EA has lifted the lid on the latest game in the long-running SimCity franchise: SimCity Creator for Wii and𓆉 DS, out here on September 22 (and Sept 19 in UK).

"SimCity Creator is an open-ended, highly creative game with a sense of humour that allows players to utilize the distinctive gameplay aspects of the Wii and Ninten🅠do DS to create, 🍨enjoy and destroy epic cities," describes EA.

So, pretty much like previous SimCity games then, only in keeping with the mainstream appeal of Nintendo's latest hardware♊, EA promises this to be "the most accessible and light-hearted game from the Sim🐠City franchise," designed for "families and players of all ages".

The Wii game will pack 13 cities with themes from US and Asian locales, wi💛th ಞthe option to take a helicopter or plane for a flight over your city creation before the series-iconic disasters destroy it all.

The DS game takes on a historical theme, allowing you to build a city in ancient times, and evolve it through the middle ages, modern times and up to the🌺 present day.

Here are screens for theWiiandDSversions.
