Will "I love Wii" Wright, daddy of The Sims and Sim City, has revealed what we've all long suspected: Maxis is bringing life simulation Spore to the Wii. Wright didn't expand on when the Wii version would be ready, merely telling the Guardian that "We're doing Spore on the Wii." As many of you will know, a DS version is already in the works.On an entirely unrelated note, turns out Wright is also something of a DS strategy fan. "With the exception of Advance Wars on my DS, there's no one game that I spend a huge amount of time playing," he said, managing to make us like him even more. Dude just loves his Nintendo.

NintendoWiiFanboy is falling behind on their speed. I saw this on GameSpot a few days ago. Old news.
Oh, and rumor has it the game will probably be toned down because the Wii doesn't have as much power as the PC version will require.

Will Wright just screams Nintendo fanboy to me. Maybe it's because he looks so much like Bill Gates did in the 80s (yeah, like this http://techrepublic.com.com/i/ne/p/2006/PortraitBillGates2_550x600.jpg). I can just see him in those cheesy commercials, maybe with the Power Glove strapped to his arm.
Glad to see Spore come around. I just hope it's not tuned down too much.
