EA, Popcap Games Coming to DSiWare

Electronic Arts and Popcap Games have announced games that they will release for DSiWare this fall. With some real effort finally approaching the platform, it was a matter of time before these companies joined in. Strangely enough however, Peggle isn’t on Popcap’s list yet.

No, Popcap so far has just announced Bookworm for a release sometime in September and Bejeweled Twist for an October release. Next Monday’s update is the only one left in September for Bookworm to release on.

Concerning the absence of Peggle, many DSiWare games are actually smaller versions of retail DS games, and there is already a retail version of Peggle on the DS. That however was handled by Q Entertainment, so perhaps they would need to be the ones to bring it to DSiWare.

EA has announced four games thus far. A version of Scrabble hasn’t been done on DSiWare yet, but Sudoku – which came out this week, has already had two DSiWare editions from Hudson. MySims Camera also came from EA this week while Littlest Pet Shop, along with Scrabble will be released later this fall.

This all comes on top of more substantial announced DSiWare titles like Bomberman Blitz which will have online in October, and the episodic Shantae: Risky’s Revenge also releasing this fall.
