Not really, BUT, there is a version of SIM City (or, Will Wright's urine) coming to the DS (Japan only so far but..come on). Now if you don't already own a DS...seriously, the hell? Sim City on the go with touch screen controls.

Oh, and there's video (WARNING: PANTS ALERT!):

Is that Will Wright peeing at you? Yes. yes, it is.

    Between this, the CastleVanias, and the dirty rumors of Front Mission, Vandal Hearts, and SNK Vrs. Neo Geo CFC... the DS Lite is pretty much next on my list of things to buy once I am not a brokeass.

    I bought a GBA SP and got tired of spending $30 on $5 SNES games, so I sold it and bought a PSP and then got tired of spending $50 on $20 PS2 games, so I sold it as well. So now I will admit defeat and eventually buy a DS so I can spend $Texas on awesome games.

    Oh god! Is that Will Wright's face on the bottom screen, crying out for help in Japanese? The power of Nintendo's soul sucking DS lite has obviously captured the man!

    The best part was the random rolling blackouts and water shortages for no reason. Also I hope Capt. Sim's gonna be back.

    One of my favorite parts about SimTower (speaking of awesome games that need to be remade) was naming some of your sims and then checking up on them later. I hear that you could also do this in newer versions of SimCity, but the only one I played was the original.

    Hopefully you can create and keep tabs on sims in the new SimCity, because that would really stroke my God complex.

    Wow, they're really going on a Sim attack in Japan. First a Sims for the Wii, now SimCity DS. It'll be interesting to see how it does saleswise. I'd be more interested in hearing of a US release.

    Walk down the right back alley in Sim City, and you can find anything...

    Including a large headed Will Wright, apparently.

    I have to admit that this would be awesome if it came to the U.S. My experience with the game when it was on the PC was limited at best, and I never really had much of an opportunity to enjoy it. My only problem at this point is having to add another game to the list ( just beneath Phoenix Wright and Jump Super Stars) of many DS games I still need to purchase.

    Doesn't EA own Maxis now? And they've been saying for a while that they've been wanting to downplay their PSP projects and focus more on the DS. I would be very surprised if it didn't hit stateside, it seems like a surefire seller.

    Also, if it either doesn't hit the US, or the wait is really long, here's hoping that it's fairly import-friendly.

    Yes. Oh yes. I was recently playing the original again, and while it's a bit irritating to control at times, it's STILL fun and really different. I know that you can't expect ants and spiders to appeal to people like Sims and puppies, but c'mon! Simant was genius.

    I didn't play any other versions of the classic SimCity. The music, gifts, and Tops were irresistible. I still have my 500,000 city with the Mario statue saved on my cart.

    I second the motion to SimTower being remade. I played that game a hell of a lot more than I probably should have. Nothing as close to SimCity 2000 though.
