The small, square-headed Sims look like a cross between Lego men and characters from Harvest Moon.
Although EA has yet to disclose gameplay details, one of these in-game screens demonstrate the ability to customise your town, setting the position of your house using the Wii Remote.
It also appears to set you free in a bustling town with various buildings and shops to explore, rather than confining you to a single household as the series traditionally does.
