Rovio's "Mighty Eagle," Peter Vesterbacka, announced during his day-one
GDC panel that -- unsurprisingly -- all major holidays will eventually be worked into themed updates for the company's mega-hit
Angry Birds, including the upcoming St. Patrick's Day. According to Vesterbacka, the new content will be "very green" and "filled with more pigs than ever." The millions of
Angry Birds addicts should be tickled
pink by this news.
Speaking of addicts, Vesterbacka says that you (yes, you!) really like the option to buy the Mighty Eagle power-up. He reports that 40 percent of all players who've purchased
Angry Birds since the "smart bomb" style, level-skipping item was introduced last December have bought it at least once -- at 99 cents a pop.
