Belgians, Dutch jipped by Banjo, VP2 translations

360 News from N4G | Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise

360 - Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise - Belgians, Dutch jipped by Banjo, VP2 translations

From GAMER.tm: "Gamers in Belgium and Holland will be paying more than other European countries for Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts and Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise, due to the cost of translating both games.

"While both titles are widely expected to go on sale for around EUR 39 in most major markets, it seems that gamers in Holland and Belgium will be paying EUR 59 for Pinata 2 and Banjo Nuts & Bolts respectively.

"When asked by Dutch site Perfect-Rare why this was the case, a Microsoft Benelux spokesperson blamed the cost of translating both games and the relative size of both markets for the decision."

Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise and Pinata Vision Impressions

360 News from N4G | Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise

360 - Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise - Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise and Pinata Vision Impressions

Kotaku writes: "It sounds like Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise was designed to deal with one big issue the original title had.

"It looked like a kids game, but was quite difficult to play," said a Rare developer walking us through the game. "We kept the basic principal, you're in a garden and trying to attract animals to it."

But the team's done a lot to simplify the game and make it more accessible to a wider audience. Chief among the changes is a co-op mode that lets you play in the garden with friend. They've also added a fun mode which gives gamers the ability to buy just about anything in the game, removes the bad guys and turns the garden into an instant gratification sandbox."

360 - Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise - Viva Pinata 2 contains option to skip all tutorials

Danish site Gamereactor is reporting that Rare has implemented a new game mode in Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise, whereby you can jump straight into the action with no long, drawn out tutorial.

It says that Rare has listened to criticisms from the first game and acted accordingly.

"To start with, the game starts in a green and controlled garden so you don't have to drag yourself through all the weeding and fertilising," says the article, translated by videogaming247. "Also, all the help missions are optional, so you can choose if you want them or not."
