Peggle DS confirmed for real

Remember when PopCap very carefully denied the rumors about a DS version of Peggle? That denial was worded in such a way that it ensured that PopCap wouldn't be too embarrassed when they decided to tell people that they really were planning to release the game that they'd just said they weren't planning. PopCap officially announced Peggle for the DS, coming this winter for $30, at the Casual Connect conference yesterday. It will have all of the original Peggle levels as well as new ones.

The coolest part? Though their influence is nowhere to be found in the single released screenshot, the development of Peggle has been outsourced to Q? Entertainment, best known for Lumines, Meteos, and being awesome.

Vice president Greg Canessa also announced that two other PopCap games, Amazing Adventures: The Forgotten Ruins and Mystery P.I.: Portrait of a Thief, otherwise known as Not Peggle vol. 1 and 2, would be released in the fall.

I have no idea what this "Peggle" is, but Q? Entertainment? My interest is piqued.

I know, but playing against an opponent just isn't the same.

So is this going to be 6 times better then the $5 iPod version?
Or is this going to like buying claasic Pacman on the PS3 for $59.99?

The first time I played Peggle, I said that this should be a DS game. I'm so excited - Peggle rocked, but was kinda a pain to play on the PC.
