We already know that Spore is a possibility for the Wii, but in an interview with IGN, SimPapa Will Wright had a little more to say about the upcoming console as it relates to the evolutionary sim he's developing. Wright told IGN they were "messing around with the Wii dev kit." Considering that the PC release of Spore isn't scheduled until next year, mucking about with the dev kit for the Wii seems like a very good sign that the Nintendo console will get a little evolutionary love. Wright also stressed the importance of designing games for each platform, which Wii love! Down with bland ports, up with games that make sense.

The part that caught my attention:
"The editors are a very big part of the game, but maybe it's difficult to navigate through them on a console. There are some things you really want to do with a mouse.
IGN: Do you have any ideas of how the game would play on the Wii?
Will Wright: We've been messing around with the Wii dev kit and we're really interested in the possibilities there. It's possible the editors might be more manageable on that system."
Basically he's saying that it'll be easier to port to Wii because the remote acts like a mouse. THAT is exciting, it's really starting to look like the Wii will offer true FPS controls like a keyboard+mouse setup.

What's this 'is a possibility'? As I recall, it was confirmed that it was going to be on every console a long time ago.

Here's hoping for a dual system Wii+DS control option.
