Will Wright

Will Wright has confirmed that Spore will be making it to the Wii. In an interview by the Guardian he had this to say on the subject:

We’re doing Spore on the Wii, and we did MySims. It takes significant re-thinking to work out how you’re going to do it. PS3 and Xbox 360 are similar enough that you can basically use the same system for both. So it comes down to what the interesting major platforms are and which markets we want to hit.

Really makes you think how fun it could be wriggling your Wiimote around during the microbiological stage. The whole interview is rather interesting, with Will describing his home set up and what he likes to play.

As if I wasn’t excited enough about going to Leipzig already. Will Wright’s Spore, a life-simulation game seven years in the making, will be playable by journalists for the first time at the Leipzig Games Convention. While the concept of a bunch of people playing a game that you can’t play might not excite you that much, my high-definition video camera has assured me that it can hook you up with the next best thing to being there.
