Plants vs Zombies coming to iPhone January 2010 photo

How do we know? Well, it wasn't from a press release or anything. No, it was a reply on the Wall of PopCap's Facebook page. How hip and modern and fresh are we for pulling news items off Facebook. Aw, who am I kidding? My mom just signed up for Facebook. "I got a Facebook," she says." I'm getting pictures of relatives' babies now. Somehow they don't mix with my drunken party poses and my massive gallery of bird-flipping shots.

Oh, yeah, Plants vs. Zombies. Amazing game. One that needs to be portable to be fully enjoyed. According to a reply on the Wall of their page, PopCap says that we can expect the iPhone version of the tower defense title in late January. Next month. Nice. I already have the PC and Mac versions. Another won't hurt anything.

In related news, PopCap titles Bookworm, Peggle, and Chuzzle are on sale on the App Store for $1.99 now.

True, but the iPhone bring almost guaranteed sales figures. I don't doubt that we'll start seeing a lot more Android games in 2010.

I'll pick it up when it hits a $1 like Peggle. I will, however, buy it day 1 on XBLA.

Don't forget Blackberry!

Anywho, it was supposed to come out in December, but they pushed it back. Can't wait, day 1 purchase!

This was announced several months ago, but the update for late January is pretty recent and was first announced on their Twitter (afaik).

Also, @Sedeolnedus and AlienGuy18 - PopCap said that they aren't really sure how to work the controls using a controller - the iPhone port is first because touch screen works as well as a mouse for this game.

Yeah, I would imagine they would actually just need to re-programme each wave to allow for the time of placing something on a specific tile

I thought Plants vs Zombies on the iPhone happened a long time ago... I already played the hell out of that game, (love it!) but just out of curiosity, is there any plans to bring to consoles?

This was announced back in August, e.g.:
Plants Vs. Zombies to iPhone

Er, actually, never mind. This Dtoid story is really about the first announcement of the release date, not simply that it's coming to iPhone.

That's great. I've already beat it about 3 or 4 times on the PC, though.
