New Rare IP On The Way To XBLA and Only Girls Play With Pinatas!
Apparently, in a recent edition of Edge magazine, Senior Graphical Engineer for Rare, Nick Burton, hinted at a new IP from the legendary developer for Xbox Live Arcade. Here's a bit of what he had to say:
"It just feels like a Rare game," Burton attempted to explain to Edge magazine. "I don't know what that means exactly, but it just does."
This news come from Eurogamer and we are told it is in reference to an upcoming XBLA title, but it's a shame they don't give an issue number or anything of the sort. ...but since I have to go out to Best Buy, tonight, and there's a bookshop close-by, I'll flip through the mag (provided it's the correct issue) and see for myself. Oh, one more thing, Bill Gates seems to think Viva Pinata is for girls...discuss!
[Mini-Update]: For those of you who cannot hear the audio from the video, here's what Mr. Gates says:
"We have a thing called Viva Piñata that's for young girls, where you're tending a garden and these animals come along..."
From that point on, he shows us all that he has no idea what he's talking about. Enjoy!

Well, I can't hear what he's saying but I'm guessing he's a freaking idiot.
I doubt Gates actually knows anything about what is released on the Xbox 360. It sure doesn't sound like he does.
Viva Pinata is one of the games I'm looking forward to play the most when I eventually get a 360.
I know many dudes that play Viva Pinata. A lot. Dudes heart Viva P. Get with it, Billy!
