Viva Pinata, Kameo might be coming to DS

Viva Pinata coming to DS? - Image 1


It might be weird to see a Microsoft Game Studios title on the DS, but in an interview with 1UP, Microsoft Game Studios">Shane Kim, Corporate Vice President for Microsoft Game Studios, said that, "A Kameo or a Viva Pinata on a DS makes a lot of sense in a lot of ways from a franchise perspective."

Despite a slow start, Microsoft Game Studios is still committed to Rare's Pinata-filled IP. Phil Spencer, head of Studio Development for Microsoft Game Studios, said that Viva Pinata is "the beginning of an IP that will be a pillar for Microsoft Game Studios for a long time." Kim also expressed similar sentiments, saying, "I think it's fair to say that we're going to continue to invest in that property."

Speaking of handhelds, will these and other Rare titles make the jump to the PSP too? Don't hold your breath. Says Kim, "Whether you're talking about [publishing games on] mobile or the DS -- you probably won't see it on the PSP, though."

 » well then
sounds like MS is doing something the neither Nintendo or Sony do. Move their own titles on opposing systems... Intresting but money is mony right?

It makes me remember the phrase: The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
I suppose MS still thinks they can play together with Nintendo on the Handheld market...
...for the moment.

 » Yeah...
It doesn't hurt MS if Nintendo has their games on the DS, not unless they try to make a gaming Zune or something....wich i'd actually like and would trade in my PSP the day it came out.

Makes sense though, i'm actually more likely to play this game on my DS opposed to my 360...
