    Dead Space Extraction Coming September 29

    Electronic Arts has unveiled the release date today for player's return to space in the upcoming Wii exclusive game Dead Space Extraction. Here's an excerpt from the press release:
    Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) and its Visceral Games™ studio announced today that Dead SpaceTM Extraction, will be available in stores on September 29, 2009 in North America and October 2, 2009 in Europe exclusively for the Wii™. Dead Space Extraction delivers the highly-polished, action-horror experience the Dead Space franchise is known for while upping the ante for technical excellence on the Wii with some of the best visuals ever showcased on the platform.

    “Our team is really excited to bring the intensity of the Dead Space universe to an entire new audience,” said Executive Producer, Steve Papoutsis. “We are going to deliver the same high quality, cinematic experience we delivered in the original Dead Space, while also adding co-op, new enemies, weapons and taking advantage of all of the unique features the Wii has to offer.”

    Developed at EA’s award-winning Visceral Games studio, Dead Space Extraction tells the story of a handful of space colonists desperately struggling to escape from a horrific infection on the Aegis VII mining colony deep in the furthest regions of space. The game introduces Lexine, an important new heroine, to the Dead Space universe. Players will play as the crew who falls victim to a mysterious contagion aboard the ship, with it quickly becoming clear that protecting Lexine will be their only hope for survival.

    Considering that Wii is often marketed/geared toward being family & kid friendly, bringing a survival-horror game like Dead Space to it seems a bit strange. I'm a little surprised Nintendo would want such a game on their console. Wonder if that speaks to the current economic situation as well, and if they're willing to expand their horizons to make more profit?

      Whiskey... Madworld ring a bell? Resident Evil? House of the Dead?

      There are horror games on the Wii already.

          Heh, let's just say bringing hardcore games to the Wii certainly won't hurt Nintendo I think. Will hopefully open it up to some more people if they continue to release these types of games. It's a shame there weren't that many when the system first came out or it would've received a larger audience right off the bat.
