Play Sims 2 - Hachamecha Hotel Life, The (J) Online

Sims 2 - Hachamecha Hotel Life, The (J) came out for the Nintendo DS in 2008, published by Electronic Arts. It was part of that wave of quirky, portable Sims spin-offs that tried to do something different with the formula, fitting right into the DS library's experimental side. You don't play a single Sim so much as you manage a whole hotel, which already sets it apart from the main series.

You control staff, assign tasks, and design rooms to keep guests happy, all through the DS touchscreen. The main goal is to earn enough money and reputation to expand the hotel, dealing with constant demands and minor disasters. Signature mechanics include tapping to direct employees and furnishing rooms with specific themes to satisfy picky visitors; the pacing is hectic, with lots of small fires to put out at once. It feels like organized chaos, where success depends on your ability to multitask under pressure.
