Bejeweled is easily one of the most popular games ever made, and a staple diet of the pocket gamer. So it's an important step in the unsteady life of DSiWare that Bejeweled Twist has been announced for Nintendo's digital download platform.

PopCap has also announced that Bookworm is to see the transition to the dual screen platform, and that both games will later be released as retail boxed versions for i-less DS users.

And the Bejeweled developer isn't alone in showing the almost forgotten system a bit of love. EA has a decent roster of handheld titles lined up for DSi download: Scrabble, Littlest Pet Shop, MySims Camera and Sudoku (the latter two having been released already) will be arriving to prove that EA isn't favouring Sony over Nintendo.

Let's hope all this excited chatter about PSP Minis and the iPhone has finally kick started DSiWare into action.

Yes. Spanner's his real name, and he's already heard that joke you just thought of. Although Spanner's not very good, he's quite fast, and that seems to be enough to keep him in a regular supply of free games and away from the depressing world of real work.
