Whooter Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 No Jack Russell Terrier? No $ale! Seriously, though, I'm a little disapponted in the omission, but I know they can't include every breed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavy liquid Posted March 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 If they had one with a Shar-Pei, I'd bet my mom would buy one, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MastaRedSnappa Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Is this some kind of Tamogotchi-style game or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan FB Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 From the videos that I've seen, the gameplay looked like the old Dogz/Catz games for PC (so yes, Tamagotchi-like). However, it also looked surprisingly realistic both in the terms of graphics and the dogs' behavior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFo Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Did any of you watch Sataro Iwata's keynote address at GDC? They showed off Nintendogs during the speech, and I must say that I'm very surprised at how intersted I am in it. One of the things that interested me most was how it used the built-in microphone on the DS to train dogs and teach them how to do various tricks. Very cool, especially since you can come up with whatever phrase you like. With a system like the DS, I'm not going to necessarily buy it because it can play the types of games I've seen before. I want something new and interesting that makes good use of the touch screen, wireless capability, and microphone; this looks like it could be it.

Cyberwoo Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 :lmfao Just watched the video for this "game". I think when the guy started "petting" the screen with his pen was when I lost it. Like....wtf? :wtf Nintendo can sure put out some strange stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whooter Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 April 21st in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Gamespot has a new preview up of Nintendogs. They are playing the Japanese import version of the game. The game sounds like a blast and it's sure to be a purchase for me when it hits the US (and when I rebuy a DS). You can read the whole preview here . There is also a few new gameplay videos worth watching. I don't think it's humanly possible to not go "awwww' the minute you see one of those puppies running around.

merlot Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 This game is starting to get my interest. Eh, it's probably just another gimmick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFo Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 I've been seeing reports around the Net on various gaming boards that Nintendogs has earned itself a perfect score of 40 from Famitsu magazine. Can anyone confirm this? If it's true, it would make it only the fifth game ever to achieve that. The best evidence I can find to support this is this. It's not much, but it does include Nintendogs as one of the games that has received a perfect score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChoiceStriker Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Here's a pic of the actual review. Dammit, I want a better scan than the only one floating around out there right now. I'd really like to read it, but the Japanese is so blurry it's illegible. Anyway though, this is really cool news - my interest in this title has definitely increased. Edit: One of the few bits large enough to read made me chuckle: "Best picks of the week: Konshuu wa kore wo KAE!" (Buy these this week!)

Romier S Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Nintendogs is apparently a great success for Nintendo selling 182,000 units between all three versions of the game in the games first week of sales. This led to a spike in Nintendo DS sales in Japan bringing the total system sales for the week to 96,000 units sold in the last week, compared to 33,000 units moved for the Sony PSP. In fact, the DS outsold every system on the market that week (the week ending the 24th). Here are some numbers for you: Software 1. PS2 Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song - Square Enix - 217,000 (new) 2. NGC Fire Emblem: Souen no Kiseki - Nintendo - 102,000 (new) 3. NDS Naruto 3 for DS - Tomy - 84,000 (new) 4. NDS nintendogs: Shiba and friends - Nintendo - 83,000 (new) 5. NDS nintendogs: Dachs and friends - Nintendo - 53,000 (new) 6. NDS nintendogs: Chihuahua and friends - Nintendo - 46,000 (new) 7. PS2 Baseball L!ve 2005 - Namco - 44,000 (new) 8. GBA Rockman Zero 4 - Capcom - 38,000 (new) 9. PS2 Gundam: One Year War - Bandai - 30,000 (234,000) 10. PSP Shutokou Battle - Genki - 29,000 (new) Hardware: DS 96,191 PS2 33,080 PSP 33,004 GBASP 10,820 GC 8,329 GBA 422 Xbox 112 You can read the full report at Gaming-Age here .

ChoiceStriker Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Yes, this is good news for Nintendo indeed. I think the success of Nintendogs is indicative of a cultural phenomenon in Japan. Since so few Japanese have the room for a dog (although toy breeds are popular there), Nintendogs might make an interesting surrogate pet for many people.

Orpheus Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Breed update from Gamestop for the US versions. Nintendo today announced that the North American versions of the virtual-pet game, set for release on August 22, will include three new breeds of puppies not found in the Japanese versions. As in Japan, the US Nintendogs will be released in three editions, each with six different breeds of canines for a total of 18. The Chihuahua and Friends edition will feature German shepherds, King Charles spaniels, Yorkshire terriers, Shetland sheepdogs, and the all-new boxer. The Miniature Dachshund and Friends edition will include beagles, pugs, Shih Tzus, and the new golden retriever and Siberian husky breeds. The Labrador Retriever and Friends pack will contain miniature Schnauzers, toy poodles, Pembroke Welsh corgis, Shiba Inus, and miniature Doberman pinschers Pugs, doxies, and goldens in one pack. Sold!! :tu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covak Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 I just can't decide. So looking forward to this game. I should have 3 or 4 friends with it. Can't wait to see the multiplayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
