SimCity Creator brings urban erection to Wii, DS
22
Since it's abundantly clear that we need to grow up, allow us to tell you about our dream of becoming city planners -- nay, creators! -- as soon as we reach adulthood. According to the latest issue of Japan's Famitsu magazine (as translated by the men of IGN), SimCity Creator will prove to be the ideal training tool. First announced in February of this year, the Wii game allows puerile planners such as ourselves to draw rivers or tracks (inevitably shaped like genitalia) with the Wiimote in the construction of our virtual cities.
You'll be able to change the style of your buildings, with options including European, Chinese and Indian designs. Apparently, you can also opt for buildings made of crystal or candy. You'll be wanting to show those off to your friends via the game's city-sharing Wi-Fi Connection feature, shortly before you inflict a hilarious cataclysm upon your potentially edible metropolis. That's always been our favorite part of city planning.
The game is currently expected to hit Japan in September. We'll let you know as soon as EA unveils its plans for other regions. Update: SimCity Creator will be available on the Wii and Nintendo DS on September 22, 2008 in North America and on September 19, 2008 in Europe and Asia-Pacific regions.

You just wanted to say "erection" and I'm just posting this because I wanted to say "erection"

I can't help myself. When the word erection is used about a game on the Wii, I just became 'that guy' in the office that cracks up at his computer..thanks.
Anyway, this is cool, I always loved playing some Sim City, could be a nice break from my more rigorous gaming what with GTA IV still around.

Nothing probes an urban design quite like the attack of giant robot. We should have Giant Robots simulacrums more often.

You have to sacrifice a lot of detail going from high resolution 2D to 3D if you want it to run. I've got a pretty highend computer and SimCity 4 still runs choppy sometimes. Maybe because I only build large cities. I dunno. But yes, the crystal and candy cities look awful.

Looks to me by the picture that it's coming out for the Wii and the Sega Genesis.

I'm not a Sim-City fan and on any other occasion I would have skipped the story, but the headline was just to eye catching LOL. Not sure about the word choice, but heck, you got my attention LOL.
