taken from Destructoid:

"Electronic Arts had a Wii port of Dead Space 2 game planned, along with a follow up to the utterly awful The Simpsons Game. Both titles have been scrapped in favor of other projects. I'm no analyst, but I'm willing to bet that nothing of value was lost.

The news comes via the LinkedIn profiles of EA designer Gerry Sakkas and freelance developer Matt Spriggens, who list the cancelled games among their work. 

Seriously, is anybody upset over this? Show of hands, please.

Personally I find this quite surprising... even though the game was canceled, the fact that it was being made to begin with shows that someone at EA was listening to complaints by fans (such as the ones on this forum) about lack of support and missed opportunities on Wii.

If you add that to the fact there was also an additional simpsons game being made (previous one is considered not half bad, and nearly a million seller on Wii atm), plus previous efforts we know about from EA like the Brutal Legend port (which I think died with the dev - factor 5), and the fact NBA JAM was originally exclusive (we all know by now that the reason that affair turned so ugly had more to do with NBA Live being canned than hate for Nintendo) then it makes me wonder if in some alternate time-line, perhaps with a bit more financial stability, EA wasn't secretly plotting against Nintendo for no rational reason what so ever.

Kind of puts a new spin on that whole "third party conspiracy theory", doesn't it?

it's strange that there is a dead space for the iphone (good game btw) but not for the wii... a wii version should make a better return on investment then an iphone game... i hope..

If it would have been a non on-rails shooter I would have bought it.

First Mirror's Edge, now this?

Damn you EA! Stop canning your Wii games!

hang on just a sec, could care less about DS 2, thats what HD consoles are for but no Simpsons sequel??? i dont care what no one thinks i liked that game, oh sure it wasnt the pinnacle of 3d platforming, but as a simpsons fan who enjoyed the story and jokes i got my 15 bucks worth.oh EA

If it was going to be as half-assed as the Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Wii port, then the guy's right that nothing of value was lost.

^^^ that wasnt even half-assed but like 1/4th assed

so did a lot of people. It's just Jim Sterling's usual trolling... even the comments on D-Toid are calling him out on it, as well as on the potential of an actual dead space game on wii.

Meh, can't say I'm surprised to hear that, I mean us Wii owners have gotten the shaft from 3rd parties all gen, I've become numb to it at this point. Apparently a console with 86 million is not a priority for EA.

Well at least I won't have to worry whether or not my mom approves of this one.
