Entertainment software developer THQ has announced it is to release Viva Pinata for the Nintendo DS.
Based on Microsoft’s Viva Pinata game for the X Box 360, Viva Pinata Pocket Paradise will make use of the DS’ touch screen and stylus and will feature content exclusive to the console.
Players will tend to a neglected garden on Pinata Island, taking care of and breeding piñatas as well as attracting new species of the plant.
"Nintendo DS is the perfect platform for the Viva Pinata franchise because players can have direct interaction with the environment and their pinatas using the stylus,” said Bob Aniello, senior vice-president of worldwide marketing at THQ.
Meanwhile, EA has announced its Skate IT video game is to be adapted for both the Nintendo Wii and DS consoles.
A Skate 2 game is also being developed for Play Station 3 and X Box 360, the company said.
