All indications are pointing to a resounding "Yes". Codenamed Viva Piñata, this project could be Microsoft and Rare's trump card against the pocket monster phenomenon that just won't die. This bit comes to us by way of Game Informer where it also tells us the title could be released in union with (you guessed it) a cartoon show.Just in case you were curious, there is an application for the trademark at the Patent Office. Something tells me this won't stop with playing cards either.

1. You fools. Don't you remember the Nintendo Advertisement, "Save the Pinatas, Play Nintendo"? That was the best ad I'd ever seen, right up there and passing the Super Smash Bros ad. "These senseless beatings..." and more, it came across as such a strange and hysterical ad. I, for one, believe that Team Xbox has their facts wrong. I think Viva Pinata is for one of the rumored Nintendo DS games that Rareware is supposedly making.
