From my gameplay experience so far, it was okay, pretty decent party sim game.
Basically Pretty Princess Party somewhat like Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer with mini games on it.
The main objective in that game are reviving the kingdom castle by decorating the vacant rooms with specific furniture category, playing mini games, unlocking furnitures from 3 different categories (Cute, Elegant & Cool), fancy up with princess outfits and make up, do the requests, etc.
The minor complain from me was the frequent of Loading screen.
The game was developed by Nippon Columbia, well known for Japanese girly games on NDS and 3DS.

Q : If you could ask the Xbox boss any question at all, what would it be?

My answers:
1. Will you make a new variant of Series X that can play ALL XBOX and XBOX 360 games including Kinect games and DDR by disc emulating, NOT by licence updates ? (Just insert the disc and play)
2. Could you provide more kiddie / girly games exclusively for Series X ?
3. Could you provide more physical release for digital only games?
4. Could you provide another unique way to play Series X games like Wiimote or Kinect ?
5. Could you revive XBOX LIVE for XBOX Classic so we can get the old DLC for XBOX Classic?

Konami suddenly screwed up when they released DDR 2010 version for PS3, XBOX 360 and Wii.
I remembered when Konami have released first trailer of new DDR for PS3 and XBOX 360 by using DDR Hottest Party songlist added with new songs, it was brilliant idea until they scrapped that idea and release the new DDR with same interface from the first trailer (but with green color schemes) on DDR X2 Arcade. Instead, they release new DDR on 2010 with very unappealing Western licensed songs, very weak stepcharts, very few songlist amount and No Double mode + Edit Mode after Konami did really well and professional on DDR Ultramix 1 - 3 XBOX 360.

Konami is still making new DDR games on Arcade, the latest was DDR A20+ and you need e-amusement card to unlock the hidden songs as they need to be cleared first before you unlock them.
It's sad, Konami seems don't want to provide their great games on consoles anymore. Instead, they still keep supporting Powerful Pro Baseball on PS4, Momotaro Dentetsu for Nintendo Switch.

But i will try get Original XBOX machine on year 2021 as actually i found there was a seller in my hometown who have Unmodded Original XBOX NTSC USA for sale, the right machine to play my DDR Ultramix games.

Well, i still give some chance for XBOX and XBOX 360, though i only can consider very few games that really suitable with my taste.
I already purchased some games of XBOX and XBOX 360, my first time ever. 😀

Okay, the reasons i voted All F for every Xbox Series X aspects because i was totally brutal honest with what i found from Series X so far.
I felt disappointed, Series X looks like copy paste of XBOX ONE with more power and more ridiculous machine design.
I like XBOX 360 Jasper model as it was the most beautiful XBOX machine looking in my opinion. Original XBOX and XBOX ONE have way much better machine design than Series X. I really like the White color of XBOX ONE Slim. In contrary, Series X machine design looks like my speaker box LOL.

I remembered if Microsoft created Super Lucky's Tale on XBOX ONE.
Used to be it was XBOX ONE Exclusives until Microsoft ported and upgraded the whole game and called New Super Lucky's Tale to Nintendo Switch, PS4 and XBOX ONE (again), it was no longer XBOX ONE Exclusive.
Since it was not Exclusive to XBOX ONE anymore, i picked the Switch version and not consider the XBOX ONE as i can play it anywhere in handheld mode and without online checking.

So far, from XBOX ONE itself i only interested by Kinect Disneyland, Kinect Rush Disney Adventure and Zoo Tycoon.
Just only 3 games, Nothing else and all of them are actually Remastered version from XBOX 360 with addition normal controller play for both those Kinect games. I don't want to buy XBOX ONE just only to play those 3 games. It just wasting a lot of money.

I will not consider any multi console games (example LEGO games, PAW Patrol, Cars 3, etc) on XBOX ONE version since i can get them easily from Switch or PS4 / PS5 version.

I'm still waiting Microsoft drop their ego and start to make another Girlie / Kiddie games just like Nintendo did. Microsoft already did for Kinect games and it was pretty good, i actually like it but too bad Microsoft stop supporting Kinect games.
I will eat my words when i see plenty cute, kiddie and cartoonish games by Microsoft (not by 3rd party developers) on XBOX Series X.

I will start my new experiences from XBOX and XBOX 360 only, the machines that i have never before playing.
At least i still consider them as alternative addition.
Sorry for my rant about XBOX ONE and Series X but i saw nothing interesting from those machines.

I voted ALL F scale for every single things of XBOX Series X.
No Backward Compatible with Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix and Universe series, Hello Kitty game, Kinect games, Casual games from XBOX and XBOX 360.

