In a report over on Gamasutra about the financial status of Electronic Arts, the company spoke candidly to the website about its future plans. When talking about Nintendo's systems it was stated that production of games for the Nintendo Wii and DS have been 'ramped up' due to the significant excitement seen at this year's E3 event for all things Nintendo.
It was revealed that EA will likely ship two games during the launch window of the Wii, thought to be Madden 07 and Need For Speed Carbon, with five further titles due over the fiscal year, which ends in March 2007! As for the price of Wii games, EA executives mentioned how publishers will be making those decisions themselves, but the fact that Nintendo has stated First Party games will not exceed $49.99 /

wheres the spore news pointing finger at wii. ohhh i really hope that it is true as i would really love to have spore on the wii. it would work well with the gesture system.
ahh i see. so while the ps3 and 360 would get the more avatar led game due to lack of a mouse. the wii could capitalise on the wii remotes as the mouse and there fore be more similar to the pc original( bar maybe a downshift in graphics). on handhelds is also interesting with the difference between ds and psp being much the same as wii and ps3.
intrigue i definitely am.

Great news, Spore could really be a huge third party hit on Wii, which would be nice 
Edit, click the "In other news" link, might have vanished when you posted as Adam screwed up a bit of code and I had to fix it

That basically confirms they're just in it for the money, so I'm just hoping we don't get

Spore. The most revolutionary and interesting game in recent years, is coming to the most revolutionary systemn. Excitment is bubbling out of my sternum.

Spore on the Wii? If it's true to the original game, I will wet my pants 
And I won't have to buy it on PC, yeah! I don't care for PC gaming much.
It's amazing. I don't take up the whole page explaining, but try to find it on google videos. There's a video about 30 minutes long, but it's worth the watch as it shows very well what the game's gonna be like.
