MySims, the unexpectedly decent The Sims spin-off that first hit Nintendo platforms back in 2007, is reportedly heading to Switch “soon”.
MySims, in case you’re unfamiliar (which would be perfectly understandable given that it’s now a frankly upsetting 17 years old), initially released on Nintendo Wii and DS. Developed by Dead Space studio EA Redwood Shores, it presented players with a vaguely Animal Crossing-like take on The Sims which successfully managed to be about as far removed from the actual Sims as you could possibly get without entirely changing genres.
It tasked players with redeveloping a run-down town, attracting new residents, building them homes, and then furnishing them using items crafted from blueprints, in turn gained from helping residents and bolstering your relationship with them. “MySims is pretty much perfect for what it is,” Eurogamer contributor Keza MacDonald wrote of the Wii version back in 2007. “At once accessible and complex, kid-friendly and adult-pleasing, and full of personality.”
