Well sort of...it's coming in the fall.



THQ today announced that Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise is scheduled for release this fall for Nintendo DS. The game is based on Microsoft Game Studios' highly-rated original Viva Pinata game for Xbox 360. Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise will feature 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.

"Nintendo DS is the perfect platform for the Viva Pinata franchise because players can have direct interaction with the environment and their pinatas using the stylus," said Bob Aniello, senior vice president of worldwide marketing, THQ. "We are thrilled to introduce Microsoft's critically-acclaimed Viva Pinata series to an entirely new segment of the gaming community."
