“ANNO: Create a New World allows gamers to take the civilization building experience to the next level of fun and interactivity,” said John Parkes, marketing director EMEA at Ubisoft, “We’re pleased to be bringing the brand new, uniquely designed game to the Wii™ and Nintendo DS™ for the first time.”
Developed by Keen Games, ANNO: Create a New World takes place in 1404: King Georges’ land is suffering from droughts and famine. Aware of the distress of his citizens, the King decides to send his two sons, William and Edward to gain new territories in order to produce enough goods to satisfy the inhabitants. Whereas Edward suggests fighting to collect the precious resources, his brother, William offers a peaceful solution proposing to explore new and unsettled lands in the south of the Kingdom. With the agreement of his father, William heads to the South and discovers the mysterious orient culture.
Key Features of ANNO: Create a New World :
· Explore & create with fun and ease

o Learn from other cultures (Oriental, European…) & expand your horizons
All the controls are intuitive, the interface is fully adapted to the consoles’ gameplay
· Discover how to manage cities & societies
Be considerate, plan wisely and learn to manage resources
Satisfy the needs of your citizens and care for your society

Relax & build your cities in a rich and peaceful world
Play together with your family & friends and let them help you to create your world thanks to the 2-player co-op mode for Wii™ and the 4-player multiplayer mode on the Nintendo DS™
Looks pretty cool. Keen Games did outstanding job with Anno DS, so we can except good things from Wii version.
There is also trailer, but it not in proper circulation yet. Hypnotically inclined.

Anno (which is very popular here in Europe) is more like Settlers than Civilization. Your mission is to create colony into new world and make it prosper. You create working chains of industry, build buildings and roads, and trade goods with your neighbours. Although there isn't new technological advancements, when colonies grow in status, you can build more advanced buildings. Very nice game, although not really that challenging.
