    The Nintendo Wii is a home video game console released on November 19, 2006. The Wii's main selling point was the innovative use of motion controls that its signature Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers allowed for. It became the best selling home console of its respective generation of hardware.

    Are These Projects Still Alive?

    Two games that I've been really hoping would be coming to the Wii are Spore and Civ. Revolutions.  My googling shows that both have been delayed, but the sources are all months old. Also, a post on the Civ. Rev forums says that the Wii port has definitely been canceled.  Basically, I'm not what to think anymore.  I was wondering if anyone knew more about either of these two games' status. I can live without Rev, but Spore seemed like a lot of fun and well suited for the Wii.

    Call em both dead and save yourself some trouble. I doubt either of them are coming.

    I agree.  The ship has certainly sailed on Civ.

    Neither seems likely at the moment, but Will Wright really likes the Wii so Spore on the Wii is probably not dead yet.

    For a second,  I thought Sadness would be mentioned... but I think everybody knows that's essentially dead.

    Wasn't Spore just a spin off like the DS one? Anyway, i wouldn't hold my breath for either of them...or Sadness.

    Yeah, I came into this post expecting Sadness... Which was a huge reason for why I got my Wii. The premise of the game was so interesting and the team was talking about how excited they were about the project on forums around the time E3 06 took place. That game is dead, it's a real shame too.

    And thank god that did not happen because that version of spore on the DS was an absolute waste of time.

    Well that's upsetting.  I was really hoping at least one of them was in the works.

    At least there's still the conduit and ghostbusters!

    Some could say that the PC version was, too

    I would say Civ is dead, not spore though.

    Yeah that game had the most amazing pitch ever. But I'm still not sure whether it was actually real in the first place or not.
