Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise is based on Rare’s original Xbox 360 game and places Nintendo DS gamers in charge of a neglected garden on Piñata Island. Gamers are charged with creating a paradise by cleaning and growing the garden while attracting Piñatas to breed and care for.

Pocket Paradise features seven new Piñata species, exclusive to this game. Each of these Piñata has new requirements, houses and unique cut scenes. Players will interact with the Piñata and garden by using the stylus on the DS touch screen and will even be able to acquire and trade rare Piñatas as well as transfer garden items by using the Nintendo DS local wireless connection.

Stars of the Fox4Kids Viva Piñata TV series including Hudson Horstashio, Fergy Fudgehog and Paulie Pretztail will be on hand to help you in twelve full motion tutorial video clips and the new Playground mode enables players to create a garden in a short space of time.

Head over to THQ’s website for two videos showing the first game play footage of the game as well as the first screenshots.

You can also take a look at the latest concept art below which gives you a sneak peak of which Piñatas will be appearing in your garden in Pocket Paradise. For more information on the game, check out the game’s official website.

Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise is scheduled to arrive on the Nintendo DS this September.
