MundoRare writes: No Holiday Season is complete without the traditional Rare Xmas Greeting, and this year isn't an exception! [...] The message from Rare coming along with this spiffy greeting card goes as follows: 'We wish everyone a very merry Xmas, a happy New Year and look forward to a fun-filled 2009 :)'
Back in April this year, Disney Pictures announced like a zillion movies coming from all their divisions during the next four years. [...] The last of them, currently scheduled for a 2012 release, was called Newt. Some of you may have instantly thought of Viva Piñata's utterly beautiful newtgats after reading that. [...] However, the distance between Rare's and Pixar's newts narrows if we know that both are meant to perpetuate their breed.
Mundorare: VPPP was officially going to be first released in North America on September 2nd, along with its Xbox counterpart, Trouble in Paradise; but it didn't make into stores in time, and was delayed a week, to be finally available on September 9th. [...] More problems, if not a total chaos, is what we can find in the more dispersed European market. While, according to THQ early plans, PP was also officially going to be released along with TiP on September 5th, the game has only seen the light of day in the UK and Germany. [...] For the rest of PAL territories we can only find a complete plethora of confusing release dates and problems for pre-ordering.

High prices in PAL regions and unexpected delays cloud the release of the two new Viva Piñata titles for both Xbox 360 and Nintendo DS
Recent claims indicate that Rare, the development team behind the Banjo and Viva pinata games, allmost bought us a horrible cross console hybrid... well nearly...
Rare just confirmed worldwide release dates for Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise to VG247.
Judging by these new images, the DS's garden looks just as busy and lush as the Xbox 360's. Considering the inherent portability of the handheld console this forthcoming conversion will hopefully lend itself better to the regular maintenance requirements that make for flourishing, piñata-rich vegetation.
Rare has admitted that it almost made DS title Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise compatible with its older sibling Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise on Microsoft's Xbox 360.
As we discussed in our preview last week, the forthcoming 360 game supports the Xbox Live Vision camera by allowing players to scan barcodes that will unlock additional pinatas in the game.
