Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise is on the way to Nintendo DS
THQ repeats as Rare's publisher for this new handheld game
Ever have to tell someone the good news followed by the bad news? We’ve all had that told to us at least once in our lives. Today it’ll be MundoRare’s duty.
Good news: If this BBFC link is legit (and all signs point to it), Viva Piñata DS is now renamed Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise. Kinky and a half.
Bad news: THQ’s publishing it if this is true.
“But hey guys,” you may ask. “Why is this bad? I loved Bratz: Rock Angelz!” Well, THQ published the four Rare titles that were announced in 2001. Banjo-Pilot aside, BK: Grunty’s Revenge failed to sell despite the Banjo name, Sabre Wulf was hard to find, and It’s Mr. Pants wasn’t even sold in some parts of the world. Combine that with the absolute lack of promotion of any of the titles, and you can see why Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise might be that title that doesn’t sell. Or that title that can’t be found. Or hell, that title that won’t even be sold in a country where games are sold like hotcakes! Who knows when it comes to THQ?
MundoRare will let you know more about this Pocket Paradise as it comes; but in the meantime, you may want to check out the complete gallery of screenshots that are already available.
