Nintendo's newest console has seen its fair share of "Wii-makes" thus far, including everything from Prince of Persia to Resident Evil 4, and now The Sims franchise. As one of the main Sim titles at EA's press event in San Francisco this week, The Sims 2: Pets is looking to take advantage of the now-bustling Wii community, bringing out the previously-released console title to Nintendo's newest system. And while we can't come down on the decision to bring out The Sims 2: Pets on Wii - after all, IR control works like a charm - it's tough to get overly-excited about a game we played on PS2, Xbox, and GameCube just months ago.

For anyone unfamiliar with the world of The Sims, it's a spin-off franchise from the classic "Sim-whatever" world that has been around since pretty much the dawn of gaming (and mankind). In The Sims, players zoom in on the world of SimCity, and trade in the role of city manager for the life of a lowly Sim slave. Players can create and design their own houses, recreate a fully-functioning family unit, and even take on jobs and relationships in the more social-based Sim title. For The Sims 2: Pets, it's all about bringing in our furry friends from yesteryear, as EA encourages us to recreate or dearly departed pets from our childhood, or play God in creating our very own dream dog or cat.
