Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise Gets a Release Date

Rare confirmed release dates for Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise to VG247 this morning. Those hoping to get in on some crazy Piñata action via their Nintendo DS can now look forward to reveling in both the zaniness and sheer weird fun of our favorite paper mache critters stuffed with candy.

Based on the hugely popular Viva Piñata video game for the Xbox 360 and the hit TV series, Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise allows players to turn a neglected garden into a lush paradise that will attract a wide variety of colorful piñatas. Build piñata homes, plant and maintain vegetation, feed and breed piñatas, decorate the garden and much more. With the swipe of a stylus and their own creativity, players can create the ultimate piñata paradise.

Features:

• Customization: Design a beautiful and welcoming garden environment to attract piñatas, working up to rare and exotic breeds.
• Caretaking: Ensure the happiness of piñata residents by tending to their needs and maintaining the garden environment.
• Collect Them All: Complete the Piñata Pyramid with over 60 piñatas to collect, including 7 brand-new species.
• Training Missions: Carry out missions with characters from the TV series, including favorites Hudson Horstachio, Fergy Fudgehog, Paulie Pretztail and Franklin Fizzlybear.
• Multiplayer: Transfer items – any piñata, accessory or object – from your garden to a friend’s garden. Some exotic species can only be attracted using this feature.
• Playground Mode: Create a lush garden in a short amount of time.

You can expect the THQ published title to hit both the UK and the US on September 2 and September 5 respectively.
