VP DS mentioned on Kotaku

[jimmcq]

The first bits of information on Viva Pinata for the Nintendo DS are starting to coming in... Quote from Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/gaming/comic-con-07/viva-pinata-ds-announced-283699.php):
Viva Pinata DS will see the original game concept (ie not the party game) ported over to the DS, with the main changes a new top-down perspective and what I'd guess is an improved control scheme.

How so, Wild?

Well, it's the equivalent of trying to draw with a mouse. On the 360 the pattern of your grass/water is as good as your control of your controller and how it translates into the view from above. With the DS, however, you are just drawing the grass onto the garden and so it offers a better level of detail. That's my interpretation, anyway.

You should put that picture on the wiki as it is very imformative.

Apparently the romance dance will still be introduced by cutscenes or animations indicated by the first picture. The second picture is old, but the last picture shows how the shops will work and even has a neat render of Gretchum.

lol, I never looked at the pictures that close, because it's such bad quality, but you're right.
