Viva Piñata coming to Nintendo DS


OK let me start off by saying that we don't normally post on other systems as you have heard Rod smack say on the zune cast many times this is an Xbox only zone. But RARE is owned by Microsoft witch owns Xbox witch is where the first viva game can be played so in the famous words of Korn "its all in the family" lol
Now that i justified myself here's what joystiq has to say about it ..
During a Viva Piñata panel at Comic-Con, Rare announced a Nintendo DS
version of their well-received Xbox 360 title, Viva Piñata. A Rare developer answered some basic questions on the PinataIsland.info forum, quelling fears that the title would not be developed by Rare – he said, "Very definitely 'yes' on this one. We have a dedicated handheld dev team." – and that the gameplay would be different – he said, "Game play wise, yes. It's the same game ... ." Still no word on whether or not the game will take advantage of the DS' Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.While it's not a huge surprise – Shane Kim intimated as much to 1UP – it's curious to see Microsoft publishing a title on a competitor's platform. If they can get the Pokemon crowd hooked on Viva Piñata via the enormously popular DS, then we're betting some of those kids just may grow up to be 360 owners.
