EA Play have announced that the lastest installment of EA’s best selling franchise, The Sims 3, is in development for Wii and DS and will be available this spring.
“We’re bringing players the best console and handheld game for The Sims franchise to date and are excited to offer a unique experience for all types of gamers on their platform of choice,” explained Sam Player, Executive Producer at EA. “Building on the unique traits system, living open neighbourhood, lifetime wishes and endless customisation options, we’ve tailored each platform of The Sims 3 with exclusive features to allow for even more control, creativity and connectivity.”
Exclusive to the Wii version, players will be able to enjoy an all-new beach town, featuring unique residents, traits, careers and lifetime wishes. There is also the all-new “Life Moments” game mode, where players can go head to head with friends to earn rewards.
The DS version will allow players to use the stylus to build homes as well as customise virtually everything from furniture to their Sims facial features. It will also feature a Story Mode where players control multiple Sims within a family, completing challenges to unlock additional items, buildings, landmarks and more.
The Sims 3 is expected to be available this spring and in addition to the Wii and DS versions, it will also be available for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
