Will Wright's anything and everything simulator Spore is still a ways off for the PC (no official release date has been annouced) but already people are wondering what other systems it might be ported to. The Xbox 360 seems an obvious choice, both given it's technical capabilities as well as its online connection which allows other players' creations to be used to populate your world. But more unexpectedly, it seems Spore will be coming to handhelds as well.

Gamespot reports news of a GameDev.net job posting for the position of "Handheld Designer: SPORE." The ad makes references to "handheld titles", seemingly implying both the DS and the PSP -- or possibly, given that this is EA, just a lot of expansion packs. The graphics could be concievably scaled down, but Spore still seems like it would be fairly tough on a portable's processor. Are they up to it?
