Spore, the sim-everything simulator, finally got its amino acids together today and plopped out a release date of September 7, 2008. Looks like EA's boss was right that the long-in-production sim would reach retail "before the holidays" on the PC, Mac, Nintendo DS, and mobile phone platforms. Maxis' main man Will Wright said, "We're in our final stages of testing and polish with Spore, and the team at Maxis can't wait to see the cosmos of content created by the community later this year." That makes, well ... just about all of us.

That long, huh? I heard that this game would be going gold in early February.

What are the system requirements?
Have they taken out the underwater stage?

Yay!Now you all have the date in wich your worlds will soon be destroyed by my race of 12ft mutants with 2 heads!

It will also be interesting to see when the console version arrive and how they compare to the PC version. I would assume the Wii version will be very similar to the DS version with the HD consoles sharing more qualities with the PC version.

The DS version will be of the Creature Phase. And, likewise, the mobile phone edition will be of the Cell phase (Get it? Cell phone has the Cell phase! Ugh... can't believe I said that).
I'll be getting the PC version, the controls seem to fit the PC better than any other format that will be released. Not knocking the consoles and handhelds (I plan to get Spore for my DS as well), but I just feel that this game will be superior on the PC.

Lol, i'l buy this

Seems none of you people took my threat seriously...Well you will be when your planet blows up right in front of your eyes!
