We actually
heard this last year, straight from Apple, but here's confirmation: PopCap Games has told our sister site Joystiq that
Peggle, the distractingly cute-looking yet extremely addictive puzzle shooter, is
coming to the iPhone in March of this year. If you've
played Peggle (or any of PopCap's games, really) you'll know why this is so exciting, and if you haven't yet played it, you'll be in for a treat.
Word of the game apparently sneaked out via
Popcap's official Twitter account, and while it was originally deleted (someone decided they didn't want to talk about it yet), the company later confirmed the game and the month of release. Of course, the game is currently available on the classic iPod, but it'll be that much better with touch-screen goodness added in.
Extreme Fever!

There was never a game more perfectly suited to the click-wheel iPod than Peggle. I wonder what the control scheme will be like? Perhaps a left-to-right slider.

F! This is absolutely horrible, terrible news for my hopes of productivity. (I've yet to find a local support group for Wurdle addiction.)
