According to http://www.rareware.com/ and Jimm's post from there it sais that-
This is a full-size Viva Piņata game in your pocket, featuring not only the entire range of paper beasts from the Xbox 360 title but also a few new ones thrown in to spice things up for those familiar with the established cast.

You'll also be given free rein with an expanded selection of tools and tool actions, upgraded forms of the Journal and Encyclopedia, and brand new game modes such as Sandbox (for full and easy access to your favourite Piņatas) and Episodes (tying in more closely to the TV series and allowing fans of the show to spend quality time with familiar faces).

...

The DS WiFi service also lets you send prime Piņata specimens to your friends

So,do you guys think it, will be better than the 360 version,or what do you think of it?

Only new feature I can see is that you can see the tops of the houses :-)

The DS version will feature a few new species, an expanded selection of tools, and new game modes such as Sandbox and Episodes.

I can think of a few new Piņatas that'll appear. The Polollibear, the Jeli, and the penguin, whatever name that is called.

Aside from the new stuff, I think that the graphics, screen size, interface, and Xbox Live functionality will make sure that the Xbox 360 version still will hold plenty of advantages.

I don't think that they will include the Cryptids (Jeli, Polloi, etc.) without releasing it on Xbox Live as well, it could very well be lesser pinatas... Rare had over a hundred for concepts.

If I had a DS, I'd grab Pinata for it. VP's the perfect game for sitting on the bus killing time, not necessarily taking out my $500 home game system that integrates to HDTV. I think it'll have more popularity on that (picture sitting in the back of the van at 10yo while you drive 20 hours on vacation) then it will on the home PC/XBox market. It should do well, even if it won't have the same level of graphics.

You need another option.

"I need to play it first"

I think its possible it could be better.

I am getting this not matter if it is better or not. Just can't get enough of the pinatas. Hopefully, it will have the same stuff as Xbox and more. It's like the Animal Crossing and Final Fantasy. I love it!! I'm sure I'll like the latter.

Lol, I never touch my DS anymore, I guess if there was ever a reason to get me started again, this would be it...but then again, if I hatched a WC on the DS that would suck cause then I can't donate to VPX and take good pics and stuff...
