Plants vs. Zombies set for May release on Nintendo DS

Mastertronic Group have today announced that PopCap Games’ Plants vs. Zombies is to be released in the UK for Nintendo DS on May 6th.

In Plants vs. Zombies players are tasked with fending a mob of brain-hungry zombies away from their home, with your only defence being an arsenal of zombie-zapping plants. You’ll have to utilise peashooters, wall-nuts, cherry bombs and more to destroy the zombies before they reach your front door.

“Plants vs. Zombies is the fastest-selling iPhone/iPod strategy game of all time, selling 300,000 copies in the first nine days it was available on the App store,” commented Mastertronic’s Product Director, Neil McKenna. “With such a proven track record on a portable platform, we’re delighted to bring Plants vs. Zombies to the world’s most popular handheld gaming device, the Nintendo DS.”
