PopCap Games announced the release of Bejeweled 2 on WiiWare. Bejeweled is celebrating its 10th anniversary and makes a debut on another platform. Players can now experience Bejeweled on the Nintendo Wii and the game has been redone to work on the Nintendo Wii console.

The concept of the game is still the same, with players having to match three or more of the same colored gems to clear them off the board, but the game play has been adapted for the Wii. Bejeweled 2 has Mii integration that lets players have their Mii with them while they play. The Mii will react to good matches and keep track of your stats. There are local and global leader boards and there are four different control modes. Players can use the Wii mote, the classic controller or the Nunchuck.

“Bejeweled 2 for WiiWare delivers a host of exclusive features and capabilities that take full advantage of the Nintendo Wii, and catapult the Bejeweled franchise to new heights,” noted Ed Allard, head of worldwide studios at PopCap. “Along with enthralling gameplay from the original Mac/PC versions, the Wii version integrates customizable Mii characters and global leaderboards, and uses unique control systems that feature the Wii Remote – all of which add new dimensions of fun and excitement to the Bejeweled experience.”

If you own a Nintendo Wii and like Bejeweled, you can pick it up on WiiWare for 1000 Wii Points.
