   Lookie, lookie, Rare's cute Xbox 360 game will be infesting yet another platform, after the PC version of Viva Pinata was recently announced. But, while that one is being developed externally by Climax, the DS version will remain an in-house project at Rare, who made the announcement during Sunday's Comic-Con in San Diego. This week, they returned with more details about Viva Pinata for the DS, though for starters only offering a single screenshot.

   From what they say, the DS version will host the entire range of paper beasts, while also adding a few new ones compared to the original Xbox 360 version. The visual presentation will take a major hit, of course, but it will be compensated by the fact that you'll be able to control the game a lot more conforable, out drinking a beer or wherever people go to walk their DS. Other details can be found below:
"You'll also be given free rein with an expanded selection of tools and tool actions, upgraded forms of the Journal and Encyclopedia, and brand new game modes such as Sandbox (for full and easy access to your favourite Piñatas) and Episodes (tying in more closely to the TV series and allowing fans of the show to spend quality time with familiar faces).

But one of the biggest changes is obviously the control method, with stylus input transforming the way in which you interact with your menagerie. Design, nurture, instruct, protect and care for your garden and animals through direct touch. The DS WiFi service also lets you send prime Piñata specimens to your friends, making the act of parading your Doenut around in a humiliating pirate outfit easier than ever."    "Soon" is the only release date the devs are giving right now, so... check back soon!
