Viva Pinata vision cards fan the Killer Instinct flames

We wouldn't take this to be an indication of a pending announcements -- the cards themselves feature the 3D models from the Nintendo 64 era -- but either Rare has something in mind or it really likes to taunt its old fan base.

"This is an ass hole move"
The cards or the breaker? Defense is important.
xFenixKnightx @ Oct 16th 2008 11:08AM
Fucking tease. Dont play with my emotions like that RARE!

No joke, I spent the other day trying to find more cards for my wife. This game has become like crack at our house.

What the heck does that mean? It is a Fizzly bear with a hat or what?

Seems more like another tease, rather than an indication of a sequel/remake. They do this all the time, and Rare themselves hate the game. I don't see anything ever coming from it.
In my opinion it didn't play particularly well to begin with, and has aged very badly. It doesn't need any sort of revival.

That was bad ass when fulgore busted out the guns to finish you off with. I could never get enough of that!
Deeznuts420 @ Oct 16th 2008 11:20AM
Fulgore dares you to hit him with a stick.

So if Pester comes into my garden, will the KI pinatas kick his ass?
I'm not sure if I want to see Orchid's finisher in pinata form, though. Ah what the hell am I saying? Of course I want to see it!
Shiaoran @ Oct 16th 2008 3:49PM
Knowing how Rare hates us, the KI pinatas will probably assume a fighting stance and face him, just to be killed easier than the weakest wyrlm ¬¬
*still wants your avatar's full pic :P*
xeleion @ Oct 16th 2008 11:42AM
So does this mean that there are KI pinatas in the game? If so, I'd like to see images of them. I don't own a 360.
Pudge @ Oct 16th 2008 11:42AM
Someone NEEDS to post screen shots of whatever comes out of these things.
O and Killer Instinct really does need a sequel. If Rare doesn't wanna do it, sell it to Microsoft and they'll find someone. I'm sure it would make a great game.

Yep, they are pinatas with special hats.... here's the link: http://mundorare.com/news/2008/10/mata-pinata/
Deeznuts420 @ Oct 16th 2008 1:08PM
well......that was lame.
zero2dash @ Oct 16th 2008 1:15PM
^^^ INCREDIBLY lame at that.
Misframed @ Oct 16th 2008 1:28PM
No argument there...
why not the LS2LS7? @ Oct 16th 2008 4:17PM
The elephanilla is mediocre, the other two are completely lame.
Not worth getting a camera for, that's for sure.
Patrick @ Oct 16th 2008 12:09PM
I don't understand the fuss. Other than the graphics, Killer Instinct wasn't that great a fighting game.
c00kiesandass @ Oct 16th 2008 1:07PM
The game was popular due to the combo system that was pretty much non existent in other fighters. 80+ hits?
Jim @ Oct 16th 2008 12:26PM
I just used the cards in game. They are just pinata with accessories.
343 Guilty Fart @ Oct 16th 2008 12:31PM
Yes, because a kid friendly game such as Viva Pinata just screams KILLER INSTINCT!
Next week on Sesame Street the Cole Train stops by to KICK SOME LOCUST ASS!!!
zero2dash @ Oct 16th 2008 1:14PM
Someone needs to do some video editing/hacking and YouTube such a video at once because that would be FRICKIN' HILARIOUS.
Po Panda @ Oct 16th 2008 1:20PM
Maybe it will be available as a retro-download (original game) on Wii Console?
Or are there some kind of licensing issue since it's a MS IP now? How would that work?
tifosiotaku @ Oct 16th 2008 2:26PM
I will never understand why KI gets people all crazy when the X360 has Virtua Fighter 5, DOA4, Soulcalibur IV, and is getting Street Fighter IV and Tekken 6 next year...
zuburi @ Oct 16th 2008 2:54PM
You're absolutely right.
Also, I'll never understand why people like the game Forza since they already have Project Gotham, Ridge Racer, and Gran Turismo.
For that matter, why do people like Sprite when there's Coke, Dr. Pepper, and Mountain Dew?
As long as I'm thinking of it, why do people enjoy the color red since blue, green, and yellow already exist?!
Makes no sense to me.
wootman @ Oct 16th 2008 5:35PM
because of C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER.

So like... A pinata with huge boobs/muscles/covered in metal? Sounds cool... Needs more Spinal though
Aceley @ Oct 17th 2008 10:04AM
Rare are being a little dumb here, either that or they have no market research skills.. if they looked at some the comments or posts here they'd see a new Killer Instinct would sell.. don't you want our money Rare?? gawwwd!
