But its for the n64!

Just cause it has the 3-d "N" symbol doesn't mean it's for N64... But it's supposed to be fore Nintendo. HUH? Oh, I get it, this is the video thingy rareware would have done if they weren't bought out by Microsoft? I'm confused.

It does mean it was going to be for N64. It was probably ported to the Xbox 360 while in develoment.

That ad is so old, though. Viva Pinata is also being developed by the Banjo Team, is it not? That would mean they would had to have been developing Viva Pinata alongside both Banjo-Tooie and Grabbed by the Ghoulies. That's quite a workload, I'd imagine.

I think it's just an uncanny coincidence, and that's it. Or at the very least, I suppose the idea could always have been there, but just never realized until after they finished 'Ghoulies.

I sorta think it's fake.

Hey! I remember seeing that before! That commercial was around a long time ago, during the N64 age. It was basically just a clever commercial by Nintendo to say that playing the N64 was a "humane" alternative form of entertainment, compared to beating the crud out of a pinata. I completely forgot about that ad, but now that I see it again, it does look a LOT like Rare's new game.
