After
rumours and a Japanese
presentation, there is now more official confirmation regarding a Sims title for Nintendo's Wii: MySims will be available for both the Wii and the DS later this year. According to the press release announcing the title the game will deliver the "
creativity, customization and classic open-ended gameplay that has enchanged Sims players worldwide." After creating your own toy-like Sim, reflecting your personal style and attitudes, dressing them up with pig-tails and baseball caps to dreadlocks and Mohawks, you start unlocking new clothing hairstyles, accessories and more. That's just for the characters - you start off in a "
delightful but disorganized town" where it'll be your task to get things reorganized and make the town more dynamic. You can design furniture, appliances, new homes and businesses using a selection of building blocks. Some of the characters you'll meet are Mayor Rosalyn P. Marshall, hotel Bellhop Buddy, Gino Delicioso the Italian Chef and Ocean Breeze, who wants to set up his own Yoga studio. You can make Gino an oven, or put a roof on Buddy's hotel - all these tasks will help the town grow. Executive producer Tim LeTourneau says the goal of MySims is to "
provide a creative play experience like never before on a video game system. By giving players the tools to create literally any kind of world they want in MySims, we're reinforcing the idea that the players create the magic. Will the town support a plethora of spooky, mysterious townsfolk - or buzz with the laughter and smiles of fun-loving Sims? It's your call! In MySims, what players make... makes all the difference!" MySims is the first in a new line of Sims products, developed by the Sims Division, for both Nintendo Wii and DS. More information, including an English version of the trailer seen in Japanese
before, can be found at
MySims.com. There are three new screenshots as well, which you can see below. For more details read the
press release and the
