Viva Piñata is finished

Microsoft has announced that Viva Piñata has now been sent off for production and will be arriving in US stores on November 9. The game's European release hasn't been announced just yet, but the game is listed on the Microsoft press site for release on December 1.

Microsoft has high hopes for Viva Piñata and the franchise will soon be entering UK households via children's TV. The 4Kids Viva Piñata TV series is already showing in North America and Microsoft has said it will make its way to our screens early in 2007.

Viva Piñata will be available in standard form and as a Special Edition. The two-disc Special Edition will come in a special rounded box and will include bonus content designed for the whole family to enjoy. Available for a limited time, the second disc will feature a number of family friendly game demos, plus a sample of the new Viva Piñata TV show.

I can't wait for all the people to MS fans start saying crap, because this game is 4 kids, so lol.

kmis876380d ago

I really hope they fixed it up since Leipzig, but I don't think they would let it go now if it hadn't been fixed.

TheMART6380d ago

Just all wait guys. Besides the blood and gore in Gears of War for adults, this game will sell systems to parents shopping for their kid's christmas presents.

But furthermore, it'll attrackt girl gamers like The Sims did and even attrackt hardcore gamers that play Gears. You'll see. It'll sell loads and loads

360 finally has ONE(count that...1) kid friendly game. that'll convince parents to buy a 360 for their kids...yes ONE game. hahaha

on another note, i did enjoy the CG animated Viva Pinata short series.

TheMART6379d ago

Well actually yes it will.

If childeren are all into something they'll cry their parents ears of for buying it.

Furthermore, Banjo Kazooie coming up for 360, what about Kameo?

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil4d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai3d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing693d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle3d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal3d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa3d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal3d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
