First Piñata Vision card goes online

Viva Piñata and general Rare fansite MundoRare posted photos of the first ever, official Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise Vision card. You know, those Trouble in Paradise cards that, once scanned, plop the card's character into your virtual garden space. Well, the first Piñata Vision card we're being treated to is Ryan, one of thirty pinata cards that Rare developers have created and (have selfishly) named after themselves. It's a crazy interesting idea that we can't wait to embrace. As long as the scanning process is more efficient then our local grocery store's self checkout lanes. Those wonky scanners are no fun.

It's hardly the first... there has been a collection of them online for close to three months at http://pinataisland.info/viva/Category:Piñata_Vision_image

Hope they're not trying to sell these for money... it's too easy to plop them on a scanner and get them free.

I've yet to understand the point of these. Here's my 360 connected to the entire interwebs, and i have to scan paper? What is this, 1992?

You know, I was cool with Viva Pinata 1, I mean hey Microsoft had to make a casual game... But really Rare! Viva Pinata 2... Please, next time, use your WHOLE staff to make the next best Banjo game, or at least an FPS that reminds of of Goldeneye.... or maybe a Perfect Dark Game.... or maybe Conker(but that might not seem right)

just so people don't get mad, I am not hating on Viva Pinata (I play the original), I just think they could of done better with some other games at this time.

Nintendo found that cards that can be scanned into games don't print money.

I'm pretty sure my level of excitement for this title is unhealthy, unnatural and definitely not normal.

I liked Viva Piñata far more than any other title from Rare, except for Battletoads.