No Exclusive 1st party kids games like Nintendo on XBOX Series X, No girly and Kinect games by Microsoft anymore.

Not interesting at all with Gamepass, Xbox Gold, etc. I play my games in 100% physical, No digitals at all.
Don't even care in the slightest for cheper price. I want expensive one in physical rather than dirt cheap digital or streaming only games.

XBOX ONE was Blah, Series X was even Blah for me.
XBOX and XBOX 360 are my decent choices because i already have the games but don't have the machines yet.
Beside, i consider both XBOX and XBOX 360 games as my snacks while Nintendo and PlayStation machines are my main course, meaty and juicy.

Yes, of course. 😀
I'm positive like Girly games, DDR and Kinect games.Totally positive because i also have another girlie games on Nintendo machines such as Cooking Mama NDS & 3DS, Imagine series NDS, Style Savvy 3DS, AKB48 + Me 3DS, JS Girls Doki Doki Model Challenge 3DS, Maho Cole Mahou Idol Collection 3DS, Hannah Montana the Movie PS3, Para Para Paradise PS2, etc. Nothing wrong for a 36 years old man playing girly games with pinkish color, fashion things, cutesy things, upbeat Eurobeat songs, rainbow and cupcakes, etc.
Also, i have quite a lot Dance Dance Revolution games on PS1, PS2, Wii, XBOX and XBOX 360.

My PlayStation machines are White and Blue color (PS2 Slim Japan White, PS2 Fat USA White swapped, PS3 Slim White, PS4 Slim White, PSP 3000 Blue ).
My PS2 Fat USA was originally Black color, but i asked the video games repairman to swap the body shell with White color.

My four Nintendo 3DS XL machines are White (1 Pink White Old 3DS XL, 2 Pearl White New 3DS XL USA & Japan, 1 White Black New 3DS XL PAL Fire Emblem edition)

My Wii also White color, except my Wii U is Black color. I still haven't cover my Wii U and the Gamepad with other color shell.

My Nintendo Switch Joy Cons are White and Neon Blue, but the dock and body tablet are still Black color. But later i will swap the Black dock with White dock ACNH edition. Adios Black color.

I don't like the cuboid shape from XBOX Series X. Looks very horrible and unattractive. PS5 Fat looks way more stylish with White and Black color schemes, looks like a White jacket and Black shirt.
Also, i don't even like Black color from XBOX series X. I want White color and always White color rules because i want my video game consoles looks like kid toys with White color and some of my pictures i pasted on it.

My XBOX and XBOX 360 games maybe niche for some peoples but they are my BEST games i can choose since i am a huge fan of Dance Dance Revolution games. You will never understand how deep is my love for Dance Dance Revolution games.
I have dedicated my life to play DDR for 17 years and still keep playing DDR no matter what situation will be.
I have memorized the stepcharts of 3 DDR songs and could play them without seeing any arrows, yet i still remember those stepcharts despite long time no play DDR during pandemic.
I have managed to obtain AAA scores for some songs, the highest score on DDR games with achievement between 99% - 100%.
I'm very serious with my dedication for DDR, no joking.
I have interest with Casual games too like Wii Sports or Wii Play so i picked some Kinect games that suitable with my taste.

I'm totally fine to not consider XBOX ONE and Series X, definitely not a good machines to play DDR, Kinect games, Girly games and Casual games. I just only play those kind of games, nothing else.

I will not consider to play my XBOX and XBOX 360 games on XBOX Series X for 3 reasons :

1. The machine design and color scheme itself in my opinion looks atrocious. What the heck was Microsoft thinking about ?

2. The Online checking and licence updates are killing my interest. No thanks, i want disc emulating based Backward Compatible like playing Wii games on Wii U directly by inserting the disc.
XBOX ONE and Series X still have NO BC with All my XBOX and XBOX 360 games because they are DDR, Kinect games and Casual games, they are not really famous but i really like them. Microsoft don't like my games choices as Casual gamer so i will not buy XBOX ONE and Series X.

3. The price of the machine is really cut throat. No deal for a price tag as expensive as the newest Apple tablet.

I will consider two machines only (XBOX and XBOX 360) and it's done, no more following next XBOX machines. Next XBOX machines still not allowing me to play DDR, Kinect games, Hello Kitty game, Barbie games, Casual games by Backward Compatible.
I already have 7 Nintendo games (GBA, NDS, 3DS, Gamecube, wii, Wii U, Switch) and 5 Sony games (PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, PSP) and they are my main video games.
XBOX games are just only little addition for my collections, as minor part.
