When EA decided to adapt its lucrative Sims franchise for what they believed to be the core Nintendo demographic, they apparently did rather well. Not exceptionally well mind, but both MySims Wii and MySims DS are above average cute little games with lovely visuals and the trademarked doll-house gameplay. Sold decently too. Obviously though, that was not good enough, and that must be the reason behind the creation of MySims Kingdom, the latest installment in the MySims series that should appear some time during the autumn of 2008 for both the Wii and the DS.

MySims Kingdom (by the way, do bother looking at the screens posted above, they are quite nice and rather appropriately from the game) seems like a new direction to the series, as -according to EA- players will get to embark on adventures, explore stuff and generally try to bring joy and happiness to a whole bloody Kingdom. This of course involves quite a lot of journeying, talking to characters (even wizards), solving puzzles, tending to pigs, building houses, collecting… err… collectibles and at times fixing bridges. Oh, and in case you were wondering, the tried and tested gameplay of The Sims shouldn’t be lacking either… just given more substance really.
