Rare's Viva Pinata

[Paco]

Isn't Chibi-Robo on PSP? Anyway, no.

I spent a good two years playing Animal Crossing just about every day. I currently have two characters, both living in the same town, their houses paid off, one having received the HRA's prize for getting a score over 100,000, one of them has about 1.3 million bell, the other about 400,000, I have all of the Nintendo furniture (made a cool little room with several of the games as well (love Wario's Woods)), the musuem is just about complete, got the golden shovel and axe, designed some of my own clothes and billboards (usually kept trying until something caught on, and all the animals were wearing it)...I love that game.

Pinata will launch to a series of good reviews and will face lackluster sales for its birthday party. Then after 6 months or so word of mouth will get the game popular, it will become the ultimate game to have because, arguably, it will be the best game on XBox 360 and also the most unique

If I remember right, this same thing happened with Animal Crossing. Slow start, but it became somewhat a craze the following months.

I wonder if the TV show is going to help it along, and enough so that kids' can convince their parents to plunk down $300+ for a Xbox 360 in time for Christmas?

I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent with Kameo and PDZ so I'm really looking forward to Pinata. I never did give Grabbed by the Ghoulies a chance. I could probably find it really cheap now...
