MySims will be specially designed for the Nintendo’s Wii and DS consoles, with players creating their own toy-like Sim that reflects their personal style and attitudes.

“From pig-tails and baseball caps to dreadlocks and Mohawks, the options are endless and the style is unlike any Sims game to date,” a Nintendo press release said earlier today.

“By unlocking cool new clothing, hairstyles and accessories, players explore the game’s incredible depth of customisation and expression – and the characters are just the beginning!”

The action takes place in a delightful but disorganised town where – thanks to the easy and unique controls – players can re-shape everything and make it their own.

Players can socialise with the locals and uncover all sorts of useful and surprising treasures hidden throughout the town.

“We want MySims to provide a creative play experience like never before on a videogame system,” said executive producer Tim LeTourneau.

“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!”

MySims will be availble to buy in the autumn.
