So on New Years Eve I was doing some traveling by bus and had my Nintendo 3DS and Rare’s Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise with me. I hadn’t played the game in years and even then I hadn’t put much time into it so figured that then was as good a time as any. I turned on the game, went through a couple of tutorials and then went to check out what all was in the options menu. It was here that I discovered that you could watch the credits to the game already so I started them up and was shocked at what I saw. The Pocket Paradise credits actually lists every single individual who was working at Rare at the time! It first lists those who worked on the game and then from there it goes on to include the ‘Rare Family’, who is basically everyone else who was still employed at Rare at the time of the game’s release in 2008. To the best of my knowledge, Rare hasn’t done this with any of their other titles, and if they have then it has been a very poor oversight on my part.

Provided for you all here is the entire Rare portion of the game’s credits so that you, too, can know who was employed at Rare in 2008…
