Pure love, more Killer Instinct and Master Chief in Viva Piñata
Celebrate the upcoming Valentine's Day and the Halo Wars release
Since the release of Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise last September, Rare haven’t missed any chances to promote one of the main innovations in the series: the possibility of adding customized content by scanning Piñata Vision Cards with the Live Vision Camera.
They took advantage of the Tokyo Game Show, Halloween, Christmas time, the double Banjo-Kazooie release, and they even hinted at a possible KI release sometime in the future. And, in the latest days, another good bunch of different Vision Cards have been made available.
To celebrate the upcoming Valentine’s Day this weekend, Rare have published a new Vision Card featuring the always loveable Macaracoon. According to James Thomas, this card “can only be scanned on the 14th, so you’ll have to check with your significant others that you’re allowed to play with your Xboxes instead of wining and dining them.”

Only a few weeks ago, Thomas also offered four cards inspired upon the Halo 3 universe in his personal, albeit public, weblog. “Carefully constructed with my own fair hands these are the set I sent to Bungie themselves and now I feel it is time to share them with the rest of the gardening world,” he said. “Imagine if Master Chief were a piñata, although the Cortana card is definitely my favourite recreation,” he added, encouraging all users to discover for themselves the surprise behind them, once they have been scanned.
What’s more, yesterday Rare also decided to extend the Killer Instinct references in the Piñata world with another cards trio featuring Cinder, Glacius and Chief Thunder. As in the previous ocassion, these will also unlock some piñata species with a clear resemblance to those classic Rare characters.
So, either if you are a pure romantic, a bloodthirsty fighters lover or, simply, you can’t wait until Halo Wars is released later this month, this is the perfect opportunity to take up Trouble in Paradise again!
