First look at Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise on Nintendo DS

Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise for Nintendo DS is based on Microsoft Game Studios’ highly-rated original Viva Pinata game for Xbox 360. Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise features an array of content exclusive to Nintendo DS and an intuitive control scheme designed to take full advantage of the DS touch screen and stylus, making it a breeze to navigate through the garden as the first gameplay videos below will show.

In Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise, players will inherit a neglected garden on Pinata Island and turn it into a pinata paradise by tending to all aspects of cleaning the garden, growing and maintaining vegetation, caring for and breeding pinatas, as well as attracting new pinata species. The game features seven all-new pinata species, each with new requirements, houses and unique cut scenes. Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise also includes twelve full motion video clips that serve as tutorial levels within the game. The videos feature the stars of the Fox 4Kids Viva Pinata TV series, including Hudson Horstashio, Fergy Fudgehog and Paulie Pretztail. The brand-new Playground mode allows players to create a lush garden full of exciting and exotic pinatas in a very short amount of time. In addition, certain rare pinatas can only be acquired by using the Nintendo DS local wireless connection, where players can transfer items from their garden to a friend’s garden.

I’m still so undecided about this game..I’ve never played the xbox version, but I do enjoy watching the show. I also am into the whole Animal Crossing/simulation kind of game. The previews aren’t enough!! Thanks though for the clips.
