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

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

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.
