PopCap Games Coming to Nintendo Handhelds
The developers at PopCap Games announced today their intentions to completely dominate the casual game market - more than they already are. Their plan of attack? Take their two most popular franchises - Bookworm and Bejeweled - and bring them to the DS and DSi.
Bookworm will be coming to the DSi in the form of a downloadable title, available by the end of the month. It will feature the Classic mode of the original game. The DS version won’t debut until December 1, but sounds like the more feature-rich version, with new content, a multiplayer mode, and innumerable ways to “measure and track your growing spelling and vocabulary prowess.”
Bejeweled Twist will be following a similar formula; the DSi version will arrive first in mid-October, and will feature only the Classic and Multiplayer modes, while the DS version will follow in Q1 2010, with more game modes and extra content. Bejeweled Twist however, will allow DS and DSi owners to play together if they both own DS copies - the first time interoperable multiplayer between the two handhelds has been possible.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
