MS Gamer's Day: Cluck Norriss one of over 100 creatures in Viva Pinata 2

Whilst talking about Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise's new card system, Danish site Gamereaktor has confirmed that there will be over 100 different Piñatas in the sequel, including a chicken called Cluck Norriss and a Yeti.

"Suddenly I had huge animals such as gorillas, moose and Yeti's running around the middle of the garden, whilst a very special card gave me infinite amounts of money and unlocked every item in the game," the article explained.

"With over 100 Pinata's - mainly because of the fact the you can quickly go to a desert and snowy landscape to catch these animals - I already look forward to sharing the crazy creations - such as the kick-ass chicken Cluck Norriss and a moose that at Christmas time changes into a reindeer - with players all over the world."

We want it more by the minute. The Rare game will be shown officially to the press in San Francisco today, so keep an eye out at 5pm BST for more. In the meantime, check out details, screens and news of an offline co-op mode.
