News: Spore Coming to DS

Official confirmation that a version of the PC title will be heading to the Nintendo DS.

Good things come to those who wait? It would seem so.

Warren Jenson, an EA CFO has finally confirmed that a version of the PC title Spore will be heading to the Nintendo DS.

In the past, Spore Creator Will Wright expressed an interest in bringing the title to the DS and other platforms, but not much more was known about this. However, now we finally have confirmation that it will indeed be arriving on the DS.

"In short, we are on it," Jenson said regarding DS and Wii support.

During a Q&A session during the conference call, one analyst asked EA chairman and CEO Larry Probst if he is concerned if the strong-selling Wii turns out to be just a "fad."

Probst answered, "With regards to the Wii platform, at least initially, it seems like it's expanding the overall market and expanding the demographic of users and people that purchase software, so we think that's a good thing. We'll have to see if that's sustainable over time, but certainly [Nintendo's] got off to a very encouraging start."
