[edit] The information has been taken out because it wasn't definite fact

I didn't even get the chance to copy any of it down, so thanks to the nitwit that did this, we now are back to square 1.



So... because it wasn't definite fact, it has to be taken down? "This article or section contains information about an unreleased computer or video game. It is likely to contain information of a speculative nature, and the content may change dramatically as more information becomes available " Why don't you go to the Halo 3 article, delete most of it, as it's just speculations? This is no different. 68.146.235.206 17:47, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Um... yes it is. The Halo 3 article was justified with sources. The most common source being other gaming magazines. This article however had no sources cited, and Hungry_Hippo basically described what he/she saw in the screenshots. He/she should have better understood the standards of encyclopedic content expected here before investing so much time on the article. And not only was the information unverifiable, some of the info included "shout outs" and "thanks" to other Gamespot members. Wikipedia is NOT a bulletin board or a place to take credit. I understand that it seems unfair, and believe me, I've had to learn the hard way myself, but there are guidelines here which I feel obliged to uphold. With that said, I may include a gallery including all the currently released screenshots shortly (If I can figure it out). Cheers. Sillygostly 22:44, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Done. Sillygostly 22:50, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
You know what? If it is speculative information, it doesn't matter if it is sourced, you moron. Game magazine writers are regular people, and they are no more important than us. Plus, image galleries make it look more like a fansite than anything else.--Ihitterdal 01:20, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
It does matter. Otherwise Wikipedia would accept Original Research (so long as it was labeled as such), when it does not. It must still uphold the standards of an Encyclopedia. Game magazine writers may be regular people, but the game magazines themselves are a published source which are therefore verifiable sources. They may not have the facts right, but Wikipedia isn't the place to write up what you think something might be --- you write for the game magazines, and then Wikipedia can write it. Because Wikipedia, like any other Encyclopedia, are just repositories of knowledge from other places --- there's not supposed to be any original research here on Wikipedia - just the reporting of others' research already published.. -JC 01:49, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
So If I want to add my own especulative information I only need to first add in other place to be able to add to it? O_Ob This is nonsense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.56.237.246 (talk) 07:46, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chibified?

I'm wary of the statement about the design change just being because Japanese audiences are more used to "chibified" characters. Is that from an official source? If it's just speculation, I'd say the change is just as likely just to be part of the Mii integration —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.255.87.66 (talk) 21:30, 8 December 2006 (UTC).

I was going to change that sentence to say "this is due to Mii integration" or something like that, but Mii integration is mentioned a little further down, so I just removed that sentence altogether.--Dreaded Walrus 14:02, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
For what it's worth, the current issue of ONM (uk) has an interview with the team behind the game, which is worth a read. The character designer said that she went with the chibi look because (paraphrased) it's become a cultural stereotype in japan for the more laid back games (Mario, AC, etc). Sorry if i've screwed up with the comment - not posted to wiki before. 195.137.109.244 17:40, 17 February 2007 (UTC)somerrandomnub
And in an issue of NP, there was an image in the "next issue" section which depicted a chibi Sim when mentioning the game. - A Link to the Past (talk) 02:24, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] EGM lol

Monthly magazines typically have 1-2 months lead time, so the release date info from them is most likely outdated. A more recent interview placed the release for the fall. Eh, whatever. Tehw1k1 01:07, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I KNOW!! <3 It is on page.......... (Rapid filipping)............................................ page #71

[edit] Release Date

I saw in the E3 Live from GameSpot that EA announced , that the game would be released in September. magiciandude (Talk) (review) 21:28, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Indeed, and IGN lists the release date as September 18, 2007. --Brahman 04:08, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Multiplayer?

Since no one has mentioned anything about this, neither in the Wikipedia article or in previews for the game, I suppose there will be no multiplayer? Extremely surprising considering the game's platforms, the Wii and the DS (particularly the latter, WiFi centered device). 72.49.194.69 16:47, 25 July 2007 (UTC) Joshua

We don't mention anything about multiplayer here yet because we don't know. And we only know if a magazine knows. Even if a user here gets "inside information", we don't allow original research here, so you will only read about things here once they are already known. :) --Dreaded Walrus t c 17:38, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Well noted. Thank you for the responce. 72.49.194.69 22:16, 25 July 2007 (UTC) Joshua
No problem guy. :) --Dreaded Walrus t c 22:18, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Box Art

hey all should we change the box art i found the real boxart here MySims official website (the current one doesnt have a rateing)--KKXRS 05:44, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

  • The boxart at that site has a "rating pending" label; I've instead uploaded the final boxart with a standard rating on. Having said that, I've just noticed that the old picture did have something on which might have been the Australian rating or similar - if so, feel free to revert.

[edit] Release Date Confusion

IGN comfirmed the game to be released on the 18th while the commercial says it's coming out on the 20th. What's the correct release date? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Coconutfred73 (talk • contribs) 01:11, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

I would trust the commercial EA itself made more than IGN any day.—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 01:18, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
I saw this after I made the change, but EA's website (under NEWS) has the 18th, so I update the page Flamesplash 00:19, 18 September 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Kiss Kiss

This is just an FAQ but Is there ANY kissing or hugging? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.64.121.89 (talk) 04:39, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Hugging, giving flowers, thats it. no kissing. Maybe because Wii brings familys together, so kids playing... They just show "Friendliness" and not "Love". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.223.106.177 (talk) 18:42, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, nothing warps kids more than love. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.21.221 (talk) 03:45, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] levels

how many levels can you make on it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.36.210.19 (talk) 01:10, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

So they can't fall in love?.... I'll give up trying then..what a waste os time..This Stinks!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.142.209.89 (talk) 19:07, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sequel Release date confusion

Now, i know that the release dates have been confirmed in the investment quarters of 08/09, but what happens if someone doesn't understand the investment quarters, like a child for example. Shouldn't we put the quarters in their true format? ♥,Ivyluv (talk) 11:47, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
