Will Wright, the gaming luminary behind The Sims and winner of the first gaming BAFTA fellowship, has confirmed that the massively anticipated Spore is heading to the Wii.

Speaking in an interview about the different platforms, Wright said:



With all that in mind it will be interesting to see how Spore translates onto Nintendo's home console. The game is also slated to come out on the DS, but that version will focus on earlier editing game mechanics rather than trying to cram the whole epic experience onto the handheld.

SPOnG broke the news that Spore would find its way onto consoles over a year ago now, but it's taken a long time for details to creep forth.

Let us know your thoughts on just what form the Wii version of Spore will take in the Forum.
