News: Two new PC games, a new DS game and first details on the Wii version.

Electronic Arts has announced a bunch of new games in the Spore franchise today whil reaffirming that the PC expansion pack, Spore: Galactic Adventures, is still coming in the Spring. They followed that up with the announcement of a Spore spinoff game for the PC, another DS game and revealed the first details on Spore for the Wii.

First, Spore Creature Keeper will be coming to the PC this Summer. Creature Keeper will be very similar to Nintendogs, but instead of a cuddly dog, players will care for a strange Spore creation:

Younger Spore fans will have a blast with the Spore Creature Keeper, a stand-alone PC game that has players nurturing, training and playing with their own personally-created creature. With lots of toys, clothes and gizmos to play with, players can pamper their pets to perfection! With Spore Creature Keeper, fans can play with their creation alone or have a play-date online for endless creature fun. Spore Creature Keeper brings all the fun of creature creation to a new level by adding nurturing, teaching and social components to the experience.

Next, EA revealed the first details on Spore for the Wii, which will be titled Spore Hero, and a DS companion game dubbed Sproe Hero: Arena. Both games will be arriving in the Fall with a more involved storyline and adventure than the original Spore:

Spore will make its highly-anticipated debut on the Nintendo Wii with Spore Hero, an all-new adventure game focusing on creativity and evolution that was built from the ground up for the unique controls for Wii. Spore Hero takes players on an exciting adventure through a beautiful, colorful world. Spore Hero: Arena for Nintendo DS builds on the success of 2008's hit Spore Creatures and allows players to create fully-3D Spore creatures and take them into battle with an array of other creatures across the galaxy. Spore Hero and Spore Hero Arena offer two all-new Spore experiences available exclusively for Nintendo platforms this fall.

We'll have more soon.
