New MySims games headed to Wii, DS

MySims Party and MySims Racing due later this year
EA will release two new MySims games, MySims Party and MySims Racing, on Wii and DS later this year.

"When we created the MySims world, we believed that the MySims characters could be part of a variety of different gaming experiences," said MySims production executive Tim LeTourneau.

"We believe that MySims Party and MySims Racing, are great ways to couple the creativity and humour players love about the franchise with great multi-player arcade gameplay."

Here's the official blurb on each game, although you could just watch the movies, below, instead.

MySims Party for Wii
MySims Party turns any gathering into an instant party with 50 mini games to choose from, each hosted by a different MySim. You and your friends have the chance to Stick the Trick in the extreme snowboarding mini game, outrun a robot in Robo Assault or shake your groovey thing with DJ Candy during the Go Go Dancing challenge. Each MySim character brings a unique combination of skills to the mission, with differing levels of endurance, speed and luck giving you the option to choose the best MySim for the task. You can play mini games one right after the other, or you and your friends can compete in a themed festival such as food, music or sports that offers multiple mini games.

MySims Party for DS
Take the mini games with you! MySims Party for the Nintendo DS offers 40 mini games to choose from. These games, specific for the DS, offer hours of entertainment. You can dig up dinosaur fossils during Excavate-a-Saurus, join Goth Boy on a first person shooter mission during Haunted Hunted or rock out with Air-Guitar-Star!

MySims Racing for Wii
Race to the finish line in MySims Racing! Face a variety of tricky MySim opponents on a huge variety of exotic tracks! Take on up to three friends in intense multiplayer racing. During your race, find awesome power-ups such as the heat-seeking jack-o-lantern pumpkin or a bubble dropper that can help you wreck the competition. There are nearly endless customization options so that your car reflects your high-gear personality. You can swap bodies, change paint jobs and add tons of accessories. Not only can you change the look of your car, you can also improve power, acceleration and handling by mixing and matching engines, suspension and tires.

MySims Racing for DS
Take the race with you! MySims Racing for the Nintendo DS allows you and up to three of your friends to race each other using local wireless or Nintendo Wi-Fi.

Oh great the only new games EA announce are these? What hope do we have left in this world!

The first one looks a little rubbish to be honest and probably for 3 year olds as the age thing says at the beginning of the vid and the My Sims Racing looks like Mario Kart Wii in a different graphical light. Why are they ripping off mario kart so much? Why not design a new racing game.

Edit: Sorry missed some letters, typing so fast haha! Thank you for the pointers!

Because that takes effort.

Mario Party and Mario Kart anyone?

At least if they make a good racing clone it could turn out to be not so bad.
