Electronic Arts is known for its successful franchises for the PC and consoles, such as Need for Speed, FIFA, and others. Now EA has announced that it has a diverse line-up of DSiWare titles. MySims Camera and Sudoku are available for download from the Nintendo DSi Shop, with original EA titles coming later this year.
“EA has fully embraced the Wii and the Nintendo DS, bringing custom-built DSiWare games to the Nintendo consumer is an exciting opportunity for us to reach DSi owners with easy to play games that they can download and play whenever they want,” stated Rod Humble, Head of the EA Play Label. “The lineup of games we have in development will appeal across the diverse DSi consumer base so whether players want to showcase their creativity and humor using MySims Camera or sharpen their math and word skills with Sudoku – our first games in the DSi Shop will deliver a quick and fun experience.”
MySims Camera is an application which allows you to take photos and overlay them with 3D MySims characters, which can be moved, rotated, cropped, scaled and animated. DSi owners can also draw on the photos using the stylus, or use the stamp tool to add art. The application also lets you save your photos to the camera album and share them with friends.
Sudoku has hundreds of number puzzles aimed at stretching the brain to its extremes. The game features a Newspaper Mode, which allows players to start their own collection. The game even features a number of grid designs, a stat tracking system and an in-game timer. Five different levels are available and range from Easy to Insane.
Further EA titles are in development including Downtown Texas Hold’em and more unannounced original titles, and will be available later in the year. We don’t have any word on pricing yet.
