Electronic Arts has taken the lid off of MySims, a new game in The Sims franchise developed for the Wii and Nintendo DS. In MySims, players begin by creating their own toy-like sim that reflects their personal style and attitudes, including accessories and hairstyles - new styles of sims can be unlocked through playing.
MySims moves the player to a delightful but disorganized town where 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, patterns and tools, players can design furniture and appliances, architect new homes and businesses, and re-define the the game's landscape.
As players explore and build up the town, they will get to know other residents such as Mayor Rosalyn P. Marshall and hotel bellhop Buddy. Once things start to look up, they'll meet and choose from a variety of other residents, and will be able to decide on what to build, and for whom. Examples offered by EA including being able to build a restaurant for Gino Delicioso the Italian Chef, or helping Ocean Breeze set up his Yoga studio.
For a better idea of the game's style, check out its
official website. MySims is expected to launch this fall, though it is unknown if both versions will launch simultaneously, or if this game will finally bring the much anticipated Wii/DS interoperability and connectivity that has, until now, remained purely speculation.

I think my girlfriend will buy this, then disappear from real life as she juggles both MySims and Animal Crossing.
Oh, if only!

If EA get it wrong, it will disappear, a curiosity for archaeologists to ponder a thousand years hence.
If EA gets it right though... Well, I think BTP put it best:

I personally can't wait, it looks like fun. Hope it gets some good online features...
Yeah though, this is going to sell big.
I'd love a game like this that was patterned after the Wii style.
I really don't see Miis going much of anywhere outside of certain Nintendo-produced games.
HOT.
:winky:
Just imagine when her and her friends get wind of 4 player DDR on Wii.
I don't really like the character design.
Yes. The supplied link is for the English website, while a Japanese one has existed for about a couple months. The announcement, the site, and the article in NP all point to "yes" for a US release.
I think the character designs are cool, personally, partially because they kind of resemble a combination of Kubrick and Pinky Street figures.
That's pretty much the same way I feel. They should just replace the Miis with theese. I mean these. They're adorable.
I'm pretty sure you can. After all, its called "Mii and the town of Sims" in Japan.
No, it's "Boku to Sim no Machi" as in just "Me and Sims' Town" (or perhaps more equivalent to "Me and the Sims"). The title uses "boku" as in simply "me" or "I."
Miis don't have anything to do with the game.
Simple for sure. It has a doll like look to it.
Plus, screenshots almost always make game visuals look much worse than they really are.
Still, it'll probably look better when it hits the streets.
This makes me really curious about the new Animal Crossing.
This may sound like a cool idea at first, but think about it. You'd have to keep a room ready for him in case he decides to drop by. His toothbrush would be there in your bathroom, and you might use it by mistake one braindead morning. You'd always feel weird inviting Lady Company over in case you get back and he's there, watching some weird Belgian porn or something (and I bet he leaves the toilet seat up, which will undoubtedly irk the ladies). He is a creative genius but I bet to compensate for this he's a total arse to be around.
From what I've read, while the game seems to be sort of a combination of Animal Crossing, The Sims, and to some extent Sim City, it does still have the meeting people and forming relationships aspect that's key for The Sims.
It's about time the combined SimCity and The Sims. I just hope this game will have the content library and player-made add-ons capability that PC has.
Even here in G&T, the most Japan-centric of the PA subforums, I don't think that many people know what Kubricks or Pinky Street figures are.
I mean, if it's a Japanese Devteam, and EA are only publishing, then fair enough. But if we're looking at some US/Canadian/UK Division working on this then it's... well, it's Teen Titans, isn't it? Ultimatelt you end up with something which might look vaguely similar to Japanese, but is quite obviously just ripped off from a Japanese style. I think that the East will notice this, and they will ignore the game.
Which, I am sure, is not what EA are looking for. Judging by things they really want this to be Big In Japan.
wait, what? is there a new animal crossing in the works or are you just making a general statement?
I likes me that animal crossing, and I think this looks pretty ace to be fair.
