Sim City Creator features fun and then some

It's not exactly a simulation if you're facing off against giant fire-breathing dinosaurs, now is it? That's just one of the deadly, deadly disasters you'll encounter while constructing your digital empire in Sim City Creator for the Wii. Okay, it may not be a simulation of plausible events in a real city, but will it be a simulation of fun? Pffft. Everything is fun with dinosaurs.
Taking a look at the above scan from the latest Famitsu, we can see a couple of normal-looking areas, as well as a crazy neon crystal metropolis. In fact, a whole range of building designs will be available in a bunch of styles, including Futuristic, Crystal, Jungle, Las Vegas, Mediterranean, Traditional Japanese and even Cake -- apparently buildings inspired by your favorite baked goods. Sounds delish.
Adopting a MySims visual style, Sim City Creator's modes include Free Play, Mission, Collection (unlockable stuff -- hopefully cookies and pies to build a library), Memorial Album (happy snaps from Free Play) and City Making Contest. This mode lets you upload your created cities via Nintendo Wi-Fi and have various other would-be architects rank and review your work. Nice one!
Sim City Creator is set for a September release in Japan. Keep those dinosaurs and UFOs at bay until then, and hit the Source link to check out the full scans.

I'm a sucker for Sim City and the idea of uploading your city sounds really cool. Though, knowing me, it may bring out my narcissist side. My city might become my little vanity project. People who play these games will know what I'm aiming that.
Seeing other people's cites sounds really interesting. I'll buy it.

I've been a Sim City fan since the early PC and snes days. I would prefer the new version to be even more detailed than SimCity4. As long as it's not another SimCity Society I will most likely buy it. I'm interested to see how far they go with wifi involvement.
You've peaked my interest Nigeria, now I want to see one of your cities...

Um..."crazy neon crystal metropolis"?
More like data grid overlays, guys. You know, land value, traffic, education, crime, etc.
Ever played SimCity? It's cool.
