Spore to be PC Only, For Now 111
Joystiq reports the news that, for the time being, Spore will be only on the PC. This, despite Will Wright's hopes that it would see publication on the Wii, 360, PS3, Gameboy, DS, and PSP. EA seems to be wanting to 'get it right' on the PC to begin with, though, and is discounting the game's publication on those platforms at this time. From the article: "The Wii reference may be a direct result of UK magazine NGamer's recent article that suggests Spore is coming to Nintendo Wii in Spring 2007. As it stands, Wright's team is '100% focused on finishing Spore on the PC and PC only.' That said, you'd have to be pretty foolish to believe Spore will remain exclusive to any format. Like The Sims before it, Wright's latest project will likely invade every screen -- television, computer, mobile phone, etc. -- on Earth."

Just like that other Will Wright bomb, SimCity [wikipedia.org].

Once you adapted beyond the single celled organism strong electromagnets in the cartridge would active drawing together a Beowulf cluster of gameboys.
This multi cellular organism would then continue to grow evolving and adapting to the body parts of hundreds of children per organism.
Once it reached a critical mass the rate of growth will slow (until measured in limbs trapped per hour) and will enter a cocoon state.
Emerging from this fetid rotting mass will be a small group of supergeeks built from the blood sweat and tears of a thousand helpless gameboy addicts.
They will go on to become EA programmers.
Immortal, work hungry and with no need for sleep the title will at last be released on other platforms within a couple of work shifts.
That was the plan anyway, damn ESRB.
