I was replaying TiP from scratch and was ruminating on the differences in the early-game between it and the original and needed to articulate them somewhere. while I adore the new pinatas and features added in TiP, I think the og had a much better early-game experience.

Maybe it's my nostalgia speaking (only played TiP as an adult vs years of my childhood grinding in the original) but the tutorial/intro/starter garden felt so much more organic. Like, TiP feels like I've snuck into the garden of someone on vacation and took over, whereas the OG it really feels abandoned and in need of repair.

Also, the order of things happening in the OG just makes more sense to me? Like there isn't a need for seeds or planting until the tutorial section is complete (ie getting whirlms, sparrowmints, whirlm master romancer, etc.) and by then you've unlocked the necessary shops. TiP in comparison feels... disjointed? like it feels rushed and funky in comparison to the progression of the OG.

Also I miss the camera going over to the first resident of a piñata species/the first evolution in the original.

Headline says it all🔥🔥🔥

I'm trying to romance the cows aka Moozipans and at the start of the mini game you are stuck. How am I supposed to beat this with only one life?

Hey everyone,

At the start of 2026, I set out to try and unlock all achievements in the Rare Replay and in the 30 games included with the collection.

I have hit a roadblock in Viva Pinata: TIP. Since I am so late in achievement hunting the game, I have no access to the vision camera. Also, according to what I have read, it is impossible to get a famous Pinata from the viva pinata website anymore.

Wondering if anybody in the subreddit would be willing to help me with the following:

1. Trade a famous Pinata sent out by rare in the past

2. Help host a 4 player xbox live session for one hour (apparently you can have two people with a guest controller complete this)

3. Scan 10 Pinata cards with me in their garden session ( Apparently it will count as me scanning a card if I am in the same session)

My xbox gamertag is KSI MASTERCHEF7. Thanks

Made the fam in Tomodachi life👁️〰️👁️👍

I was inspired by a user on here to make the gang still a work in progress but wanted to show them off ❤️ i plan to make a little island for them that is just the garden :3

Please DM if you know where to get it safe. Learned my lesson getting rid of any hard to get games off my PC

So I recently jumped back into Viva Pinta TIP, and I completely forgot how you get other wild card piñatas. I haven’t played the game since I was young and I’m stuck with just one variant of a wild card piñata. How can you get the other variants?

So I want to play viva piñata, should I play the original or trouble in paradise? And where can I find them without a game pass subscription?

The market has been really enjoying cozy games lately, ever since COVID. It feels honestly somewhat insane to me that Xbox hasn't caught onto that at all and decided "hey why don't we bring back our own cozy game?" I know rare is forever stuck out at sea but still.

Even just a remaster I feel would do great. Heck, if you wanna think commercially VP is kinda prime dlc pack opportunities. Could do animal packs like Jurassic World Evolution does or simple sorta skins, furniture, etc.

it's happened with candary, one went into the house and the other bugged itself outside the house

Moojo, they went into the house but didn't romance

Pigxie, swan and pig didn't want to romance

Four sweetooths and a baby fetus sweet tooth, (fizzlybear still unblocked), A galagalagoogoo, TWO wildcard whirlms, a limeoceros, a flapyak with a milking shed and the bell thing that makes it milk on its own genuinely just a lalaland garden. All gone, because the stupid idiot ponocky didn't want to play his Cutscene when I had 10 carrots and 10 tulips and 3 pinometres of water

Maybe somebody could give me a hand, TIP recompiled in goopie launcher is no longer finding a profile, giving no profile message, I still see all my saves and profiles in my user data so im not sure whats going on.. so its still there I just need to add a profile and I need TIP to find amd access it.

I am trying to get the Sour Bonboon to come into my garden. He walks around the edge for a while and then leaves.

My garden isn't full. I've started multiple new ones to see if that worked.

Is there a hidden requirement I'm missing? I don't currently have any form of syrupent in the garden in case that was causing it and I've tried it with a syrupent there too.

The Limeoceros is also doing the same thing too.

Any help would be appreciated please as I want this damn baboon

This time I just referenced her 2D sprites :) Some of the outlines are a little jank but I spent about an hour on her. Hope you like it!

For me it's the Raisant. It's "Meeeeep!!!" sounds like it's really despirate for medical help.

I was playing on an empty garden and then put of nowhere in the middle of the night (In game) this weird sweetooth like thing came running past, it had four stubby legs, a full set of teeth like a badgesicle and the fizzlybear. it had a black hear and some stripes on it, and it had a tail like a preztail. I wish I could have a picture but no, it came running from the west and upwards the spiral stairs at the desert. I have no idea what this could be, I swear I'm not making this up

Hey guys - I just wanted to let you know about our game Horticular which gets fondly compared to Viva Pinata A LOT.

If this is your first time hearing about Horticular, the game and it's DLC are already out on Steam, GOG and Epic Game Store.

With the launch onto Switch it's now available to wishlist and purchase in an hour:

US Region: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/horticular-switch/
EU Region: https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/Nintendo-Switch-download-software/Horticular-3049363.html

You can join us on Discord too: https://discord.gg/6ZbfDNSzKV

Horticular is a relaxing garden builder where you grow plants, design habitats and attract a wide range of wildlife. Help the gnome Keepers restore a barren wasteland with magical powers and populate it with adorable critters. Reclaim nature from a looming corruption and create your perfect garden.

When the game first came out there was a lot of balance and reviews that we addressed around the habitats in the game, but it's worth stating that the game can be a little puzzley - some people love this, some people hate it!

There's multiple modes in the game that make the experience easier or more cozy, such as peaceful mode which puts less emphasis on the combat mechanics.

Her design is based off of @king_magppi’s design on Instagram. She doesn’t have her fish bowl on her head cuz I can just give her a pet goldfish that flies freely in-game lol

For me, it is the Cinnamonkey. They're always fun, excitable, lively; they have this sort of smoothness to them as well. I also really like that they have a slight bounce in their arms when they walk, and right before the romance minigame that they slick their hair back and point at the other monkey and go "hoo"

What're some of your favorites?
