Viva Piñata is a Simulation game created by video game developer Rare Ltd. Specifically in development under the helm of Gregg Mayles and most of the Banjo Team. The original concept started as 'Your Garden' in 2002, eventually evolving into the colorful, crazy world of Viva Piñata. Very aware that they had something hot on their hands, Microsoft and Rare immediately started searching for licensing partners and eventually teamed up with 4Kids Entertainment. The property is set to become a video game on Microsoft's Xbox 360 console as well as a computer-animated television series produced by 4Kids Entertainment to be aired on the Fox Network starting September 2006. The game and television show revolves around a group of animal piñatas who live on "Piñata Island". The game will include over 60 different species of piñata for you to collect, trade and customize. The TV series and the game will reference each other, as they take place on different parts of the island.
Piñata Island is the place the crepe paper creatures call home. You won't find it on a map, but its ideal location insures that a Piñata can reach any party on any continent. These "animbassadors" of fun blast off via cannoñatas (giant piñata cannons) from a huge Piñata launching station in the center of the island. Upon their return, the Piñatas get patched up and return to their idyllic garden paradise until duty calls once again.
