The latest instalment of EA’s MySims franchise – SkyHeroes – has been scheduled for release this autumn and is heading to Xbox 360 and PS3 for the first time, as well as the Wii and DS.
Kotaku writes: I was pretty disappointed with MySims for the Nintendo Wii. While it did allow me to create a digital mini-Crecente and guide him through a cute and colorful world, which has long been a dream of mine, I found it lacked a certain something.

During the publisher's fourth quarter (January 2009-March 2009) the Wii and DS will also see the release of MySims Party.
