The Spore franchise continues to evolve as Maxis, an Electronic Arts studio, today revealed details about Spore Hero and Spore Hero Arena – two games built from the ground up exclusively for the Wii and Nintendo DS platforms.

Spore Hero will be a story-driven action-adventure, made exclusively for the Wii.

Taking advantage of the Wii controls, Spore Hero will feature heated battles, humorous missions, curious puzzles and more. Throughout the game, players will collect more than 250 parts with unique abilities and experience the some of the intense customisation options of the Spore Creature Creator enhanced for the Wii

Spore Hero Arena will be an arena-based combat game for Nintendo DS. Players create a unique gladiator Hero creature and guide it from planet to planet as they fight dangerous enemy creatures and complete special missions, collecting new parts and abilities, gaining upgrades along the way. In the quest for combat, we'll seek out to defeat each local champion and unlock special abilities that will benefit our Hero. By combining special abilities, parts, and upgrades, players create a fighting style of their own in hopes to stop an evil force and save the galaxy. 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.

More details and screenshots shortly.

Further extends you mean? There were already some spore games for Nintendo.
I might get the Wii out of retirement for this :) Nothing worthwhile since Madworld.
