Beautiful. Magical. Sad.
An unbelievable blend that plays pure epicness into your ears.
I just love the Viva Piñata franchise.
I just do.

A beautiful soundtrack to a beautiful franchise.

Terrence Rosebloom That sounds amazing omg!! And a bigger garden so we can have lots more piñatas at once! 😭
Terrence Rosebloom
@Ebony omg yes! I hope Rare will make the 3rd part. They already made some hints about that. Just imagine having over 300-500 pinatas in the next VP and the ocean biome. That would be sick!
