Spore DS to IPO on April 16

Electronic Arts Inc’s Spore (DS) for the Nintendo DS will debut on the simExchange on Monday, April 16, 2007. The game will be categorized under the Strategy genre. Shares will open for purchase at 100 DKP (forecasts 1 million copies sold worldwide over lifetime).

This stock is for the DS version of the upcoming Spore (PC) game. Spore is designed by Will Wright, the famed creator of SimCity and the Sims. It is uncertain how the game will be translated from the PC to the DS.

The premise of the PC game is a simulation of life from the beginning. You begin as a tiny life form in a pool of primordial ooze. You will evolve from a single cell organism that just swims around eating other single cell organisms to the second phase of the game where you have evolved into an animal like creature. The customization of your creature is supposedly limitless. Once you have evolved from here, you will enter the third phase where you organize into a tribe. Not satisfied with that you will build cities and then civilizations. Ultimately, you will leave the planet to build your intergalactic empire. ?

?Spore combines various forms of gameplay, from 2D protozoa eat protozoa action to 3D prey hunting/predator fleeing, from SimCity-like management to larger scale Civilization-like conquest.

The game's listing was submitted by Jayen.
