The Sims aren't ugly anymore... in Japan.
by Dale North, 11/25/2006

If you've ever played any version of the incredibly addictive game "The Sims", you've probably noticed the lanky, generic faced characters. They've become progressively better over time, but they're still not much to luck at. So, while the game is undeniably fun, the game has been somewhat ugly. That is, until now. EA has redesigned the game for Japanese audiences for the Nintendo Wii. Characters have been transformed to a cuter, more chubby anime style, and the game interface has been overhauled for control with Wii's remote. Easier to look at and play? Sign me up!
