SimCity DS

SimCity DS is a city-building and management simulation developed by EA Japan and AKI Corporation, released in 2007 for the Nintendo DS. The first entry in the SimCity series to appear on the platform, it tasks players with constructing and overseeing a functioning city, balancing infrastructure, zoning, and civic services to keep a population growing and content. The Nintendo DS hardware is integrated into the experience, with the touchscreen serving as the primary interface for placing buildings and navigating the urban landscape, while the second screen provides supplementary information. As the successor to earlier SimCity titles, the game carries forward the core loop of urban planning familiar to the series while adapting its controls and presentation to suit the handheld format. It was published by Electronic Arts.
