i agree with the posters on here who see that this move by EA is motivated purely by the state of the economy.

I dont think EA wanted to make a Wii version of Deadspace, but they simply HAD to because theyve been bleeding cash on these huge projects on the other systems.

If the economy was better, EA would have probably put out some more kid-friendly games on Wii. But even those cost more than converting an existing game for the system. And since they HAD to do this, they thought "what can we port that people have bought en masse on Wii before?" and the answer was "survival horror". so theyre going ahead with dead space on Wii.

i hope it sells well, because it will help signal a paradigm shift in what publishers believe will sell on the system.

to those saying the graphics will be dumbed down, you know what? you're right, to an extent. but youve got to remember, in survival horror, audio is just as important as visuals in creating the atmosphere of fear. plus, EA announced this game at a perfect time, when WiiMotion Plus is getting ready to hit shelves later in the spring. deadspace developers will maximize on these advantages, if they are smart. the textures might be blurrier, and some of the lighting might not be as high-res, and there might not be as many enemies on-screen, but this game can still be stellar on Wii.

its just gonna take some savvy.

now that is one hell of a challenge.

great to know you enjoy your purchse. The Wii is, amazingly, still hard to find pretty much everywhere. I went into Gamestop here in Boca Raton yesterday to ask him about Wii availability. He had just gotten off the phone with someone inquiring the exact same thing.

He told me it was the 6th time so far that day (and it was early), that he had gotten phone calls about it. And his answer? The location was to receive 2 units by this Friday, and they were already accounted for.

On IGN Wii, Matt and Bozon had a podcast a few weeks back speculating on the next Nintendo system. And they were all pretty unanimous in the prediction that the new system will retain the "Wii" moniker. The Super-Wii? The Wii-2? WII?

Matt was the only one who predicted that Nintendos next system would have high-def. I dunno why Craig and Bozon thought otherwise. Makes no sense for them NOT to go HD. by 2009 HD will be the required standard for all television. So its GOT to be coming. Matt said that the Wii-2 would probly do 720p but he wasnt so sure about 1080i/p.

I agree with them as far as the machine's horsepower. It will probably be on par with today's PS3 in terms of graphical abilities. Nintendo's number 1 priority is keeping the system as affordable as possible. Keeping the low price range, with a nice profit cushion, is what Nintendo loves to do. As far as harddrives, are concerned, i dont remember what they said.

I mean, seriously, With power like that of the PS3, why would you need anything more??? How can anything be more powerful than the PS3 and really make a difference in graphical quality? ESPECIALLY, with the types of games Nintendo makes? All the horsepower of the PS3 would probably only be needed for photo-realistic graphics like Gran Turismo. But for Mario or Zelda, probably not.

The most important part of what they talked about though was how Nintendo would improve the controller. Theyre speculating that Nintendo would put some more sensitive instruments in there so that the controller would be able to accurately achieve 1:1 hand movements. SO yeah, good stuff all around.

I wish there be a few multiplats in there soon. RE5, GTA, CoD, AC, Fallout...no?manningbowl135

wow, you really CANT make fanboys happy!!! The Wii is getting exclusives like NiGHTS, Mario & Sonic at the Olympics, RE:UC, Medal of Honor Heroes 2, Ghost Squad, Trauma Center: New Blood, Zack & Wiki, and Manhunt 2, and yet now you want MULTIPLATS???

WHAT is that??? cmon people, that holiday list is AWESOME!!! ive never seen so many high-profile 3rd party games for a Nintendo console since....since SNES!!!

No wonder Nintendo delayed SSBB. they wanted to give these great 3rd party titles a chance to succeed on the system!

A new way to get into your skinny jeans

Thin is in.

But it's a shame dieting can be so boring and exercise, for the most part, is such a chore. However, fashion fan and skinny girl Jessica Alba might have found a way around the boredom. Alba, who apparently shuns diets and personal trainers, has taken up a Nintendo Wii workout.

Nintendo Wii is the must-have video game console that works up a sweat. (Yep, a gaming system that isn't associated with sitting on your behind wasting the day away.) Nintendo Wii isn't just for dudes either. With Wii tennis and Wii boxing you can burn about 560 calories per hour. Nintendo is even coming out with a new game called Wii Fit that will be just like having a personal trainer.

Gaming fitness is a bandwagon I can certainly jump on. Besides, if it's good enough for Jessica, it's good enough for me. Plus, look at her rocking those skinny jeans. Dare I say thin-spiration?

Interested? You can win a Wii on ThisNext, but there is only a few days left so act fast.
