Publisher XSEED Games and developer Implicit Conversions have announced that the original PS1 title, Milano’s Odd Job Collection, will be released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC via Steam in 2025.
Milano’s Odd Job Collection was released for PlayStation on July 1, 1997 in Japan and never made it to the West.
Check out a description:
School’s out, but 11-year-old Milano’s mother has to go to the hospital, and Milano is sent to spend the summer with her uncle. There’s just one problem: Her uncle is on vacation! Left alone, Milano decides to make the most of her situation by taking on various part-time jobs around town. Over the next 40 days, Milano will pour her heart into everything—from pizza delivery and caring for sick patients to milking flying cows and more—to make this summer unforgettable. Maybe she’ll even give her uncle’s house a makeover while having some fun along the way.
Previously available only in Japan, this charming classic now launches with a new English localization. Featuring nostalgic pixel art and animations blended with signature Japanese cuteness, Milano’s Odd Job Collection offers a cozy experience brimming with retro charm. Modern platforms bring quality-of-life upgrades like trophies/achievements, faster load times, plus fully localized English text, graphics, and voice acting. With its high replay value, endearing characters, and gameplay for all skill levels, this revitalized 32-bit gem is a must-play for retro enthusiasts.
