IGN says it's in fact a "new" dead Space:

Probably a precuel, when the necormorphs started to inffect the planet

 

I just read their dead space article and they say they hope it's a new game and not just a port. It would seem they dont know either. EA has said it's a new take on the game, which could mean anything from new game, "chop till you drop" different focus or just being a port (as a port down to Wii would have to be different in some ways). 

This news is especially surprising after how poorly Skate it seems to be doing. I hope the game turns out well, and it might just take off, but the series hasn't exactly set the world aflame on the 360 and PS3, and I can't help but seeing it have a Bioshock Ps3 effect.

 

Oh well, lets wait till we see it in action.

 

What they need is an advertising push + good word of mouth. With these two things I think it can do pretty good. Remember, since it is on wii and costs less, it does not need as many sales as the HD ones to be a success.
