Exclusive first look at Wii Dead Space packaging!

Interesting to see how it's being slightly re-branded for the Wii's less hardcore, more casual audience!:

Sorry... I just couldn't help myself.

In all seriousness: I'm going to take the minority position and say a Wii version of Dead Space has the potential to be not just as good as the 360 or PS3 versions, but better. Sure, not in terms of graphics (getting it to look as good as Resident Evil 4 does would be acceptable), but in terms of gameplay Dead Space is a natural fit on the Wagglebox. Think how much easier will it be to surgically slice off limbs when you can twist the Wiimote with your wrist for specific angles (rather than cycling through angles via a button).

Oh, and if you're interested: click on through for a sweet Joystick Division wallpaper featuring Wii Isaac, or as I dubbed him: "Miisaac".
