Electronic Arts today announced The Urbz: Sims in the City for the Nintendo DS. EA's first DS title, the game is set to ship this November.

"We're thrilled that this new franchise is the first from Electronic Arts to illustrate the power of the Nintendo DS," said Sinjin Bain, Vice President and Executive Producer. "On the Nintendo DS, we are able to do things with The Urbz: Sims in the City that we could not do with any other console. Like the system itself, this game is completely unique. Never before have Sims players been able to unleash their alter egos in an urban environment - complete with the sounds, scenes and settings of the city."

Exclusive to the DS version of The Urbz is a wireless multi-player mode, a touch-screen menu system, 24 various objects, 5 minigames, 7 characters, and 8 different pet species. For more information on The Urbz, check out the official Urbz website at urbzsims.ea.com.
