Viva Pinata lives, gets subtitle

The BBFC seems to have confirmed two things about Rare's upcoming DS game, Viva Pinata. The first is that THQ will be publishing the software, and the second is that the subtitle for the game (at least in Europe) will be Pocket Paradise.

Until we hear something more tangible, though, we'll chalk this one up as a rumor.

Funny, I think I saw a pocket paradise in my local adult store...

To start with, Viva Pinata wasn't all that great. When they released Party Animals, I think they should have got the hint that it was a failure.

I wonder how this game will sell compared to the others...

I loved Viva Pinata -- it's a great eco-system sim -- but I agree with you. They should take the hint and let the franchise die. Then replace it with a similar game that has more "grown up" graphics.

I do not agree. Viva Pinata was fantastic. However, Party ANimals sucked. BUT, Rare made Viva Pinata, and NOT Party Animals. Since that is the case, VIva Pinata would have a better chance of having success on the Nintendo DS because it is a 'kiddy' game.
