Peggle Heads to DS via Rez, Lumines Dev. Q
The DS edition is expected to carry a $29.95 price point, more levels than any past Peggle game, "features unique to the DS version," and what PopCap referred to as "a wealth of surprise additions sure to please die-hard fans and novice players alike."
Already released on PC, Mac and iPod, the Pachinko-esque offerings of Peggle, which require players to eliminate colored pegs, have won over many a cold-hearted gamer despite its use of unicorns, rainbows, and Beethoven's "Ode to Joy."
A DS edition of Peggle was rumored earlier this year. At the time, PopCap noted that a Nintendo DS version had not yet been approved, but that it was "eager to bring its peg-popping pleasures to as many appropriate platforms and devices as possible."
A downloadable Xbox 360 edition of Peggle is in the works as well, though it has missed its tentative Q2 2008 release window, with a PC sequel, dubbed Peggle Nights, also known to be in development.

Should be fun. I'm especially glad that my wife has her own DS now so she won't be monopolizing mine.
