Rare says no to Viva Piñata 2 DLC, yes to 'something new'

Filed under: News, Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise

In a recent live chat with Rare devotees, Rare's Justin Cook made it clear that there are no plans for any Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise downloadable content. Furthermore, Cook says that Rare is "taking a break" from the Viva Piñata franchise in order to "make something new." Just what this something new is, Cook failed to elaborate. The "new" part makes us suspect it won't be a return to Rare's other franchises like Perfect Dark or Kameo, but there's no way to be sure. Cook added that even Rare's plans regarding another Viva Piñata could change, so we'll just have to wait and see. Still, is it too much to ask for a new Battletoads?

Be sure to hit the source link to read the whole chat. It covers plenty of nitty-gritty details in VP2.

I know a lot of people will agree with me in saying that Killer Instinct 3 would be a must-buy if it were made. Stay clear of Perfect Dark/Kameo and bring it back to the arcade days for us old schoolers, PLEASE!!!??

re: Battletoads, Shane, er, "Quarterman" hinted pretty heavily toward that in EGM.
