Hmmmmmmmm..?? Dead Space Wii?

Is it me or is IGN's Matt Casamassina hinting that EA will be bringing Dead Space to the Wii? After listening to their podcast yesterday, it sure sounded like it. Maybe I'm wrong....who knows. I do remember reading somewhere that EA is committed to bringing core games and franchises to the Wii, and this seems like the perfect franchise. Hell, they can even use the RE4 engine, which I believe Capcom was making available to other developers.

Exhibit A: Here's what he said...
"We keep saying like look out for major IPs from some publishers. Check our "prediction piece" and if you look at my top 10 games for the year, you can start piecing together."

Exhibit B: An excerpt from their "prediction piece"
"EA will reveal a few titles that'll please gamers who aren't looking for wimpy games on the Nintendo console. Gritty games aren't just for the Xbox and PS3 crowd, and EA will make sure Wii owners get their intense experience too"

Exhibit C: Matt's # 1 of 2008
Dead Space....Boyaa!!!

Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but if there were ever a game that could be made on Wii using the RE4 engine, it would be Dead Space.

What do you think? Huh?
