Rare's Viva Piñata: First Videos
Announcement trailer and character intros!
Following the announcement of Viva Piñata a couple of weeks ago, we take a look at the first footage of what to expect from the huge new project.
We've even managed to get the aspect ratio correct in these videos which is more than can be said for just about every other site that posts game videos on the whole Internet.
Described by Microsoft and 4Kids Entertainment as a "high-energy, mass-appeal" entertainment property, Viva Piñata is created by Rare Ltd and brings a vibrant world of living piņata animals to video games, television and beyond.
The "Viva Piņata" universe showcases an engaging cast of colorful, wild-roaming piņata animals that entertain and challenge imaginations. The "Viva Piņata" world will include a Saturday morning 3-D animated television series.
The first of our two videos today is the announcement video with snippets of in-game footage, and the second is a lengthy video letting you meet the game's characters in more detail.
Stay tuned for more on Viva Piñata.
