I read on another forum that PopCap has one (1) developer working on the iPhone port...

[Rohan Dalal]

looks really good..ill look into it
if it gets good reviews and pulls well in app store, i might snag this app :)

No need to wait just download the pc trial version and i guarantee ur gonna get it

[lhardwick69]

i played pc version from popcap games and its a fun game very challenging but i hope when they release it that it has all the updated levels another game to try is peggle nights later

[brendons]

didn't the twitter post say peggle would be coming out in early march?
and then popcap confirmed it?

....
it would seem that early march ended yesterday :confused:

i was just wondering 'cause i really need to feed my peggle addiction :rolleyes:

[dashzed]

I had this game on my click-wheel ipod, and i LOVED it!!! I'm so getting this as long as it's kinda cheap... :)

[jmelrose]

... I'm so getting this as long as it's kinda cheap... :)

Yes, because nothing rewards a dev who makes a great game (that you can't wait to get) like saying, "I really want it, but I don't want to pay you much for it."

As if these games are fundamental to living... well, I guess to SOME they might be.

That being said, I am excited for Peggle, and having bought it once already for my clickwheel ipod, I will gladly pay another $5-7 for it. It is a great time-killer, loads of fun, and highly replayable.

True but not true at these hard times and competitive prices other companies are offering

[Hodapp]

True but not true at these hard times and competitive prices other companies are offering

Peggle for the DS sells for $30, and it's almost impossible to find it sells so well... So uh, don't expect PopCap to price Peggle to compete with the rest of the 99 cent shovelware.

[holliberry]

So is this just going to be a port of the PC version? I was lucky enough to pick that up when they had a $5 sale. I <3 Peggle, but I will probably only buy another copy if it is somehow different than the one I already have. :)

[mrbass]

Yea found Peggle for $27 at newegg but yea amazon has it for $30. Question is since Peggle Dual Shot has both original and nights will the iphone version have both too? I sure hope they don't split them up at $5 a pop but instead offer package deal and say we get both of them for $6 or $7...I'll be willing to up my spending limit to $7 ($1 more than normal) just for this rare exception. If they do end up splitting them up then I'll only get the nights version as I'm still working my way through trying to clear original to unlike nights but I already cleared it couple times on my mac version.

Knowing popcap they will probably just give u the original just live xbox live, don't think they would put the effort to include both on the iphone. Would be nice if it would though

[brendons]

i asked the popcap person on the facebook group what the deal was and i got this response:

PopCap Games: peggle for iphone is coming out soon! sorry, no exact date yet!



:confused:

[Scott30]

Peggle for the DS sells for $30, and it's almost impossible to find it sells so well... So uh, don't expect PopCap to price Peggle to compete with the rest of the 99 cent shovelware.

Well the DS version contains something like over 100 levels and the Xbox Aracade version that just came out only features 55, like most XBLA games its 10 dollars.

I'd prob bet on the iphone game only having the 55 levels like the XBLA version and I'd prob see at least 5 bucks, 7-8 tops and thats a bit much. Theres not a whole lot of gameplay to the game but it is fun.

I missed this game somehow through the years but played the XBLA version and really liked it I cant wait for this one on iphone.

[iPodTouchApplication]

good graphics

Pocketgamer Uk got a hands on the other day with, yep you guessed it... PEGGLE iPHONE!

http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPhone/Peggle+%28iPhone%29/news.asp?c=12312

Sounds like a port of the original.... Man I can't wait... :D

[DieseliPhone]

This has got to be out soon, right?!! Anyone got a friend at Popcap willing to spill the beans? I thought the week of GDC would make a great launch for iPhone Peggle, but . . .

[b_o_h_i_c_a]

good graphics

+1
Agreed!

[Fafner]

Soooo......

Peggle......

Is it still coming?

[TideTime]

I really hope so. I'll buy Peggle in an instant!

[PaPaFuNk]

I have waited so freaking long for this I don't even think I will buy it anymore. They could have sold me on both the xbox360 and iphone version. Now I have played the 360 version for 2 months, I don't desire it on the iphone anymore. Lagging on the release date will impact on sales badly. At least as far as I am concerned, they simply waited too long to release this (if they ever do) after stating an early March release. It is almost May. :confused:

[1337brian]

We should give PopCap an ultimatum, Release Peggle by the end of the week or __________ Won't buy it when it does launch....






"Release Peggle by the end of the week or _1337brian_ Won't buy it when it does launch...."

And for each day that goes by after that week without a launch, a kitten will die as well...

[Swordplay]

I cant wait! This game is a blast on the 360.

Don't know what PopCap gains by being so secretive on the launch date. I even read an article from a hands on at GDC'09. Let the info flow, I say!!!!

