PopCap Games has announced the forthcoming launch of Peggle Mobile, which will be made available for a wide array of handsets from all major wireless carriers in North America, the United Kingdom and parts of Europe beginning later this month.
Here’s how the game is described; “Peggle combines elements of pinball, pool and pachinko to create a completely different kind of game experience. The game challenges players to use skill, strategy and luck to clear progressively more difficult levels of orange pegs by firing a small silver ball from the top of the screen. Stationary and moving obstacles along with numerous power-ups and special effects combine with dynamically-assigned peg colors to make each level unique every time it’s played.”
Earlier this summer, PopCap also developed and launched Bejeweled 2 for the iPhone and iPod touch. Peggle will also be available for both devices. Pricing hasn’t been announced.

Peggle is hands down the best game for iPod. It’s also the best game for $5. I’ve owned it for 6 months and I still play it more than once a day (almost have all the challenges done now.) Definitely got my moneys worth out of this.
Hopefully they’ll make a Peggle 2 (with a built in level editor maybe?) for the iPod Touch rather than just port it… they better add in support for wi-fi multiplayer and new challenges if nothing else.
