Re: Footage Of The Cancelled Nintendo DS Game Black & White Surfaces Online

I picked up Spore Creatures a couple months ago on impulse, and as suspected, it has a lot in common with this title! It definitely uses the same engine for the overworld exploration.

EDIT: Just did some cursory research - it looks like EA handed Spore Creatures over to Griptonite (a popular choice for handheld adaptations of console titles), whilst Full Fat were responsible for the following year's game, Spore Hero Arena! I wonder how much overlap there was between all these projects.

Such a fantastic console! I'm only a wee teenager now so I never experienced the thing during its heyday, but the fact that it was the last home console to run on the aging cartridge format always intrigued me. I've been collecting for over 2 years now (28 games strong, with Star Fox 64 my top pick) and my appetite for the '64 is more voracious than ever! I'd argue it's never been beaten in terms of a truly gripping multiplayer experience, and so many games pushed the thing to its extremes, particularly near the end. Long live the King!
