DEAD SPACE EXTRACTION, ELECTRONIC ARTS, WII, VIDEO Dead Space Extraction lands in Fall 2009 - on rails

The news that the Wii version of Dead Space will be a prequel rather than a port of the original game comes as no surprise. In this particular case, the decision probably has nothing to do with EA downplaying the importance of a Wii release. More likely, they simply expect the game will sell more copies if no one has played it yet. What incentive do you have to buy Dead Space on Wii if you've already gone through it on the PS3?

As it turns out, the incentive is Dead Space Extraction. And looking at the trailer, which appears to contain gameplay footage (albeit quick shots that are hard to get a clear glimpse of), it appears as though shovelware is the last thing EA has on its mind.

Update: According to IGN Wii, Dead Space Extraction will be an on-rails shooter. Unfortunately, this development will probably limit the title's appeal by a wide margin, in spite of the fact that the game's graphics look great.
