New Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise screens give you crabs photo

NeoGAF has four large screens from Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise for you to check out, and if you couldn't tell from the above shot, there's a new animal for your viewing pleasure. Crabs are awesome, and I'm glad to see that Rare is giving them the recognition they deserve ... and I am sure you can guess the likely name that this little fellow is going to have.

To me, Viva Piñata is easily one of the most gorgeous-looking games to have ever come out of this generation, and it's great that Rare is continuing this tradition in the sequel. The game is vibrant, colorful and lively, far more beautiful than the greys and browns and pass for "realism" these days.

Head on over to The GAF and check them out. I'm really starting to look forward to this one.

Are giant crabs like a staple in video games?

Th crippling joy contained within Viva Pinata made me want to vomit, I guess I'm just dead inside.

At first glancing at your suggestion I thought: "No! Absolutely not! Viva Pinata is perfect!"

Then I seriously considered the idea of being able to pick up and throw Pinatas around with a gravity gun. And I giggled on the inside.

Just wonderful, I have the first one and I love it, but do we really need anymore water based Pinatas!? I mean when you level up even further you will notice your garden just start to be overflowed with water! My Garden has like half water 35% is items/house and the other 15% is grass. This is madness!

I wonder if that giant lamp is their house. Probably not. They should show more Dessert and Pinartic pinatas.
