PopCap denies Peggle DS 'rumor'

by James Ransom-Wiley { Feb 7th 2008 at 4:55PM }

Not so fast peg-pounding pellet paramours! PopCap has promptly pulled the plug on PocketGamer's proof of Peggle for DS. Pop! Poof! Phizzle ... ya dig? PopCap VP of Video Game Platforms Greg Canessa issued a brief statement via press release today, claiming the ol' rumor mill has kicked into "overdrive."

"We have ambitious plans for many of our titles including Peggle, and are eager to bring its peg-popping pleasures to as many appropriate platforms and devices as possible," said Canessa, "But Nintendo has not approved this product, we have not signed a developer to port Peggle to DS, and we have not green lighted this project."

Crap, I guess that means I'll need pirate it on PC instead of waiting to pirate it on the DS.

This game is digital crack.

Let's face it, the DS just isn't a viable platform for casual gaming

Don't give up hope! It doesn't mean they don't plan on porting it... It's just not green lighted by PopCap yet. After they green light it, then Nintendo can approve it and then they can find a developer. It's going to happen, the only question is when.
