We told you so! Peggle now confirmed for the XBLA

Fresh off of yesterday's ESRB searching for unannounced Xbox Live Arcade games, we just received confirmation that one of the three games we discovered will release to the Arcade Q2 of 2008. Our detective work must have put too much pressure on the studio to keep it a secret any longer.

PopCap Games just confirmed with Shacknews that Peggle is indeed releasing to the XBLA later this year when unicorns dance across your screen and take over your soul. Seriously guys, Peggle is like crack rolled in heroine laced ecstasy ... you will become a Peggle addict later this year. And we can't wait!

Well played, X3F.

Figures they would make the announcement just after I bought it on Steam. Oh well, at least I got it for half price (10 bucks), which is about what I would expect it to go for on XBLA. Besides, I strongly suspect that the game will be easier with a mouse + wheel than an analog stick on a control pad.

Though if they wanted to patch support for that into the PC version, I wouldn't complain...

I played Peggle last night for the first time. I was up till 2am on that damn thing.

I wonder if this'll be a 1200 MS point release. It seems like it is addictive enough to get people to bite.

I tried it the other night after Joystiq gave it a GOTY nod. I had an enjoyable hour with the game, but it wasn't the insanely-addictive experience I was expecting. In my opinion, PopCap had a much more dangerous game with Zuma.

P.S. - Speaking of XBLA addiction, I'm also pretty sure I almost gave myself eye damage from staring at Lumines for too long. That was so good you'd forget to blink for a while.
