This game is one of the best casual/sim games of the decade. The landscaping was phenominal, and the realtime growing and day night cycle was perfect. Visuals were some of the best for the time.
Surely there is demand for a sequel seeing the success of other sim/casual games like Stardew and Animal Crossing. Even if rare doesn't wanna do it, the formula could be easily copied using different IP. Who else wants to see a spiritual successor to the great garden builder Viva Pinata?
I'll never forget, doenut glitched in my file and no matter what it would never joined. To this day I've never had a doenut in the first viva pinata. The ds title isn't bad if you can stand the graphics.
Actually never played the game, and no one I knew had it (my little cousins had the party spinoff game, but not reg Viva Pinata). Do remember watching the cartoon a bit though. Watched an episode last year, and it did not really age well.
Yea the cartoon was ok, i feel like the games wouldn't have aged too badly. I'd play it right now if I had a 360 that worked
Had no idea there was a DS version. Nintendo needs to revive this after seeing their crazy animal crossing success.
Wouldn't mind a third game on Xsex.
The game is almost entirely about visuals. Just make it pretty as fuck.
>doenut glitched in my file
You're not the only one. Everyone I knew who had this game hated that deer.
I revisit and still have a blast. Shame about the memory limit that reduces you from having a fantastic busy island. I'd like Microsoft to port TIP to the PC but it's doubtful.
When I used to smoke weed, I played this game a lot. Good times.
That was the only part that sucked, the memory limit. I always wanted to have a bigger garden with more stuff.
I'd play it but none of the pirated versions work, and you can't legally buy it on PC anymore or play it if you even bought it.
Why would Nintendo revive it?
It's Microsoft's IP
i was born in 2002 and played the pog outta viva pinata. Oh the memories....
i'd like a steam release at some point
Both mainline VP games are back compat with enhancements on xbone. Would be nice to see another. The closest we'll get is Bugsnax.
Also a 2002chad.
this game was hella based back in the days
I played the DS one, it was cute. Wish it had a sequel with expanded functionality.
Loved my water gardens with newtgats
Just buy a 360 for like $50 and play it. Trouble in paradise is the superior version anyways
Trouble in Paradise felt like there was too much in the game for some reason
I think it would have been better if there was 3 gardens to play with, and the arctic and desert animals were exclusive to a garden in that Biome. It just feels extremely limiting to have so much choice in Pinata, yet can only really fully choose one aesthetic, and a tiny number of Pinatas that fit the theme you were going for
you could probably get a launch xbone for the same price at a pawn shop and it'll play better
Oh yes, buy a 360 for a game that came out on PC that I want to play on PC.
Big Brain
Water gardens were awesome. I remember making them for chippopotamus
lol imagine being such a fucking poorfag you can't afford a 15 year old 360. and the pc version uses GFWL anyway, faggot.
great game
Yeah I can't spend $100 on a system for 1 game when literally everything is being looted and bombed. Sorry
Friendly reminder it has a pc release that runs well and can be Easilly cracked to remove gfwl
unfortunately, rare can't make good games anymore.
I played it pirated some time ago so the issue is on your side.
Trouble in paradise didn't have a PC release though. Unless you want to play the strictly inferior version of the game Xbox is your only option dumbass.
Everyone likes talking about Rare's catalogue and how games like Donkey Kong Country and Banjo Kazooie were the best ones, but to me, it was Viva Pinata. It was also the last game Grant Kirkhope did music for when he was still a part of Rare. The visuals are nice, the gameplay is addicting, and the soundtrack is top level comfy that you wouldn't expect for a game like this.
Sauce?
This. Rare is dead. That's who someone (nintendo?) needs to make a spiritual successor by copying the formula and using unique intellectual property
These games had such good music. I wish they would make another one
Absolutely the comfiest. This game is a real hidden gem that i was extremely surprised at when i got it. I remember being a 12 year old in blockbuster looking for my next game to rent when I saw this one and thought "what the hell I'll try it". Best decision ever.
