This has to be one of the worst decisions i've ever heard (if it's true). There is nothing about this that makes any sense. Firstly, the Wi does not cater to mature gamers. Dead Space is a very mature game. Dead Space didn't release for the Wi so why would you release a prequel to dead Space exclusively to a console that didn't see the original? Lastly, they already told this goddamn story in the animated movie. Again, nothing about this makes any sense.

Just because the Wii doesn't cater almost exclusively to 'mature' gamers (my experience is that those that call themselves mature gamers are nothing of the sort) doesn't mean that there's not people who own Wiis who would be interested in this.

The first Dead Space is multiplatform but its prequel is a Wii exclusive. Where the hell is EA going with this? It's just giving us more reasons why Nintendo should get it's arse kicked for having companies making games only for their stupid console. We've been waiting for a new Dead Space game and EA gives us this? What a bunch of Nintendo ass kissers.
Do you even understand how game deals work? EA most likely approached Nintendo with the idea, not the other way around. They're looking for money from the Wii market.

Because it's another market, alongside but not quite competing with the 360/PS3 market. They can get more money from catering to both, and lose less by using an existing IP for a new game.

However, that does not change the fact that the Wii has sold more consoles than both the PS3 and 360, despite the fact that it was not created to directly compete with the other two systems but rather was made to hit a different market.
If EA wants to tap into that market, then they have the right to do whatever they want with their games. They think they can make money selling a game exclusively on the Wii. Chances are, they are correct. When Nintendo has a hit, it has a hit, simple as that.
