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.
TVGB: The title of this story seems like a pretty obvious statement to almost any gamer out there, especially those of us with Wii's who want the system to have a more robust online feature set. However, the difference between the community bitching about the matter and a developer actually coming out and saying their not getting enough support is monumental. That latter happened just a few hours ago at EA's Bloggers Day for The Sims franchise.
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.

EA Casual Entertainment president Kathy Vrabeck has confirmed to investors that next-gen versions of the publisher's The Sims franchise are to begin production within three years. In the more immediate future EA will release MySims Kingdom for Nintendo DS and Wii before the year end along with a PC version of MySims. During the publisher's fourth quarter (January 2009-March 2009) the Wii and DS will also see the release of MySims Party.
MySims was released on Wii and Nintendo DS a couple of weeks ago, and has been doing quite well to boot. In keeping with the games' theme of helping out others, EA have been generous enough to commission a set of accessories inspired by the games with all proceeds going to the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.

Looks like they will get an opportunity to tour their campus in Redmond, California as well as get some hands on time with the final build of the game and meet some of the developers of the title. Here is a look at the day's agenda:
GameBrink.com reports: The new issue is out and boy did this promising title take a pummeling. It looks like they targeted it a bit too much towards teenage girls like in the recent Japanese TV Commercial... Please note that this reported score is yet to be confirmed.
