Sorry guys, looks like you’ll have to wait a little longer to experience Spore on the Wii. According to an interview with Maxis producer Caryl Shaw held by Revogamers, the Wii version is being given some attention, but not until they finish the “real” version first:
Will (Wright) loves the Wii. He plays the Wii more than any other. So I think as soon as we started talking about if we should make Spore on the Wii, he was like “Oh, let’s make Spore on the Wii!” He’s very excited about it. We’re very focused right know on making the best PC game that we can, so finishing the game that I showed you and making that be the game that “sums it all” and have people, you know, fall in love with that. And then wanna look at other platforms and make games more appropriate.
Only time will tell if the Wii version will be able to live up to the PC variety, it all depends on what they have in mind for the Wii. The best news we can walk away from this interview with is that Will Wright loves the Wii! Hopefully he’ll be able to lend some of his genius to future Wii-specific projects.
