Rumor: Peggle taps Nintendo DS vein [update]

PopCap co-founder John Vechey tells
PocketGamer that
crack-cocaine derivative
Peggle will be available over-the-counter for DS sometime in the future. This follows the
announcement in early January that Xbox 360 owners would be able to play the pachinko-style ball bouncer in glorious HD. Considering it's in line with PopCap's strategy, expect Peggle to eventually exist on every appropriate format possible – the article also alludes to a mobile version being in the works.
Vechey says
Peggle has now outsold
Bejeweled with over ten million downloads. He explains that the game's sales weren't doing well on many casual portals when it first released, but that PopCap kept promoting it on its website and the designer drug took off. We're just waiting for the day a PA (Peggle Anonymous) group pops up on our local community center's bulletin board.
Update: File this away as rumor for now. PopCap has issued a statement denying
Peggle has been green lighted for DS.
