    So my family and I finally got around to messing about with Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise and it made me wonder if things like the Piñata Vision gimmick, for reading the collectible cards, would be compatible with the new tech. Perhaps I am over-thinking it a little, but I am just throwing this out there to the GB community to see if anything has officially been said about it.

    It depends on how the original game was programmed. If the game itself was only programmed to work with the Xbox Live Vision camera specially, then it probably wouldn't work unless they released a patch for it. On the other hand, if that aspect of the game was handled on the system side of things (i.e. like voice chat is), then it would probably work.

    @spazmaster666: Yeah, despite it being a glorified webcam, I am a little worried about it being so hardware specific. It'd be no great loss, and a new Piñata title for Kinect would have us dancing around like fools, I was just curious.  
      
    And of course, I need to pad my account with achievement points ;-)
