Electronic Arts (EA) has announced that they will be bringing everyone’s favorite simulation game MySims to the Nintendo DS and Wii. The new title will have special features designed for the Nintendo consoles.
About MySims:
- MySims introduces a charming cast of whimsical characters while delivering the creativity, customization and classic open-ended gameplay that has enthralled Sims gamers worldwide. Gamers begin by creating their own toy-like Sim that reflects their personal style and attitudes. From pigtails and baseball caps to dreadlocks and Mohawks, the options are endless and the style is unlike any Sims game to date. By unlocking cool new clothing, hairstyles and accessories, players explore the game’s incredible depth of customization and expression… and the characters are just the beginning!
- Transforming the traditional Sims gameplay for the Wii and Nintendo DS platforms, MySims moves the player to a delightful but confused town where, thanks to the easy and unique controls, they can re-shape everything and make it their own. The town is rundown, but the player can make it much more dynamic. Using a selection of building blocks, unique patterns and engaging creativity tools, gamers can make furniture and appliances, design new homes and businesses, and re-define the entire MySims landscape!
Tim LeTourneau,Executive Producer, MySims explains, “We want MySims to provide a creative play experience like never before on a video game system. By giving gamers the tools to create accurately any kind of world they want in MySims, we are reinforcing the idea that the players create the magic. Will the town support an excess of spooky, mysterious townsfolk – or buzz with the laughter and smiles of fun-loving Sims? It is your call! In MySims, what players make… makes all the difference!”
MySims for Nintendo DS and Wii will be developed in-house by EA and could release in late 2007. I just can’t wait to see how the new Sims will look on the Nintendo DS and Wii, as both have unique controllers, touch screen for the handheld and the Wiimote for the next-gen.
