How can resist such adorable dogs?

When you see this game, you think how much you need to get this for your kids right? Well, you have good reason. This isn't just any ordinary pet sim, there was actually much research and time put into this game to make it as realistic as it looks. Dogs move, act, react, and sound like they should. Each model greatly resembles the breed intended, as acts and thinks as a dog would. Not only that, there are a lot of aspects of the game that add to the overall experience.

Besides being able to teach it tricks, you can pet it using the touch screen, talk to it in cutesy talk as I like to call it, give it baths, take it for walks, enter it in competition, have it interact with you dog via Wi-Fi connect, feed it, and more. There is just so much you can do with your dog, that it almost replaces your dog.

Nintendo did keep away anything morbid, like your dog dying if you don't play with it for 2 weeks, or it actually having an "accident" in your house, or anything like that, but it does cover just about anything else. You cannot abuse your dog either, and although it makes it less realistic, you should try to injure your dog anyways.

With tons of tricks to do, a large handful of breeds to unlock, competitions to win, and items to buy, this game will last you. If you can only buy one DS game, this would be one very difficult game not be that game. This is recommended for all ages, but I think even the older adults will find themselves enjoying their Nintendog.

BOTTOM LINE: This user-friendly, very realistic dog simulator is by far one of the best DS games, and should be considered for everyone's collection for people of all ages.

FINAL NOTE: The developers have said that they are considering on making a Nintencats, do look out for that in the future.

Nintendogs - Brilliant Game

- From a twelve year olds point of view. ^^

I was flicking around the web when i went onto my usual website (Habbo Hotel) and i found an advertisement for nintendogs, at first i clicked off it, but when it appeared again i thought: 'Hey why not give it a try?' So, of course as soon as i clicked onto the website, i was hooked. I went onto the website almost every day, and when the adverts arrived onto telivision i went bazerk! I was going on about it all the time and it drove my mother up the wall, so (Even though this sounds rather spoilt) i tried to be really good and eventually my mother bought the game for me.

At first it was rather tricky and hard to understand, but after a while you get used to the whole touch screen etc and find it easier to use. It is a great game for the DS as it explores all of the console, and is rather fun to. It enables you to see what life is like if you had a real dog, so it is really good for children who are either allergic to dogs, or dont have the time for them.

The game starts off with you walking to the kennel, opening the door, then being able to chose the breed of your choice. (You start of with £1000 and and prices range from £510 - £600) There are six different breeds to chose from, from each game, and it is possible to unlock all 18, (I.e Doing really well in the disc competition unlocked me Yorkie puppies) And by enabeling barkmode, (Where you link up with someone else with a different version of the game, I.e 'Lab and Friends - Daschund and Friends') You unlock the breed of dog that they own, so dont complain if your favourite breed is not on your version.

Once you buy your dog, you have to make it feel at home. (I.e stroke it lots and let it plays with the toys that you are given when starting the game.) Then after a long time, it asks you if you have chosen a name for it. (Obviously you say yes, and then it asks you to record how you wish to say its name, once your dog learns it, you type the name in, which gets saved to your game to help you remember to.)

Once you've named it, you are able to teach it a basic command, 'Sit' then the game REALLY begins.. You are then able to explore the world of nintendogs, and enter various competitions to earn money, and take your dog for walks, feed it, buy it toys etc.

Its a excellent game, and if you are a DS owner yourself, or if you have no console at this present moment, i would advise you to get it, it is worth every penny.

Good luck!

First of all, I pretty much bought my DS just so that I could play this game. I was a nano pets and tamigotchi fanatic back in the day, so I knew I would enjoy this even though I'm almost 20. Well, the game has lived up to my expectations!! - and more.

I was initially impressed just by the touch screen of the DS because this is the first game I put into the console. When you go to pet your dog it reacts like a real dog would and you can throw a tennis ball around the room just like you would in real life. It's so amazing what technology can do these days! It looks really incredible.

To me, the game never gets boring because every day I continue to earn trainer points and every time you hit a certain amount of trainer points (i.e. 2,000; 4,000; and so on) you can unlock another breed of dog from one of the other two versions. To get trainer points you have to do things like take your dog for a walk, brush it, and enter it into contests (bonus points if you place!)

You can also find a lot of neat items on your walks around the neighborhood. You can either keep these or sell them at the secondhand shop for cash.

This game is fun and entertaining; well worth the money. You can't have a DS without it!

Me and My sisters review for Nintendogs

My sister and I both love Nintendogs, even though I'm the only one who has a DS Lite. My sister plays Nintendogs all the time though--when I let her!! She has a pink Game Boy Advance, I have a Polar White Nintendo DS. She has dogs and about fifteen other games for her GBA. Nintendogs was my first ever game. Nintendogs is sooooo cool and kid-friendly. I'd say it's for kids five and up--it's very easy for kids and adults (even techno-challenged ones :D) to understand. Please buy this game for your son/daughter they will be delighted with it!

An awesome game for every child : A child's review

I am under thirteen. I do not have the game. Now that we hove gotten that straight, I can tell you how I know the game. The other day, my cousin came over and brought his Nintendo DS and Nintendogs Dachshund and friends. He immediately bought my sister and me a pup, and before you know it, I was consumed. I asways wanted to feed it, pet it, take it on a walk,etc. etc. Not only was it cute, but I have always adored dogs and have never owned one. This game gives you a way to get your favorite pup forever.

My 8-year-old son loves it

My son is too busy playing with his two nintendogs (a golden lab, "Lucky" and a beagle, "Daisey") after getting this (and a nintendo ds lite) for Christmas to post this, but he said it is a "5"!
I bought SuperMario and Mario Kart as well, but he seems to like this the most so far and he checks back frequently to ensure his puppies are doing well. He wants a puppy of his own and we can't have one where we are so this is a great substitute. He's learning basic care and behavior and realizing how much fun puppies can be even as he notices their differing temperments and abilities. He also enjoys earning contest money and spending it and the fine graphics and engaging design add to the realism and play value.

i love this game

I got this game as a christmas gift, along with the Nintendo DS. My brother also got one, but the lab version. Over the next few hours thats all we did. We played with them, fed them, walked them, and put them in compititions. We had fun with them then, and with them now. If you dont know if you should get it or not, DEFINITLY GET IT! I love it!

Great

Nintendogs: Dachshund & Friends! ^_^

I first heard about Nintendogs just before Christmas 2005. I took intrest in the product and then proceeded to put it on my wish list. Christmas morning, I recieved all three versions of Nintendogs. Kinda spoiled, aren't I (hehe). Personally, I think the Dachshund & Friends is the best of all three, but that's just my opinion. I also found out that each different version of Nintendogs has different unlockable items which varies the games more. Nintendogs Dachshund & Friends includes:

Miniature Dachshund (hence the name)(they look like sausages with feet! (hehe)
Golden Retriever* (star means one of my absolute favourites!)
Beagle* (lovely colours on the coat, a beautiful dog!)
Pug* (interesting expression on their little faces eh?) (they look aged!)
Siberian Husky* (probably my favourite puppy right now!)
Shih Tzu (a fluffy dog sort of similar to the pug!)
I currently have a Golden Retriever named Sandy, a Pug named Jada and a Husky named Akira! They are adorable! ^_^ My next choice of dog would be a Beagle.

This is a great game!!! BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. Also, to the cruel little pervert that enjoys fantasizing about chopping off puppy's tails and heads needs to seek mental counselling. This game is for dog lover's enjoyment, not for animal cruelty!

Peace out Nintendogs fans! :D
