Nintendogs: Dalmation And Friends

It's a new edition of the dog sim - but can you spot the difference?

Nintendogs: Dalmatian & Friends

By Carol A. Mangis (pcmag.com)

Here's a great gift for pet lovers with allergies (and DS's). We loved the original version of Nintendogs, and this one delivers exactly the same amount of fun. It includes the most popular breeds from the other versions, and the prized and elusive...

Compelling, engaging gameplay for any age.

Nothing much new in this version.

This game delivers all the fun of the original Nintendogs, though nothing new has been added.

But if you're already a Nintendogs owner, you won't get anything that isn't included in the earlier game.

Nintendogs: Labrador and Friends (DS)

By (cnet.com)

You'd have to have a cold heart indeed to not be charmed by the bright eyes and madly wagging tails of the wonderfully lifelike Nintendogs. The game's boisterous and affectionate young canines are impossibly endearing, making the tasks of caring for...

That Nintendogs occasionally limits some of your activities in what is already a streamlined set of options is pretty much the only bad thing you can say about the virtual puppy game. However, the game is at its best in short, satisfying bursts, and is...

Nintendogs: Lab and Friends

By Andrew Joy (vggen.com)

If you own a Nintendo DS, and even if you don't, chances are you have probably heard of Nintendogs and for good reason. Nintendogs is innovative, it looks good and it really draws you in (for a little while, at least). But, while others are touting...

Cute factor is off the scale ; The dogs look terrific ; A wide variety of fun items ; Dog walks offer plenty of chances to snag rare items ; Multiple ways to interact with your virtual pup

Game is too short and feels like a chore ; Most of the game is just so humdrum ; Takes too long to earn trainer points ; Too many factors involved for Bark Mode to work in reality ; DS hardware may not have been up to the task

Just to be clear, Nintendogs is not a game, as I would normally consider a game. It has no story, very few goal and the closest thing it comes to a boss battle is trying to survive the droll and repetitive "humor" of the contests' commentators. It is...

In fact, it may be all the hype surrounding Nintendogs that makes it fall so terribly short of my expectations.

Nintendogs: Lab & Friends

By Phil Theobald (gamespy.com)

Nintendo unleashes its virtual pets. They're easier to care for than real puppies, but are they as fun?

The voice recognition works surprisingly well; it's fun to play with the puppies

Nintendogs is a title that sounds simple in concept, but the small touches make it a blast to play with. To simply look at screenshots or read a review won't allow you to properly form an opinion of this unique piece of software. So whether you can...

Nintendogs review

By Cliff (gamefreaks365.com)

The number of titles released on the Nintendo DS is unfortunately small, especially when you take into consideration that out of the few, even fewer use the DS's functions to their full ability. With Nintendo's latest creation, a puppy simulator called...

In conclusion, Nintendogs is a fun little title. As I said before, it gives you all of the benefits of having a real dog without the penalties of being sued by the PETA for throwing tennis balls or Frisbees at your pets. Emotional attachment is...

It's not a game, it's a simulator. If you don't already appreciate Nintendogs, don't even try to.

Manufacturer's Description


Put a puppy inside your Nintendo DS! Nintendogs brings puppy love to a whole new level! Nintendogs features puppies of the most popular dog breeds, including Chihuahuas, Labrador retrievers, beagles and German shepherds. Each version of the game comes with six breeds to choose from at the start, and additional breeds are unlocked as you play the game or interact wirelessly with other Nintendogs players. This is your pet, and although it doesn't shed, it still needs your love. With the stylus, you pet your Nintendog, all the way from head pats to belly rubs. The more love you give, the more your Nintendog will bond with you. As your puppy becomes your best friend, you use the built-in microphone to teach your dog its name and many tricks! So after you train your dog to know its name, it will come to you (and your DS's bottom screen) when you call its name. After it learns a trick, it will perform that trick when you tell it to. For example, after it learns the sit command, your pup will take a seat each time you say "sit." Of course, you need to care for your little pup. This includes regular feeding, watering, walking and bath time. If you're a person who doesn't play video games every day, don't worry about anything bad happening to your Nintendog if you don't get to it every day. Nintendogs don't die, and they stay puppies forever. If you haven't played the game for a few days, though, your puppy will be thirsty, hungry and might need a bath when you start the game up. Your puppy needs to go out for walks, naturally, but these walks are special. In addition to giving your pup some exercise, your Nintendog will come across special item boxes. Inside these boxes are all sorts of goodies, from apparel to toys. With tons of items to be found, your Nintendog will always be styling or at least have a fun ball to chase around. The Dachshund & Friends package includes: Miniature dachshund, Golden retriever, Beagle, Pug, Siberian husky, and Shih tzu.
