Viva Pinata 2 Screenshots Leak

Banjo Kazooie 3 isn’t the only game under Rare’s belt; the British developer are also working on an Xbox 360 sequel to garden management sim, Viva Pinata.

These screenshots and the name “Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise” were part of an accidental leak prior to Microsoft’s Gamers’ Day which will be held later this week. The press site also contained news of brand new games “Lips” and “Ninja Blade” as well as confirmation of a sequel to quiz title, Scene It.

Viva Pinata was praised for concealing a deep management simulator behind endearing papier-mâché graphics. Main points of contention included the lack of Xbox Live support and some control issues. Hopefully the sequel will fix those, alongside the introduction of seasons – confirmed in the screenshots.
