Has Microsoft lost it's mind???

Post by AnnekaLily »

According to Daily Game, Microsoft are planning to realiese a videogame & TV sereioes very much like Pokémon, called Viva Pinata on Xbox 360 & their TV series on Fox but through the same dubbing studio as the orginal Pokémon Cast & Crew.

I just took a peek at the website, and personally I think Microsoft have so completely lost it!

There sereies woulld look like somthing you'd see on Cbeebies or any equilivent Pre-school channels. Who would watch a show about capturing wild pinatas?

It looks like a demented Animal Crossing kindof game. Yes, Microsoft has gone crazy. They should just stick to Halo... I don't think this "Viva Pinata" Is gonna be sucessful... i mean... who likes pinatas??? i say trash it.

That was retarded. AFAIK, that was the worst idea for a video game. The person who created this needs to be hunted down and be feeded to the murderous anteaters.

I was over at a friend's house and we saw about a minute of the show, then he said that this was the worst thing ever. Then I said to burn the place, but then he said to break them all because they all have candy in them. Then I talked about an episode of King of the Hill where Cotton shot a pinata with a shotgun he gave to Bobby for his birthday. Then the conversation wandered off into using a shotgun to shoot a candy and fruit punch filled pinata.:roll: That was quite random. They should merge Halo 3 with that game so they can destroy all of the pinatas. :-D

I just remembered, he also said that it rips off of Super Mario Sunshine. Apparently they are at Pinata Island, and it's an amusement park. In Super Mario Sunshine, there is a place of the same name, also an amusement park.

I fail to see how this is plagiarism, amusement parks are not unique to Super Mario Sunshine. Besides it's Pinta Park in SMS, not Pinata.

I know it's Pinta Island, but my friend thought it was Pinata Island. He even showed it to me and it said Pinta Island.

Still, this makes me want to blow up pinatas more.

Doing that has officially declared that they have no mind to lose. Obviously, they beat me to the 'sell your mind on Ebay' idea. now, I must think up a new idea.
And also, UI know I wouldsn't watch it. I'm already disinterested in the new Pokémon shows, though i will once in a blue moon watch it. The old ones were better, in my opinion.
