The SimCity series has built up a strong reputation over the years, but mainly on the PC. However, thanks to a helping hand from Nintendo, the Maxis classic was reworked for the SNES and following that there was no turning back, with SimCity 2000 eventually making its way to that system, as well as even the GBA. However, now EA has created a fresh edition, based on SimCity 3000 for the DS and Cubed³ was lucky enough to catch up with the development team to talk about this latest project, SimCity DS.

ign writes: Maxis Software's ultimate goal for the SimCity franchise has always been to make you think about game ideas in the real world. From dealing with natural disasters like earthquakes, to making sure city-funded services such as garbage and electricity are provided, the simulation should be fun and also develop your mind so you reflect on what you see going on around you every day. After more than a decade the studio that started it all is returning to the series, bringing back the beloved PC franchise with a new game simply titled SimCity. The ultimate goal is still the same, but new advances in tech and design, as well as living in a world with increased globalization, have reshaped the way Maxis approached its design.
