS) of Sims made Barbie, that would be cool.

@Ryu_Niiyama
That's in the upcoming Princess Peach game

@Savage_Joe From what little I know about it, I don't think I'd like the agenda it pushes. Not to get all political or anything. Maybe the outcry is overblown, I dunno. I guess the only way to know for sure is to see it for myself, but I'm just kind of over the culture wars. I want the media I consume to be an escape, not add to the stress I already feel about today's tense political landscape.
