Sim City DS features Japanese castles |
Ó
Reticulating splines... Ah the joys of playing games from Maxis Software. Let us hope that Maxis, though it's only a private division of Electronic Arts, never loses that "Maxis touch".
Sim City was announced for the DS back in August of 2006 (and we went oooh and aaah over the Famitsu scan). A few screenshots followed a month after that. Now there's more news from Famitsu: the game features Japanese castles.
The ones we are familiar with are:
- venerable Himeji castle, one of the oldest structures from medieval Japan
- Nagoya castle, which was burned down in WWII but rebuilt in 1959
- beautiful Osaka castle, this author's personal favorite
- impressive Edo castle, of Chiyoda, Tokyo (formerly Edo of Musashi Province)
- Azuchi castle (if this is true, then the Sim City version is a reconstruction: to the best of our knowledge, the real Azuchi castle burned down during the lifetime of Tokugawa, and all you can visit now is the stairsteps)
- Morioka castle
February 22, 2007, is the release date for Sim City DS. In Japan. For now?
