Mate, by "retarded" I meant "scaled down". I don't think it's about the graphics, I think it's about the complexity of the game, the limited interface and screen real estate to convey information.
Like "most" handheld ports, they'll strip it down to the bare basics - not just the graphics.
I see this game as one that "could" bridge the gap between "The Sims" crowd and the rest of us. Easy to pick up, fun to play around with, enormous levels of depth.
IF it can live up to the hype which is going to come thick and fast as the launch date approaches.
Some of the previews so far look promising though:
SPORE Hands On:

Xbox 360, PC, PS3 just like the Sims. And then maybe a retarded version for handhelds.
