Rumor: First details on Spore for Wii, new Spore game for DS
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 1 Comment
The PC and DS versions of Spore were released last year, but there hasn’t been a ton of news about the Wii version. It was a few months ago that Spore was confirmed to be Wii-bound, though now there are the first alleged details about the game. According to GamePro’s German website, Spore on Wii will be given the title “Spore Heroes.” The game won’t be a port, but a new entry in the franchise. A few members of the press were allowed to see a sneak-peak of the game in the form of a trailer. Good news for fans – he trailer will apparently become available to the public soon.
Also coming from the GamePro, the site claims that another game for the DS is in development, named Spore Hero Arena. More details on both Spore Heroes and Spore Hero Arena should be on the way in the near future.

EDISON, N.J., January 15, 2009 – Dive into life as a Puffin as Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, today announced Puffins: Island Adventure for Nintendo DS™. Developed by Other Ocean Interactive, Puffins: Island Adventure is an adventure simulation that lets players experience what it’s like to be one of Nature’s most unusual and endearing seabirds.
In Puffins: Island Adventure, players become part of a Puffin flock and experience their arduous, but rewarding, existence as they learn to fly, dive, start a family and more. While navigating through the island, they will interact with other Puffins, play games to earn the favor of their peers and raise a family to carry on their legacy. Puffins: Island Adventure features mini-games that relate to real-life Puffin activities underwater, in air and on land. By mastering the Puffin 500, Puffin Plummet and Tide Pool Fishing, players earn reputation points that unlock pictures and videos of real Puffins in their natural Canadian locales. If players make it far enough, they will unlock new levels and even their very own Puffin burrow. Gameplay through the untamed wilderness is accompanied by traditionally-styled Atlantic Canadian music composed of exotic instruments including the tin whistle, fiddle and bodhran. Music composition features the talent of one of Canada’s most popular artists, Alan Doyle, frontman for the world renowned band Great Big Sea. In addition, Puffins: Island Adventure also features 4 player local and 2 player Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection multiplayer modes.

“I think the Wii is a wonderful system. It’s very unique, starting with its iconic controllers. We have no plans at the moment, but I would love to make a Wii game in the future.” – Hironobu Sakaguchi
Sakaguchi would love to make a Wii game, and I’d love to play the game that he would create! He’s done some brilliant work on the Final Fantasy series, Chrono Trigger, and even Super Mario RPG. Sakaguchi has been a bit busy with the DS and Xbox 360 the past few years, so hopefully he can concentrate his efforts on the Wii in the future.
