You loyal readers may think I hate Nintendo, but you're wrong. Know why? Because I LOVE my DS. So when I saw this, the happy dust in my brain exploded all over the that empty organ. According to an EA conference call, Spore is coming to the DS. Yes, you read that right: Spore will be on your DS. If you still needed an excuse to buy this awesome handheld, then you just got your perfect reason.
That's not all that was revealed during this call. Check this out:
“We have shifted and acquired resources and are attacking these successful platforms,” said EA CFO Warren Jenson, referring to Nintendo’s platforms.
My Sims will be coming to both the DS and the Wii, and SimCity will also be coming to the DS.

Hmm interesting I wonder how this is going work. Hopefully it will have the whole download random creatures feature like its PC brother.
*debates whether to go off on another rant*
Ever since it was announced at GDC all those years ago I have waited and waited and waited some more...
God I hope it kicks as much ass as I think it will
When I checked out the link to Next-Gen, I had this staring at me.
This is wrong, it should say "I Fucking Get It. Fuck."
only now I'm gonna have to get the game twice, on my pc and on the ds.
BTW, if Spore came to the Wii ... well fuck, that'd be a fuckin' system seller if I ever saw one -- especially if it had online functions.
That said, 'tis indeed awesome news it's coming do DS. Think I'll still need the PC version, because it just will have better functionality(nintendo look like they're sticking with friend codes = gimped online). If the game is as awesome as it has potential to be, mayhaps I'll pick up the DS one as well.
Then again, I'm usually wrong. Spore ftw.
It's been strongly hinted that the game would be coming to every platform, but this is the first time there's been official confirmation on a version other than PC.
but if this game i sthe next Fable, I will lose hope in gaming...
Latest rumor for the PC release is Fall 2007. Don't hold your breath though. :)
Next: Spore Mobile. For real. Like, everyone has a cell phone!
I'll stick with the PC version, that way I KNOW I'll get assaulted with other creatures.
Besides, I'm not sure the DS is up to procedural texturing and all that jazz.
Im not upgrading, Im downsizing. =)
"IGN: Can we confirm you plan to eventually bring Spore to other consoles?
Will Wright: Well, we're focusing solely on the PC version at the moment. But we're thinking of Spore as a franchise, definitely, that will be across all platforms. Cellphones, too."
Here's another good interview with Wright from August on Gamespot.
