Which version do you think will end up being the best?

Personally I think there is a chance that they could be pretty much equal, except for in the visual department, but only if you are able to do all the online stuff on the Wii as well. If the online isn't as good on the Wii as it is on the PC, and chances are it wont be, then the PC version will be far superior.

the Wii version has been confirmed to be completly different from the PC version...just like all of the other Maxis games....which turned out far far worse on consoles than on the PC.....

so the chance of Spore being better on the Wii...is well slim to none considering its going to be completly different.

Not to mention the lack of a hard drive on the Wii puts a serious damper on the ability to take advantage of user generated creatures, buildings, and content. I fail to see how could the Wii version be anywhere near close to the PC since it will obviously be inferior graphically, but also inferior feature wise.

Has a date even been announced for the Wii version?

I play my handhelds for hours on in at work and everywhere else. If the handheld Spore works with the Wii Spore I will be getting it. Other wise I will be getting it on the PC if my computer can handle it.

The PC version will be the better version. I don't see the wii version having a lot of the online stuff the PC version will have. The friends codes are going to be a pain for wii owners. Poor guys. I feel for them because of the way their online is setup.

I believe that the Wii and DS versions will be identical to each other and Maxis isn't involved in either versions.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I agree with you wholeheartedly about the space issue, however, I really don't think the game is graphically intensive at all. It should run just fine on the Wii.

BTW is this game about evolution still or dumbed down to just creating creatures? If it's the latter, I'm honestly a no buy.

No brainer really.

Better graphics, better controller.

But beside that, all the online content, the automated streaming of new characters from the spore data base into your universe ect.

Wii version is a spin off.

PC, considering what we can try from the creator, the Wii is going to suck for this game.

even if they are identical in every other aspect, the pc will have better graphics and thus be the better game.

The lack of a HDD is a bit of problem. Though if they're smart, they could always give the game SD card support.

Why would the hard drive be a limitation? Spore is based on procedural synthesis. All that would theoretically be necessary would be a small file (in the kilobytes size) with the numbers that would correspond to each creature's anatomy and planet. The game engine on the game disc itself would then rebuild the creatures and planets from those mathematical seeds.

It's the same reason save files are so tiny.

Maxis isn't even doing the Wii version. :|
