'MySims' returning to Nintendo platforms

EA's Sims spinoff MySims is to reappear on Nintendo platforms this year, with two new titles in the pipeline.

MySims Racing and MySims Party are due for release on both the Wii and the DS. The former is a multiplayer racer and the latter a collection of mini-games.

"We believe that MySims Party and MySims Racing, are great ways to couple the creativity and humour players love about the franchise with great multiplayer arcade gameplay," said executive producer Tim LeTourneau.

The casual series first rose to prominence with the original MySims and MySims Kingdom in October 2008.
