- Kardde, on 10/12/2007, -3/+24You sure that's the Sims, and not Animal Crossing?
- birch25, on 10/12/2007, -6/+20why should the sims look the same forever? why shouldn't a sims game made for the wii take advantage of the mii feature? as far as i'm concerned, the more games that use my mii the better.
- Boor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11This isn't Mii style at all, its pretty much animal crossing, as others have said. Mii's arms arent even attatched to their bodies.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13well whatever it is, it doesnt look as good as any other Wii game ive seen so far
- pokemogu, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10You can see a Japanese word "シムたち" in a second image. It means "Sims".
- DiggityDugged, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12i don't know if i want Snickers or Milky Way more right now.
- hello_world, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3love the sims. love animal crossing. if this is true, then i'm really glad that EA didn't decide to do another straight port of the PC sims game.
- EvilOtto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3before nintendo does anything like this I'd like to see the mii's become a bit more customizable. right now I think the color palette and features are a bit limited.
- Seidoger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2In the first screenshot, it looks like the 2 girls at the bottom left are making out.
- nonesupplied, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I am POSITIVE that's Animal Crossing and not The Sims. The design pattern on the grass is something the first Animal Crossing had and also the way the tree looks with the apple just chilling there. There's no doubt in my head it's Animal Crossing and not The Sims.
- CardinalFang, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Those characters look more like those in Animal Crossing than anything else.
Now if EA were smart, they'd make a Sims game for Wii, add in your Mii, and then be able to customize it further from there, since customizing a Mii is quite limited. - monistat7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@streetstealth
tachi (たち) is a suffix used to pluralize when talking about people
kodomo - child / kodomotachi - children - modifiedbears, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2***** EA. I'll wait for Animal Crossing 2.
- Rickler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Japanese word for "The Sims" game is "ザ シムズ" (za shimuzu).
- macgabriel87, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2idk what you're smoking but the wii has good gfx on my hdtv. it looks so good i only use it on that my hdtv. and yes, im using composite cables. all you need to do is set the wii to 16x9 for it to look good
- nateabel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2How can you say that you think the screenshot is awesome, yet you are disgusted?
- adrocknaphobia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Except in AC, you are the only human. That screenshot is full of humans, not animals.
- Rorrim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2(don't)

Well, the developers can use what ever model they want, while using the data the user has entered to create similar looking models.
Personally, I hope this is true and think it's a splendid idea. - bakatrinh, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2This + online = I will buy right away and play all day long.
- Satanael, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3This + Wii's Interweb capability I think would make for a pretty sweet community-based game. It definitely won't be game of the year, but it looks cool.
- streetstealth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1”シムたち”
"Sim(u) tachi"
What's the "tachi" part mean? - LycoLoco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I call shenanigans on it being a Wii title. Those textures look way too similar to what's in Animal Crossing: Wild World to be a Wii game. I'm betting it's a DS title.
- Rell812, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Those don't really look like Miis...at all.
- destructoid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Disgusted, curious, and excited -- in that order.
- Ashkc88, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hey, I don't know about anyone else, but that would be pretty cool to see a game like the Sims on the Wii using the Wii-mote to point and click. Hopefully we see some RTS action on the Wii as well as some sandbox and simulation games. The Wii-mote opens up alot of possibilities for games for the console.
- nonesupplied, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Well, the Wii is gonna be online capable. I don't think it's too farfetched that this is a screen of many different people gathering together.
- upsidedork, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Curious, sure; though "disgusted" probably isn't the word I'd have picked. I wonder if it will be fun.
- Nelwolf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I like the Sims, but I'm adult and prefer to have an adult figure in the game. I'm not all the enthusiastic about playing as a child in a child's world.
- DDRSkata, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Except these are humans, and the article says "The Sims" in Japanese.
- riplikethat, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3'The Sims' and 'Awesome' doesn't go together.
- avktm, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3what are you talking about? its the best man
- Mugsleymug, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1animal crossing has animals not other people. althought yes, this obviously isn't the sims.
- fallenone05, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4OMG...I am...really...excited..about........this....game....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
- AmazingAndrex, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3I know that future Wii RPGs will use this instead of the monotonous character creation steps we see now. Also, this is proof of humanity's steps into gaming nirvana: the metaverse. Source:

Number two. - pipes27, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Killer app? What are you talking about. If there had to be a game labeled as the kiler app it might be out already. We all know what I'm talking about. Oh, and not to mention Super Mario Galaxy, Smash Brothers Brawl, insert awesome game here.
- Keropipi, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3destructoid is probably one of the worst sites on digg
stop posting articles if your server can't take the traffic - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -11/+2Sweet: The Sims + ***** graphics = Gamecube Sims!!!!!!
Edit:
Opps i meant Wii sims but its the same thing so no point in changing it. - lostboytexas, on 10/12/2007, -11/+0I finally just realized that Wii's are aimed at ***** simpletons. Those graphics are breathtaking!!! And from the people who brought us the dog simulator??? How do they keep rolling out the hits?!?!?
- seanthebond, on 10/12/2007, -27/+7This had better be BS because this is not what The Sims is supposed to look like.
I am really skeptical mainly because of the fact that there is no EA logo or anything on the pics. But who knows.


What is Digg?
