Marvelous PS1 title Milano’s Odd Job Collection coming west in 2025 for PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Switch, and PC

In 2025, the games publisher XSEED Games and developer Implicit Conversions plan to make the original PlayStation game “Milano’s Odd Job Collection” available for purchase on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. The companies officially announced this news.

Back in 1997, I eagerly awaited the arrival of Milano’s Odd Job Collection, a unique gaming experience that initially debuted only in Japan on July 1st. Unfortunately, it never made its way to the western world.

Here is an overview of the new release, via Implicit Conversions:

About

Summer’s here, but an unexpected turn of events has me staying with my uncle due to my mom having to go to the hospital. The twist? He’s off on a holiday! Finding myself in this predicament, I decide to seize the opportunity and turn lemons into lemonade. So, I embark on a whirlwind of part-time gigs around town. Over the next 40 days, I dive headfirst—from delivering pizzas, caring for sick folks, tending to… yes, you guessed it, flying cows (quite an adventure!), and much more—to ensure this summer is one for the books. Plus, if I can spruce up my uncle’s place and have a blast while at it, that’d be the cherry on top!

Originally exclusive to Japan, the delightful classic “Milano’s Odd Job Collection” is now available with a fresh English translation. With nostalgic pixel art and animations combined with distinct Japanese cuteness, this game offers a comforting experience filled with retro allure. Additionally, its transition to modern platforms brings quality-of-life enhancements, trophies and achievements, faster loading times, and of course, fully localized English dialogues, graphics, and voiceovers. This rediscovered and updated gem from the 32-bit era, appealing to both retro and casual gamers of all skill levels, is not to be overlooked.

Key Features

  • 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 essential after a hard day’s work. Milano can enjoy quiet nights inside with her uncle’s cat, stargazing from her bedroom, making use of items purchased with her hard-earned wages, or styling the house with new furniture and decor.
  • 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 intelligence and other parameters in the evenings to unlock 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.
