Viewtiful Joe DS: New screens

DS News | Viewtiful Joe: Double Trouble

It's one of the most visually stunning console games around and, as these new screens show, Viewtiful Joe's unique comic strip look has been transferred to Nintendo DS without losing any of its impact. The game will make full use of DS's unique attributes with the top screen showing a close-up of the key action occurring on the bottom screen. The stylus and the touch-screen come into play when solving puzzles, such as stroking the screen to hit switches or even rubbing it so hard that the ...

Viva Pinata looks all set for its gardening debut on DS

DS News from N4G | Viva Pinata

DS - Viva Pinata - Viva Pinata looks all set for its gardening debut on DS

All's been rather quiet since the game was confirmed as being in development by Microsoft-owned studio Rare last year, with no news on the official title, publisher or release date made available.

According to BBFC's website though, a game called Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise has been passed for release under a U rating - that is it contains no material likely to offend or harm - by publisher THQ - so that seems to be the game's full title, its publisher and the news it must be complete in order to have been submitted to the BBFC.

Quartermann: Viva Pinata to Wii, No BioShock PS3?

DS News from N4G | Viva Pinata

DS - Viva Pinata - Quartermann: Viva Pinata to Wii, No BioShock PS3?

The latest issue of EGM contains some tasty Quartermann rumors. With Viva Pinata already heading to the Nintendo DS and the continued success of mini-game compilations on Wii, doesn't it make sense Viva Pinata: Party Animals should show up on Wii? Q seems to think so, but it doesn't seem like it'll be hitting day-an-date this Fall.

Also, those rumors of BioShock coming to the PlayStation 3? Scrap 'em; apparently, the incredible success of 2K Games' new IP on Xbox 360 (and PC) means Microsoft has snatched the rights to keep Rapture on their hardware. The additional content originally planned for the better-late-than-never PS3 version may show up in a Game of the Year edition or downloadable content on Xbox Live.

Man gets girl through Viva Pinata

DS News from N4G | Viva Pinata

DS - Viva Pinata - Man gets girl through Viva Pinata

A dedicated Viva Pinata player in Jacksonville, Florida concocted a plan to get his girl by getting her hooked on the Xbox 360 and VP. "I just bought a 360 and VP for the sole reason of getting my girl addicted to VP and on her own system," he boasts.

But it actually worked. "Well, I decided to propose to her, so I sent the only diamond my digger has ever found, with a note attached asking her to marry me. When she got it (across the room on the other TV) she giggled and said I was silly. Then I pulled out the real deal, got on a knee and started getting cried upon. She said yes, so next spring we are getting married!"

Brings a tear to your eye doesn't it, the fact that they must have two TVs and 360 consoles in the same room? Imagine the LAN possibilities..
