According to Kotaku, a DS version has been announced at Comic-Con, and unlike the Krome effort, this sequel seems to retain the original, garden simulation gameplay of the first game. Details are scarce, with the only real information being that players will have a top-down view.
Stay tuned to Nintendo World Report for more on this game as it breaks.

You mention that Krome made a spin-off/sequel, and that the reason was clear. But then you don't say what the reason was, before continuing about this new DS version not by Krome.

Krome: Making game NOT based on the original Game canon but off of the Cartoons canon. It be like making a Pokemon game based off of what you saw in the cartoon instead of the actual games.
Rare: Is making an actual sequel appealing to an audience that already have gamers established for this genre instead of trying to bring in gamers of a genre. Thus recouping some of the lost of the original game, if their was any, and bring about better brand awareness with an older demographic who wasn't ready to make the HD Jump. Thus when the price and reliability is more favorable for adoption they will have something familiar to get them started. Genre like these are somewhat polarizing.

Ewwww....
Anyway, anyone have a tally for how many games Rare has made for the DS/GBA vs. the 360/Xbox since leaving Nintendo? Be interesting to see.

Fun fact: Viva Pinata the game was in development long before the show which was created to sell the game.

The DS WiFi service also lets you send prime Piñata specimens to your friends, making the act of parading your Doenut around in a humiliating pirate outfit easier than ever.
