New Viva Pinata: Party Animals details, demo arriving "very soon"


The impassioned youth of PinataIsland cornered Krome's Cameron Davis, lead designer on Viva Piñata: Party Animals and beat him like a paper mache party favor until he released his sweet details contained within. Announced at E3, Party Animals is a mini-game fiesta based on the popular children's show and critically acclaimed Xbox 360 title starring the dance partners of Mario Lopez.


Players will be assisting one of eight playable piñata compete in the reality show, Viva Piñata Championship Challenge, which functions quite a bit like The Amazing Race. Of those eight playable characters, two will be brand new characters to the series, set to debut in the second season of the Saturday morning cartoon. The game will be presented in a television style format and feature the color commentary of Pierre Parrybo and Pecky Pudgeon.

According to Davis, we should expect to see a demo "very, very, very soon, if not already." Viva Piñata: Party Animals is due out this Winter.
