The game is based on Microsoft Game Studios’ highly-rated original Viva Pinata game for Xbox 360(R) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise features an array of content exclusive to Nintendo DS and an intuitive control scheme designed to take full advantage of the DS touch screen and stylus, making it a breeze to navigate through the garden.

I can’t say for sure whether or not this “feature” was available last week, though some DS Downloads offer expiration dates. The following titles will be removed from the Nintendo Channel on May 18th:

– The Spiderwick Chronicles
– Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
– Eco-Creatures: Save the Forest
– My Word Coach
– Iron Man

For some strange reason, not all titles have expiration dates. Brain Age, Brain Age 2, and the Crosswords DS demo have no dates posted for their removal. Is Nintendo planning on keeping these downloads around for a long time?


Demos

– Brain Age
– The Spiderwick Chronicles
– Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
– Eco-Creatures: Save the Forest
– My Word Coach
