June 26 The Future of Viva Pinata?When Viva first came out I remember Rare saying that they were working on an online play. The idea was that you could visit other people's garden and even help them garden. It was talked about a lot at first and then...nothing. Does anyone know if this is still happening? Also, I can't believe Rare hasn't put out any expansion packs by now. I thought for sure they would be coming out with new pinatas downloads every other week, but not one to date. What gives? The argument could be made (as I have many times) that there is a very structured food chain at work and you can't just insert a new pinata into the mix. True, but you could bring in a new pinata at the top of the food chain like a tiger or a tigerine if you will (tiger + tangerine) Or how expanding your territory? There are all these interesting structures and landscapes just outside your borders that I would love to explore. Maybe create whole new environments. Rare could sell an artic expansion pack where it is always snowing. You start with a penguin and work your way up to a polar bear. The possibilities are endless. I get the idea that Rare is saving up for Viva Pinata 2, which would be unfortunate. Viva is has the potential to evolve and grow, (like any good garden) but you need to introduce new things into it every once in a while for that to happen. June 15 My favorite pinataI try not to play favorites in the garden, but I have a special place in my heart for the Syrupent and his extented family. I guess the reason is because I am a sucker for evolves, and the Syrupent is the only pinata that can evolve twice.
The Syrupent shows up pretty early to the garden, all you need is some grass and a mousemallow and he'll become a resident. Once you've got a couple of Syrupents in your garden buy them a swank house (which looks like a stone cobra) and let the evolving begin. It's a delicate process that requires a little patient but the reward is well worth it.
First romance the two Syrupents, once the egg shows up watch it carefully. It will make many small hops, then it will make a noticably bigger hop. Once it makes that big jump whack it with your shovel and a baby Twingersnap will emerge. For those of you who do not already know a Twingersnap is a very cool two headed snake.
But wait, that's not all! Once you get two Twingersnaps go ahead and buy them a house (which looks like a aztec temple) and repeat the process to make a Fourheads. The coolest looking pinata in the game, in my opinion.
June 06 Master Romancer AchievementAs I mentioned before I am not that into romancing pinatas. I find it rather tedious trying to get these guys in the mood, most of them have the libido of a panda, or pananda (panda + banana) if you will. And that little mini mating game get old pretty quick. Needless to say I put off getting the Master Romancer Acheivement as long as I could until I figured out this little trick...
First off, I should point out that Master Romancer is the term for both an award and an achievement in the game. It's confusing, I know.
Anyway, you get an award for being a Master Romancer for a specific species when you have 7 of that species in your garden at the same time. And therein lies the key. You only need to have 7 of the same species in your garden at one time, you do not necessarily have to breed them. You can buy (hire the hunter) seven of one pinata and bingo, you're a Master Romancer without once every having to do the deed.
To get the Master Romancer Acheivement you need to become a Master Romancer to 20 different species.
Now, hold on a sec! Before you go buying 7 of the 20 cheapest pinatas there is a more economical solution: Evolves.
For those of you who do not already know there are certain things you can do to certain pinatas to turn them into a completely new and different species. So, everytime you buy an evolvable pinata it like a 2 for 1 sale. Below is a list of all the evolvable pinatas and how to evolve them. (If I missed any please let me know) So go out there and get some achievement the good clean wholesome way!
A Sparrowmint fed a buttercup turns into a Candary.
A Horstachio fed a blackberry anda daisy turns it into a Zumbug.
A Newtgat fed a chili turns into a Salamango.
A Quackberry Fed a gooseberry turns into a Juicygoose.
A Lickatoad Fed a nightshade berry then tapped on the head with the shovel before it gets sick will turn into a Lackatoad.
Set a Taffly set on fire by sending it into a firebrand then quickly dousing with the watereing can to turn it into a Reddhott May 21 How about some new Pinatas?When Viva first came out I remember Rare saying that they were working on an online play.

You want your garden to evolve and grow, (like any good garden) but you need to introduce new things into it every once in a while for that to happen. What new piñatas would you like to see? I’ve got a few. Tigerine = tiger + tangerine Meringutan = Meringue + Orangutan May 09 Viva Piñata NewsMajor Nelson, TriXie and others from the Xbox.com team expose the truth about Viva Piñata and the effects it has on the adult brain. Check out the video. Video: Viva Piñata News
