XSEED Games Brings Milano’s Odd Job Collection to Nintendo Switch in 2025

XSEED Games Announces Milano’s Odd Job Collection Heading to Nintendo Switch in 2025 XSEED Games has revealed that Milano’s Odd Job Collection, the beloved pixel-art classic previously exclusive to Japan, is being developed for the Nintendo Switch.

Working in collaboration with Implicit Conversions for emulation and porting, this marks the first time that this charming life-simulation title will be available to a global audience.

The announcement represents another step in XSEED Games’ continued efforts to bring niche Japanese titles to Western players, adding to the Nintendo Switch’s already robust retro-gaming catalog on the Nintendo eShop. First launched on the original PlayStation in Japan, Milano’s Odd Job Collection places players in the shoes of 11-year-old Milano, whose mother’s sudden hospitalization leads to an unexpected summer journey.

Instead of spending time with her uncle, who is away on vacation, Milano is left to explore the town, taking on a variety of part-time jobs over a 40-day period.

Her adventures include everything from pizza delivery and tending to sick patients, to quirky tasks like milking flying cows, all of which contribute to an unforgettable summer experience. Reflecting on the new release, XSEED Games outlined the extensive enhancements being introduced for the Nintendo Switch version.

The port will feature improved visuals supporting modern resolutions, fully localized English text alongside original Japanese language options, and dual audio with both Japanese and English voiceovers.

The addition of save states and a rewind function brings modern conveniences to the retro gameplay, making it more accessible to contemporary audiences.

Fans can also look forward to faster load times and quality-of-life improvements rooted in community feedback. Key features announced by XSEED Games include: - **Complete Localization**: For the first time, Milano’s Odd Job Collection will offer full English subtitles and voice acting.

Players may also choose to experience the original Japanese audio with new English subtitles. - **Home Customization and Relaxation**: Outside of working, Milano can personalize her temporary home with new furniture and decorative items.

Evening activities include stargazing, spending time with her uncle’s cat, and enjoying items earned through hard work, providing a well-rounded life simulation experience. - **Diverse Mini-Games**: Players can participate in eight unique mini-games, ranging from medical care and fruit picking to other quirky odd jobs.

As Milano develops her skills, higher levels of challenge become available, with more rewarding payouts for those ready to test their abilities. - **Modernized Retro Gameplay**: The classic appeal of Milano’s Odd Job Collection is preserved, while updated features such as save states, rewind options, and optimized loading times ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for players new and old. Milano’s Odd Job Collection will launch digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch in 2025.

The release is poised to introduce both longtime fans and new players to a unique, heartwarming adventure, further cementing XSEED Games' reputation as a top publisher for localized classics.
