Is EA prepping 'Spore Hero' games for the Wii and Nintendo DS? photo

We already knew Will Wright's Spore -- obviously groomed to be a mega-franchise for Electronic Arts -- was coming to the Wii, but had little other information. New details suggest the game will be called Spore Hero, and will not be a port of the PC title, but instead a new title designed specifically for Nintendo's console. 

These details come from the German GamePro, who claims to have seen a trailer for the game at a recent EA event. The magazine also suggests that a follow up to last year's Nintendo DS title is being prepped as well, called Spore Hero Arena. 

If the info does pan out, it's likely we'll start seeing more information soon, and possibly this trailer the members of the fancy press have been seeing. Are you excited for a Wii version of the title, or did last year's Spore hype wear you out?

So now that Spore's been out for a while, what is the general consensus? Kinda "meh"? Did the DRM/piracy issue overshadow the game itself?

Drop a little 20/20 hindsight knowledge on me, please, because I didn't follow this game too closely.

That picture made me laugh a lot. Also, not really excited, I'm not usually a fan of this kind of game, but I hope it's good anyway.

So is Hayden Panettiere in it or not?

Is it just me or does Ms. Larter's face look terribly photoshopped in that pic?

"great... let's combine a terrible game and a terrible show. this is not going to be very promising."

Please tell us you're joking right? You can't actually believe that EA is combining the game Spore with the TV show Hero's. Its was just a joke, you get that right?

If that game is what everyone of us expected Spore was going to be (remember GDC2007 videos?), I might be interested, but I doubt it.
