The Spore franchise continues to evolve as Maxis has confirmed details about Spore Hero and Spore Hero Arena – two games built from the ground up exclusively for the Nintendo Wii and the Nintendo DS.

Spore Hero delivers creative freedom of Spore in an accessible, story-driven action-adventure made exclusively for the Wii. Taking full advantage of the Wii controls, Spore Hero engages players in heated battles, humorous missions, curious puzzles and more. Throughout the game, players will collect more than 250 parts with unique abilities and experience the customisation of the revolutionary Spore Creature Creator enhanced for the Wii system.

For those that are Wii-less, Spore Hero Arena catapults Nintendo DS players into a 3D galaxy filled with fun, intense arena-based combat. Players create a unique gladiator Hero creature and guide it from planet to planet as they fight enemy creatures and complete special missions, collecting new parts and abilities, gaining upgrades along the way. Spore Hero Arena will also feature multiplayer capabilities as players can battle with up to three friends locally or play with a friend over Wi-Fi.
