MySims: Kingdom

MySims Kingdom is an upcoming simulation game for the Wii and for the Nintendo DS, developed by EA Redwood Shores and published by EA Games. It is a follow up or sequel to MySims, using a fairytale/medieval theme. Its release is planned to be in the Fall of 2008. It has been said that characters from the previous game will return in MySims Kingdom, in addition to plenty of new characters.

New Features
In a IGN.com interview many new features were explained, such as no more boring loading screens: a big complaint from the original MySims. Whenever a loading screen would normally appear, an interactive cut scene will begin and the loading will happen in the background. Some other new features explained were that Kingdom will now have much a better frame rate than the first one had, resulting in smoother animation. The graphics have also been said to be significantly improved.

Another new improvement was the inclusion of the new building editor. Instead of going to a workshop, as the player did in the original MySims, players can now enter building mode anywhere in the game, during which the player's character will be shown. The player's Sim can now jump as well, to allow more interactivity to the game.
