MySims Agents spy on Wii, DS
By
Tom Magrino
New installments in EA Play's kid-friendly Sims franchise heading to Nintendo's platforms this fall.
MySims fans will certainly have a lot to keep them busy in 2009. Following the publisher's reveal of MySims Party and MySims Racing in January, EA's Play label announced today that MySims Agents will ship for the Wii and DS worldwide this fall.
;)
On the Wii, MySims Agents will play similarly to a traditional adventure game. Assuming the role of a MySims special agent, players attempt to unlock the mystery behind the nefarious doings of Morcubus, the leader of an underground crime syndicate. Players will be aided in their task by a variety of MySims characters as they perform detective work such as picking locks, hacking computers, and stalking persons of interest. MySims Agents also lets players plunder ancient ruins for antiquities with which to decorate their headquarters.
The DS edition of MySims Agents will feature a similar theme as its Wii counterpart, in which players must thwart the efforts of a ne'er-do-well who has been plundering ancient ruins in search of antiquities. Though EA did not delve into specifics of gameplay, the publisher did say that the DS game will offer 10 different minigames and a variety of interactions with MySims characters.
EA Play also confirmed today that MySims Racing will zip to the Wii and DS on June 16.

hmmmm this should be good but there taking this a little TOO far im scared too see whats next mysims family? o_O
MySims Theft Auto? That'd be a shame to the great franchise of GTA! The Wii actually needs a GTA. They can do it if they can made The Godfather Blackhand. So why not a GTA Wii(Only with San Andreas! YEAH!)
Probably the only intresting MySims game. Completly, over, hyped.
hmmm ... interesting idea ... but I hope for My Sims Theft Auto ...

Man, how many MySims are there?
Good for little kids I guess. They need some good titles to play as well. I just wish EA/Maxis would work on a Simcity 5 for the rest of us :(
nintendo's getting better every time :)
The Wii has opened up a new venue for Sims exploitation. Good work EA.
I love that your mission in the game is both to stop some evil agent from plundering ancient ruins AND to plunder for yourself.
Aaaaannnd this franchise is now officially over-saturated.
So many Sims games
EA.......after MySims Party you should've realized you've taken this 'franchise' too far...Now MySims Racing and MySims Agents? What's next MySims Music!? Give it a break!
But Gamespot... There are no MySims fans
Man...when are EA gonna realise that the MySims games just aren't fun anymore. Not that the first game was very fun in the first place...
I'm afraid I don't, Chin3se Pride...If you mean rent, then that's not very interesting.
I will play this game, but i wont buy it. If you know i mean
My God, we are going to get MySims games forever now aren't we.

Well, doesn't sound terrible, but...uhhhh...got milk?
