Compared to previous Sims titles, MySims has a more cartoonish and anime-inspired look, with chibified character designs. They are modeled after the popular Japanese dolls Pinky Street. This was Emmy Toyonaga’s idea; in Official Nintendo Magazine she remarked: “Well, Mario and other Nintendo characters are pretty short and stubby. Also, being Japanese, I’m used to the mindset that fun games should have shorter, stubbier characters. So these characters kind of came naturally”. In Nintendo Power, designer Robin Hunicke said that the character designs also imply youthfulness, and that the aesthetic was chosen for world-wide appeal, while referring to the lesser sales of previous Sims games in Japan compared to other territories.

    Amazing! I think it may sell quite well but I want to see some reviews before I buy. Quite possibly another game that suceeds without good graphics. Good Mii integration too.
