SimCity fans with Nintendo Wii or DS will have something to look to look forward to. Electronic Arts is set to launch SimCity Creator exclusively for the two Nintendo console. The Wii and the DS version will have features unique from the other.

In the Wii version, players can choose either from a European or Asian style for their city. The Wii Remote will be the only peripheral needed to play SimCity Creator. Just as the previous SimCity versions, players can set the zones and construct their own metropolis. For the first time in the series though, you can lay roads and pipes in curves instead of the grid-like systems of the past. Now you can truly design a piping system that you can truly say your own.

There are lots of Homebrew games for the Nintendo DS and indie developers are putting some good stuff out there. One of which is StillAliveDS, a 2D remake of Valve’s first person action/puzzle PC game, Portal. I think its developer T4ils should be commended for bringing Portal into the world of portable consoles.

Just like the PC game, players must use their wits and try to get through each stage while grabbing cake along the way. Players would still have to enter portals and determine how to reach their goals. The graphics is quite different from the original but it has its own appeal.

What’s best about StillAliveDS is that it’s free to download. T4ils even included a map editor so that you can create new maps for the game. Plus, you can share your maps to your friends.

Here’s a video from dsfanboy of how StillAliveDS is being played.
