Spore on Wii & DS with cool connection feature?

Interesting tidbits over at Digital Battle:

According to Nintendo magazine NGamer, Spore will be the first Wii title to use the option of connecting the DS and Wii. Spore hasn’t been officially confirmed as a Wii title yet, but creator Will Wright suggested it at this year’s E3.

NGamer says Spore will be released during Spring 2007, and will connect to the DS over WiFi. Some hardware news are also mentioned; the sensor bar is 50% smaller, Wiimote battery life is estimated at around 60 hours using the AA batteries, and the controller will have built in 6 KB of memory.

Combining the Wii and DS controls in one game could be one great thing. Sure, Spore is going to be cool, though I am thinking of many other possible games (space sim with the Wiimote for fights and the NDS as cockpit console anyone? :)).
