First Plants vs. Zombies DS Trailer Sprouts and Shambles
Posted by James Newton
Popcap title in motion
We broke the news of Plants vs. Zombies coming to DS in August, but now Popcap has released the first trailer ahead of the game's release in January.
With new achievements, a two-player versus mode and four brand new minigames, the trailer should allay fears that the game wouldn't justify its full retail price tag. It also contains footage of a unicorn with a zombie face, nearly beating the zombie bobsled team seen in the iPhone trailer.

Couldn't they add new zombies, plants and especially new stages instead? Now that could tempt me into buying it again, even though I already own the iPhone version.

Zombie Bjorn! I wonder why the game seems not as smooth as it should be though
@keeper I did see a new zombie or two, one being in the new minigame

Is this a DSiWare title or a full release?

New content=cool.
Lackluster frame rate and animations=not cool.
I'll stick with my itouch version. ($2.99)

@SoulSilver Retail. But it's supposedly going to be a budget title, like $20.

I guess if they can get $20 on the DS no point in holding my breath for a 1000 point Wii version.

I think that the unicorn might just be a nod to Peggle.

@rjejr
FYI, each blank DS cartridge costs about $10 to make. Keep this in mind.

Insta-buy. The 'choppy framerate' just seems to sort of be a graphics alteration. It looks fun.

I have this game on my Xbox 360 and it is a lot of fun. I would have picked up the DS version but I didn't want to wait until January to play it. If you haven't played this game before, I strongly recommend picking it up. It is totally worth it and Crazy Dave is just CRAAAZY awesome!

$1 on the AppStore for a limited time. But who cares, its Plants vs. Zombies, we can spend $20 on it!

Horrible. This is a retail game? DO THEY REALLY THINK THIS WILL SELL? More like a 200 point dsiware game!

I have it for the pc, and it is highly fun..and the ds, might be similer to the point and click mechanics with the pc so it might be fun to play

@Nintendoftw dude its worth more then 200 points, if youve played the orignal PC version you will see why.

I have this for PC and iPhone version..But for DS and new features, it just might tempt me into buying it again..it better have wifi or any type of multiplayer in it, though.
