Peggle coming to iPhone in March

by Alexander Sliwinski { Jan 23rd 2009 at 9:32AM }

The last vestiges of our dwindling global economic workforce will cease if rumors of Peggle coming to iPhone are true. According to Wired, PopCap Games announced Peggle's next mobile destination via its "official" Twitter feed. The company wouldn't comment further, and actually went so far as to remove the tweet; however, the internet doesn't forget, as evidenced by the image we captured above.

Peggle was actually one of our Top 10 games back in 2007. Hopefully, the company removed the tweet not because it was incorrect, but because it intends to keep the secret until iPhone Peggle receives FDA approval. The Peggle must flow.

Update: A PopCap representative confirmed to Joystiq that Peggle on iPhone is "launching in early March."

Not fair. The only break from my Peggle addiction is on the road. What are you trying to do to me Popcap!

But when is it coming to XBLA? That’s what I’m saving my points for!

It's coming to XBLA "early 2009" so, soon.

Twitter is pretty much the LAZIEST way to announce a new product.

Could I just point out that, at least on Verizon, there is a cell phone version of Peggle which is practically identical to Peggle Deluxe?

It was like $7 and it really is a nearly 1:1 translation of the Steam game, complete with the challenge levels.

In fact the only difference I could find was that (for obvious reasons) the game does not go into special effects bonanza during extreme fever.
