Pocket Paradise Release date - September 2nd

[BIGsheep]

The current schedule has VP: PP (from THQ) launching in these territories on these dates:
United States: September 2nd
UK & Europe: September 5th

Then VP: PP it begins to filter through to the rest of the world on the 11th

Oh Dang. So the relase date is TBA. But BIGsheep, did you have to make this a sticky?

[jimmcq]

I made it a sticky. As soon as a release date is announced this is where you will see it.

[Pigxie]

Is it gonna be realeased in austrailia?

[Zap657]

I don't see why it wouldn't... "OUT EVERYWHERE... Except Australia, to smite Pigxie personnally!" :p

[pinataFan626001]

According to Wikipedia, it says coming out in North America, Japan, & Europe.

[BIGsheep]

As with most things regarding its release, nothing is currently concrete. I very much doubt we'd exclude Australia but who can tell what crazy minds exist in the realm of publishing.

[taneer]

You sound like your refering to yourself...

Just kidding, but seriously this seems to be very slow in the making. I thought it was announced at the san diego comic con like 2 years ago

[n64player]

I think it was only last year that they announced it at Comic-con.

[Pigxie]

I asked about it at EB games and the guy says he heard of it in a review,
but it wasn't in the data base of games :(

[Bunnycomb Breeder]

Well it better come out soon. I. Want. This. Game. =)

[Macaraca]

i agree with bunnycomb breeder :p it does take a while to make games though!

[thok999365]

I don't have a Nintendo DS, but I'm going to get one soon and then I can buy it once it comes out :)

[Macaraca]

my little sister lied she said her friend has the game but i had this thread info so shame on her :p

[charlietheunicorn]

i hope it doesn't use a touch screen. mine broke.

[Newtgat]

Well then you're just going to have to control your game using your amazing telekinesis powers. :D

[charlietheunicorn]

im might win one, from nick mag!:)

[thok999365]

Isn't the touch screen like, a huge part of the Nintendo DS? Sounds to me like you need a new one o_0

[pinataFan626001]

If you look at the screenshots, you'll need the touch screen to get through the game.

[charlietheunicorn]

I'm getting a new one. mabey they will make Paulie and fergy and hudson styilists.

[pinataFan626001]

I think it's going to be exactly like the game for the 360 and PC. Only with new pinatas and you use the touch screen for the garden.

[BIGsheep]

Well it carries on in the same spirit, i.e. gardening. Party Animals was a little diversion from this concept but VP:PP should bring your some fresh ideas and ways to play to the table.

[Poppun]

I supose the graphics for this game take a long time to program because they're three dimensional. As far as I know, a two dimensional game where you already have most of the designs takes less than a year to make, there's one game that was based off a program I like and that only took about 6 monthes since the game was announced to the release date

Don't forget that many games are in development long before they are announced. There was only about 8 months between the announcement of Viva Pinata: Classic and it's release date, but it was in development for over four years.

From this thread (http://pinataisland.info/forum/showthread.php?p=175285#post175285):

THQ and Rare have announced exclusively with IGN today that Viva Pinata (http://ds.ign.com/objects/953/953406.html): Pocket Paradise is headed to Nintendo DS this fall

[Macaraca]

[Leon Kennedy]

You betcha' nelly I'm gonna be getting this :D Trouble in Paradise is higher on a priority list for me, but regardless.

[Bunnycomb Breeder]

So two new Viva Pinatas are coming out in the same season? Uber cool.

[pinataFan626001]

YES YES! Finally we know when its coming out. I'm getting it right when it comes out.

[cutekitty]

Amazon lists a release date of September 8, 2008, but as we all know retailer dates aren't always accurate.

[PINATAcast]

I was about to say, its flooding around the net right now that VP:PP is out on the 8th. damn you jim, always 1 step ahead.

[Pretztail4eva]

Does anyone know when pocket paradise will be coming out?

[FeralKitty]

Please try to avoid making duplicate threads. A release date thread already exists.

As mentioned in this thread, it's probably going to ship on the 8th and be available in stores on the 9th. This is for the US. You can check UK stores for your release date.

[Pretztail4eva]

sorry i didnt know:(

[jimmcq]

Rare's website (http://www.rareware.com/company/news.html) has been updated and it looks like VP: PP has received final Nintendo approval and will launch on the same days as VP :TIP
