Get some Killer Instinct pinatas in Viva Pinata 2

You’ve got your Killer Instinct in my Viva Pinata!

Rare has released some Killer Instinct Viva Pinata vision cards on the official Rare web-site for use with Viva Pinata 2: Trouble in Paradise.

The batch of cards are all themed after classic Killer Instinct characters that fighting game fans know and love, and they include: Orchid, Fulgore and Tusk.

As with previously released Viva Pinata Vision Cards, you will need an Xbox 360 Vision Camera to take advantage of the cards. While in your garden, either hold up a printed Piñata Vision card to your LIVE Vision camera, or point the camera at the card on your computer screen. Make sure the card fits within the in-game scanning window and the edges aren’t obscured by anything, fingers included. This will add the corresponding Pinata into your garden.

And just in case you were confused, no you do not get ACTUAL Killer Instinct characters into your Viva Pinata game from these cards, but rather you receive Pinatas named after the Killer Instinct characters.

Now one wonders why Rare would do such a thing. Could this be their viral way of slowly building hype and interest back into Killer Instinct? As we all know that Killer Instinct 3 is definitely one of the most wanted games from Rare. I guess we’ll find out in the future, eh.
