Sims 2 Pets comes to Wii

News today confirms that EA are bringing their highly successful Sims 2 Pets game out on a Wii near you, so meow for joy!

There will be more than 22 dog and 15 cat breeds which the player can tweak to his or her heart's contentment, and point-and-click control using the Wii remote has been assured. This is good news for PC purists, who like their Sim gaming to feel like it does on their beloved PC.

A 'PC feel' version of The Sims 2 Pets on a console will be a bit of a first. Despite the fact that this title is already out on almost every format known to man, the game differs quite a lot on these other console formats, especially the DS where it uses the touch pen ability to create a totally different gaming experience. Don't get us wrong, this is a good thing. However, if so far you wanted your Sims action to feel the way it does when you firsty played it - on a PC - then today's announcement is for you. Point and click is very much bound to mice and pointers - something that only the Wii, PC and the Mac at this time can really offer in our view. The DS comes in very close with it's own innovative stylus controls, but the DS Pets version chose a different path. This Wii version will be the first real chance for PC gamers to experience a Sims game on a console that will 'feel' the same way it does when they played it on their PCs.

Planned for release on 22nd June 2007, Sims 2 Pets promises to bring laughter and fun to the Wii in the form of man's most adored furry friends.
