Peggle falling into the DS

PopCap's Peggle is a ridiculously popular pachinko-esque puzzle game about bouncing balls around on pegs. It's so well-regarded that it made Joystiq's Top 10 of 2007. A version was also included in The Orange Box for PC, which makes it "okay" for professed hardcore gamers to enjoy it.

PopCap's John Vechey told Pocket Gamer that after the game's Xbox Live Arcade port is released, a DS version would be on the way. He didn't give any details about the release other than that there would be one, and we don't know when or for what region it's coming out.

Another weird direction for Evangelion

The last Evangelion game to be announced for the DS was a cute minigame collection based on an SD comedy spinoff of the series, taking the characters out of the world-saving storyline and putting all the characters together in an elementary school. The next game using the license, then, must be the real one, some kind of robot-filled RPG that retells the epic storyline of the anime and manga, right? Or, like, a big robot fighting game?

Nope! It's pachinko. A PS2 pachinko port, to be precise. Hisshou Pachinko/Pachislot Series 1: Shinseiki Evangelion - Magokoro wo, Kimi ni debuted as a pachislot machine, then was released by D3 as a PS2 game in September. It may seem like a miss to people who want substantial Eva games, but this is probably going to sell.
