Nintendo Wii and DS favorite MySims is reportedly coming to the Nintendo Switch.
Kotaku reported that a “remaster of MySims of sorts” is coming to Nintendo’s current hardware sometime in 2024, though couldn’t corroborate if an allegedly leaked release date of November 19 is correct.
Fans of the franchise on ResetEra first noticed myriad European retailers list a Nintendo Switch version of the game, which first appeared on Nintendo Wii in 2007. It’s unclear if this version, if real, is a full remake or remaster or something in-between.
MySims is a spin-off to the EA’s main life simulation game The Sims and tasks players with rebuilding a dilapidated town, attracting new residents, and decorating it to keep them all happy. It later came to Nintendo DS and spawned myriad subsequent entries itself, including MySims Kingdom, Party, Racing, Agents, and Skyheroes.
The last of these was released in 2010, meaning it’s been 14 years since EA last released a MySims game, but with The Sims 4 a decade old itself and The Sims 5 nowhere in sight, it perhaps wanted to inject some life into the franchise in the meantime.
MySims would be the first game in The Sims franchise to come to Nintendo Switch, with the franchise otherwise appearing on PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and seemingly everywhere but a Nintendo console.
