People like to have fun guessing just what the heck crazy thing occured on Earth to allow the events of Animal Crossing to occur. When I started playing Wild World, I just followed the apocalypse theory and assumed most everyone I ever knew was dead and all the woodland creatures had mutated. I even walked around with a gas mask for protection.
Then I got a letter from should-be-dead-from-an-atomic-cloud mom and I didn't know what to think. So I accepted the communist lifestyle and got decked out in a little Mao outfit.
Now, Microsoft will be entering the game with Viva Pinata, which is apparently a game involving living talking pinatas that are born from stork delivered eggs. Designed, quite smartly, to hone on the Sims/Animal Crossing demographic ... it still makes me wonder what these people are smoking when they design this stuff. If a Pinata dies, do they consider it a regrettable candy related accident? Maybe they're going for an abused animal shelter angle.
At any rate, it's nice to see a next gen game that doesn't involved Nintendo or bragging about hidef screens.

See, I assumed that 'I' had died and that this was the next level of existence for us all. Think about it. The worse thing that happens is you fall into a pit or get stung by a bee. We could all be so lucky to live in such a world!
Then the mom letters came and, well, maybe she's just writing them in her diary or something...
But yeah, Viva Pinata is a really interesting looking game, to say the least.
