At this years Comic-Con, Rare announced that Viva Pinata -- originally an Xbox 360 title -- will be heading over to the Nintendo DS. Obviously the game won't be as graphically appealing, but the game will give 360 owners a unique experience with the stylus and touch-screen if they purchase the DS version.

According to a forum post by a user called "jimmcq", the game will feature the same exact gameplay is the 360 title, will have the same species available, as well as some new ones. There will be two game modes: Sandbox and Episodes.

"rashberry", a Rare employee, was nice enough to answer questions posted by forumers over at pinataisland.info. In the post, rashberry confirmed that the game will be developed by Rare and the graphics are, "beautiful". No release date has been confirmed yet, but he said that the title is "coming soon" (I would expect it to be released before the holiday season). Use of Nintendo's WiFi service has yet to be confirmed.
