EA today announced Dead Space Extraction, the Wii edition of 2008’s acclaimed Dead Space. The game is set before the events of the other versions and will incorporate the Wii controls in an On-rails first-person shooter style. The game will also feature co-op multiplayer. See the trailer after the jump.

This game seems as much “House of the Dead in space” as the other versions were “Resident Evil 4 in space”- but who’s complaining? Dead Space worked well, and I expect that this will too- it’s good to see developers working with the strengths of the console.
