SimAnimals™ Announced.

The all-new SimAnimals establishes a whole new category of wild animal games, made exclusively for the Wii and the Nintendo DS.

Now, for the first time players can engage with the wild world of animals in their natural surroundings in an immersive and tactile way. In this game you are challenged to engage, touch, move and try to control more than 60 animals as you journey deeper and deeper into the forest. You control an on-screen animated hand that allows you to reach out and touch, pick up and move everything in the game from foxes and bears to trees and flowers. Cohabitate with these animals in their natural surroundings, and based on how you treat them, the animals will come to know and love  or dislike you! Have fun developing relationships with wild animals and their families, and experience the humour and drama of surviving in the wilderness.

Rod Humble, Head of Studio for The Sims Label had this to say:
"SimAnimals opens up a new world of creativity with wild animal adventure, fun and mischief. For the first time in an animal game, you can reach out and touch, engage and play with a huge cast of wild animals in their natural surroundings. SimAnimals offers an immersive and tactile experience using the Wii remote and the Nintendo DS stylus that allows you to easily and intuitively become part of the woods expressive, quirky and sometimes surprising narrative. Classic story-telling about wild animals comes to life in SimAnimals."

In SimAnimals on the Wii, take up to three of your friends with you on a forest adventure in cooperative play mode! The forest, filled with exciting wildlife, is big enough for you and your pals.

SimAnimals is tailored for the Nintendo DS. Use the stylus to orchestrate your wild animals and their environments!
