PopCap Games, the worldwide leader in casual video games, today announced the widely anticipated release of Plants vs. Zombies(TM) for the Nintendo DS(TM) and Nintendo DSiWare(TM) in Europe and Australia.

The Nintendo DSiWare version of Plants vs. Zombies contains Adventure mode gameplay, all four of the new mini-games from the Nintendo DS adaptation and one Nintendo DSiWare exclusive mini-game, Zombie Trap.

"Plants vs. Zombies is already a fan favorite on PC, iPhone, iPad, and Xbox, and with this latest incarnation, we're bringing something special to Nintendo DS enthusiasts that'll keep players equally enthralled," said Ed Allard, head of worldwide studios at PopCap.

Plants vs. Zombies for the Nintendo DS has been tuned specifically for dual-screen gameplay and features multiplayer action via an ad-hoc wireless network in the game's Versus mode, where players can go head-to-head against one another as sunflowers, or zombies. Along with this, and all three modes of original content, the game introduces non-stop action with four all-new - and exclusive - mini-games such as Air Raid, Home Run Derby, Heat Wave and BOMB All Together where players will blast zombies into the hereafter!
