EA officially announces MySims - The Sims for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS consoles.

MySims introduces awfully cute characters (photo) that live in a town that you can build and populate during gameplay. Of course you can customize your MySims characters pig-tails and baseball caps to dreadlocks and Mohawks to make them even cuter thant they already are.

"We want MySims to provide a creative play experience like never before on a video game system," said Executive Producer Tim LeTourneau. "By giving players the tools to create literally any kind of world they want in MySims, we're reinforcing the idea that the players create the magic. 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! In MySims, what players make... makes all the difference!"

MySims will be available for the Wii and Nintendo DS platforms in fall 2007.
More details about MySims is available in the EA press-release and on the MySims site, which hosts a short preview movie.
