Summary
Some new evidence pointing to the existence of a Nintendo Switch version ofMySimshas emerged online. This turn of events further strengthens the possibility of the classicWiigame making a comeback in the near future.
MySimsis aSimsspin-offthat was originally released for the Wii and 3DS in September 2007. Just ahead of its 14th anniversary, several retailers published listings for the Switch version of the game in late August 2024.
MySims Switch Version Appears on EA’s Website
Shortly followingthisMySimsSwitch port leak, another reference to the unannounced game was spotted on Electronic Arts' official website. The listing was unearthed by Reddit user Jvvjarj, who found it while browsingEA’s Switch catalog page, whereMySimscan be found at the very bottom, right next to the 2018 platformerFe. The thumbnail used for the game matches its original cover artwork from 2007.
While the rest of the listings on this site contain links to their respective games' official websites, theMySimsentry simply redirects users to theSims 4pages. Likewise, although the other entries are listed alongside their dedicated support pages, theMySimsone only contains a link to the EA Help portal homepage. Game Rant was unable to locate any cached mirrors of the website that would help narrow down when exactly this prematurely published entry went live. The previously leaked retailer listings have both suggested thatMySimswill get aphysical release on the Nintendo Switch, in addition to launching via the eShop. They also attached a €49.99 price tag to the unannounced game, which will presumably translate to $49.99 stateside.
IfMySimsis indeed poised for a comeback on Nintendo’s hybrid console, its release is bound to expand the already vast selection ofhigh-quality life simulation games on the Switch. Yet this particular title still wouldn’t really scratchThe Simsitch on the Switch, as it’s significantly different compared to the mainline series entries; rather than focusing on managing characters' needs, wants, and aspirations, the game plays much more like anAnimal Crossingtitle, as it focuses on decoration, relaxation, and fulfilling simple neighbor requests. Its chibi characters and heavily stylized visuals even make it resemble anAnimal Crossinggame.
Who exactly might be in charge of theMySimsSwitch version is currently unclear. The original game was developed by EA Redwood Shores, later known as Visceral Games, which has been defunct since October 2017. But theMySimsNintendo DS port was made by the game development outsourcing powerhouse Tose Software, a Japanese company that is still keeping busy as of 2024.
