Some things I saw:

-Play coins used for Karma Powers

-No aging

-Can be a pet only family with no sim

-Their are angel wings, halos, unicorn horns, and more exclusive to the 3DS version

-Pet's can participate in talent shows with obstical courses, etc.

-UI is updated like X360 and PS3 version

-Graphics are, sort of, good

I like The Sims but they just don't try much for handheld versions.

Hey! I am a The Sims fan too!

And this game is on my "must get" list even before releasing!

Though I notice you tend to create new threads for every new set of videos you find, why don't you just use the same thread and just update the tittle when new information comes?

Basically this. I've never played a Sims game, but they look interesting, and I love animals. I really wish for a portable Sims game that's actually good. Hope this is it, but won't get my hopes too high.

EDIT: Whoa, didn't realize this releases tomorrow! After seeing the video, I eagerly await the review. Hope this doesn't bomb like the Sims 3.

If you add me, I need to at least know you or I won't add you back.

Actually the first two GBA sims games (Bustin' Out and The Urbz) were awesome, they added long stories, lots of completely new likeable characters, large towns with multiple places to go and works where you actually do the work yourself instead of just waiting outside of a building.

After that we got The Sims 2 for the GBA and DS, while the GBA one retained a style similar to the previous games, it simply lacked their charm. The DS one was an OK game, but a complete let down to anyone who wanted a GBA-like game or a real Sims game.

Then we got The Sims 2 Pets and Apartment Pets for DS and the series reached its lowest.

My sentiments exactly. I'd even go so far as to say that The Sims: Bustin' Out is one of my favourite games of all time. Loved it. Loved the characters, environments and the music was incredible. The Urbz maintained the same style of gameplay (while refining the overall design), but the experience wasn't quite as memorable as the first game (plus, I didn't particularly care for the bizarre new artistic style that inundated the game).

I will add though that The Urbz was also released as a launch title for the DS, and it included some new characters, items, locations and missions that weren't included in the GBA game. The DS version however, misses out on the multiplayer mode (which allows you to play a few of the minigames with another player), as well as the bumper boat minigame (which is replaced with the touch-screen Sushi minigame). Compromises were made between the two platforms, but the DS version is byfar the superior game.

Sadly, The Sims: Bustin' Out (GBA) was never released in Australia (so I needed to resort to "questionable means" in order to play the game upon its release in 2003), however I did track it down on eBay last year and I fell in love with it all over again.

Porygon did nothing wrong.

Believe me, these "questionable means" have been necessary to many of us over the years... Especially with Mother 3! That game is quite fun. It's a damn shame that there is no technically legal way to play the game. It's the only game I've had to use "questionable means" to play, but I would buy it in a heartbeat if it was released here. I would even buy it twice to make up for playing it that way before.