@ 1337brian - You may have to start biting the heads off of bats as well!! :D Or maybe start selling illegally harvested Unicorn Horns on ebay!!!:eek:

[wildcardd]

Finally! My life will be complete May 12th.

[crunc]

I'm with PaPaFunk, or almost. I've played the Mac version of the original quite a bit now. If what they release is Peggle Deluxe, I don't think I'll be buying it now. I'd have been all over it if they had released sooner. However if they release something like Peggle Dual Shot, or just Peggle Nights, I will buy it. So now it depends on exactly what it proves to be. FYI, I briefly had Dual Shot (Nintendo DS) and was pretty disappointed in the lack of production values. It's not the same without them. Hopefully an iPod touch version will be much better.

[Hodapp]

Lagging on the release date will impact on sales badly.

What.

[DieseliPhone]

This game will rock - whatever version they put out!!!

[mactds]

Awesome! Finally May 5th Plants vs Zombies and May 12th Peggle for iphone it looks like Popcap is going to get some of my money in May.
I'm thinking it will be $4.99 like bookworm and will pick it up if it's that price.

So let's see May 12th.... that's 13 more days? which means only 13 more kittens have to die!... That's good, I'm short on gas driving to the damn humane society everyday! Anyways I couldn't be happier! I actually never heard of Peggle until about 2 months ago, which since then I can say I am an addict!

It's amazing how quickly after your threat arrose that PopCap fessed up with an actual release date!! The looming cloud of PETA becoming involved would have just been too much bad PR!! AND, I personally feel it was a damn good thing that rabid gamers did NOT have to resort to selling illegally harvested Unicorn Horns on ebay to force PopCap's hand!! ;)

Plants vs Zombies iphone? Or plants vs zombie PC?

[Swordplay]

It should have an introductory price of 99 cents since I bought it on XBLA.

Plants vs Zombies will be pc/mac initially and that's what I was referring to, I don't know if they have any plan to release it for the iphone. But it still looks great

[brendons]

thank GOD
I have been waiting for MONTHS for this

you just made my day :)

and my may 12th

[Pitch_Blak]

May 12th is way past "late March".

At least I have something to look forward to.

[Jakkers]

Thank GOD this is finally coming out. Best news I've heard all day. Better news would be "its out right now", but this'll have to do.

Wow dude, I think you might have some problems on your hands. I have not seen a more blatant copy of Peggle than this game. You even took the whole "slow motion, last peg" thing from them, complete with the same style music afterwards. I truly hope that your game is pulled from the app store. While I actually think it looks pretty good, I hate it when devs steal game ideas, especially when the actual dev is releasing a real version of the game a few days after.

I'll be the first to say that we were certainly influenced by Peggle and I was disappointed that they've taken so long to release it for the iPhone/iPod Touch. But I wouldn't say we blatantly copied them any more than I'd say any first person shooter is a blatant copy of Doom. Like I said before, I love Peggle and I think what we've done is an evolution of the genre.

That said, you're right - this is a Peggle thread and this conversation and maybe my tongue-in-cheek statement was inappropriate here.

Just posted a comment to your thread - I think Rockchinko can hold its own!!! Looks great. I appreciate the heads up - never heard of it before.

Peggle is gonna rock - soooo glad to know a date. Looks like I'll get a week or so to enjoy Rockchinko before Peggle hits, too!!! Good games a'comin'!!!:)

3 MORE SLEEPS TO PEGGLE!!

I've never been more excited for another game to come out on my iPod touch! I think it's only right to stir the hype machine until release, this will be 'game crack' for many people!! :p

[Pitch_Blak]

I'm totally stoked for it.

I'm going to try to convince my mom to buy it, mostly because she's already addicted to Bejeweled 2, and mostly because I'm broke. :D

Its gonna be my most played game by the looks of things :D

I'm not sure how much replay this will have, but hey, it's peggle.

[1337brian]

Well the PC ver. gets a lot of replay from me, it's just a really easy game to jump into and out of... This has been my most anticipated game yet... Only 4 More kittens to go!

Ah, I see. Any news on price? Peggle is quite a high profile game so although a very casuall and simple game I'm guessing they may go for a £5.99 pricepoint.

$4.99 is likely. Bookworm's regular price is that amount.

[FilthyCanadian]

Bejewelled came out at 9.99, by the way.

Hopefully it isn't that high. As much as I love Peggle, I'd rather check out Assassin's Creed or Need for Speed if it came to $10.

I take it this is "Peggle Deluxe"? I was hoping for Peggle Nights or, better, something akin to Peggle Dual Shot. Still, I'll probably buy it, and at full price. $5 is a good price anyway.

[Sambo110]

Just because I am nice :).
