PopCap Expands Bookworm(TM) and Bejeweled Twist(TM) Franchises With All-New
Adaptations for Nintendo DSiWare and Nintendo DS
PopCap's First DSiWare Titles Deliver Unprecedented Depth and Fun for
Nintendo's Online Store; DS Retail Installments Offer More Challenge and
Feature-Rich GamePlay Than Ever

SEATTLE, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- PopCap Games, the leading developer and
publisher of the world's most widely played video games, today announced the
upcoming launch of two major adaptations of Bookworm(TM) and two, first-ever
video game platform adaptations of Bejeweled Twist(TM). These new iterations
of two of PopCap's most successful franchises, mark PopCap's entry into the
DSiWare(TM) market, and its continued support of Nintendo DS(TM) with all-new,
feature-rich versions, fully optimized for the Nintendo systems.

Bookworm will be available for the DSiWare service later this month, followed
by Bejeweled Twist for DSiWare in mid-October. Bookworm for DS will launch at
retail on December 1, 2009 and Bejeweled Twist for DS will be released at
retail in Q1 of 2010.

"We're bringing serious innovation to Bookworm and Bejeweled Twist - two of
our most important game franchises - to deliver unique features and cool new
multiplayer capabilities that have been specifically designed for the Nintendo
systems," said Ed Allard, vice president of strategic development at PopCap.
"This Fall, Nintendo DSi Shop will give consumers an immediate jolt of high
quality fun and value with titles that feature more great gameplay content
than any other downloadable titles available on this platform. We're
following them up with enhanced and expanded, must-have retail versions for
the DS that are the most full-featured installments of Bookworm and Bejeweled
Twist we've ever created."

Bookworm DSiWare and DS
Bookworm was originally released by PopCap in January of 2005 and has been
ported and re-optimized for ten different platforms, boasting over 100 million
downloads, and making it the world's most popular digital word game. Now, for
the first time, Bookworm has been adapted for Nintendo DSiWare and Nintendo DS
with an array of new features and modes that are exclusively available on DS.
The DSiWare version of Bookworm includes the complete Classic mode and has
been specifically tuned for dual-screen, vertical use. The DS version offers
all of the content that has made Bookworm so popular as well as entirely new
gameplay not available anywhere else, including the multiplayer Bookworm
Battle mode, 20 all-new Collectible Books, the ability to construct a library
based on your game progress, and the all-new "Lex-Ray" - a fun new way for the
game's hero, "Lex," to measure and track your growing spelling and vocabulary
prowess.

With both new versions of Bookworm, players whet their appetite for spelling
fun in PopCap's hit word-puzzle game, an immersive title for word game
aficionados of all ages and levels. Players link adjoining letter tiles to
build words, complete each level and feed "Lex." They'll use Reward Tiles and
spell Bonus Words to boost their score.

Bejeweled Twist DSiWare and DS
Bejeweled Twist was originally released to critical acclaim in October 2008
and these two new versions of Bejeweled Twist are the very first video game
platform adaptations of this important franchise. Bejeweled Twist now
features the ability to challenge and play other gamers over an ad-hoc
wireless connection. Playing on either the DS, or on the Nintendo DSi(TM)
system, this is the first game to allow for interoperable multiplayer gaming
between these two platforms.

In Bejeweled Twist, players rotate 2x2 blocks of gems in an effort to create a
line of three or more gems of the same type. They don't have to match every
move - instead they can freely rotate gems anywhere on the board, allowing
increased strategic freedom to plan combinations, cascades and chains of
various matches. With its phenomenal production values, Bejeweled Twist
bedazzles players with a wealth of new power-ups and obstacles. New gem types
include Flame, Lightning and Fruit gems that produce fiery explosions and
other powerful effects; and new obstacles such as Bomb and Locked gems as well
as Coal will challenge players as never before. Additionally, a host of new
game modes offer vastly different ways to experience Bejeweled Twist.

Bejeweled Twist for DSiWare features the addicting gameplay of Classic and
Multiplayer modes, offering infinite replayability. Bejeweled Twist DS is a
full-featured version containing even more gameplay action, including three
additional game modes: Zen (for a quick stress-busting experience), Blitz (for
past-paced action to challenge even the most hardcore players) and Challenge
(featuring infinite action and multiple levels of difficulty). This is the
first time that Bejeweled Twist has been ported to any video game console.
