Viva Pinata Official Trailer (2006, Microsoft/Rare/Climax)

Viva Piñata is a life‑simulation game by Rare Ltd. released for Xbox 360 in 2006, later on Windows, DS, and as a sequel. Players transform a neglected plot into a thriving garden, attracting colorful piñata residents by building homes, planting foliage, and meeting their needs. As piñatas mature, they can mate in maze‑style minigames to produce baby eggs, while players must also fend off sour piñatas and ruffians that threaten the garden. The game blends open‑ended sandbox gameplay with charming visuals and a lighthearted narrative reminiscent of The Sims and Animal Crossing.
