SPORE evolves onto handheld platforms

An internet job posting reveals that EA is looking for "an experienced designer that will be responsible for designing, creating and maintaining game systems and content for SPORE Handheld titles." Will Wright's "Sim Everything" wowed developers at last year's Game Developer's Conference. Responsibilities include delivering "AAA quality and unique play experiences on multiple Handheld platforms."

The job posting doesn't specify what handhelds they'll be developing for, but we're willing to bet this here magical unicorn that this is the big break the Gizmondo and NGage platforms have been waiting for.

UPDATE: Ginko biloba-infused reader Aaron correctly recalled Will Wright mentioning that he wanted to bring SPORE to handhelds. Dan Choi found the Joystiq coverage from last May: "Wright also lets on that he plans to bring a version of Spore to handheld gaming systems."
