Dead Space Confirmed for Wii Release

During an earnings conference call today, EA CEO John Riccitiello explained that the company is expanding its focus on Wii this year. In addition to releasing a steady flow of causal, family friendly titles, EA is promising to bring more core titles to the platform. The first of which is Dead Space, an unlikely pick no doubt.

Despite the obvious graphical limitations, Riccitiello likened the “quality and fear factor” of Dead Space Wii to the already released PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions, but did not mention if it will be a direct port.
