Hey, Emilie.

The general consensus is that the Wii version is better, much because it is a lot more ambitious in what it tries to do with the 'build-a-town' idea.

In fact, MySims Wii has had some really top notch marks from the critics, while the DS version is seen as average.

I think it boils down to what free time you have. If you're on the move a lot or don't have your own TV... Then a DS is better... I think the DS is a better system than the wii, but it's just my opinion.

Well the ds has a vast amount of all forms of titles by now from the cute nintendogs to animal crossing but the Wii is starting to get some pretty amazing games. It depends on what you like and where you want to play the most really.

So - have you made a decision...??? For me the Wii is also a bit like going back a few years. Graphics, sound, it's not HD...it gets boring

The DS makes good of just about every franchise that appears on it. Except Metroid.

Hotel Dusk
Bleach DS (fighter)
Advance Wars
Phoenix Wright( all three games and the new Apollo Justice)
Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow/Portrait of Doom

Have fun mate when you get one.

DS is fun, so is Wii but I found with Wii you need people to play it, or it just ends up going to waste. Unless you have Guitar Hero for it

Sold both of them though.

Hehe! For sure Nintendo Wii rocks, coz I'm it's owner
Anyway I also tried to compare these consoles at TestFreaks to see what people think.
Okay. Here are the results:

Nintendo Wii
Score: 9.0 out of 10 based on reviews from 80 sources in 17 countries.


Nintendo DS

Score: 6.0 out of 10 based on reviews from 59 sources in 16 countries.

So as I told before - Nintendo Wii is much more better
