Rhyme · 09-09-2005 7:03pm

Awww... so cute, anyway of posting pics of this apparant marvel of a game?

madrab · 09-09-2005 7:05pm

, hummm possibly

must find digital camera

madrab · 09-09-2005 7:41pm

ok they arent great images, but the first one is decent

Gummy Panda · 09-09-2005 9:32pm

Which version has huski's in it?

madrab · 09-09-2005 10:50pm

dachshund & friends

Hugh Hefner · 09-09-2005 11:06pm

So, madrab, are you in America? Or did you order it on import? Will an imported US version be able to wirelessly connect to a PAL version? That seems quite important for this game.

flogen · 09-09-2005 11:55pm

Here are my two dogs, Gizmo and Bitey. I ordered Lab and friends from Lik Sang, took about 2 week, free delivery, worked out at around €30.

I think the wireless will work, but then again, I'm not too pushed on meeting other peoples dogs, I'd be more bothered if it was Advance Wars or something,

TerrorFirmer · 09-09-2005 11:56pm

I saw it today in Gamestop, so assuming its for sale?

Not supposed to be out until October, maybe you saw a preview box?

I still don't know about this game, not completely sold on the idea.

It most likely was then, I didn't look to close apart from looking at the back of the box.

dimerocks · 10-09-2005 9:00am

i dont really get it at all but it seems to be shifting ds'

johnny_ultimate · 10-09-2005 5:01pm

It's a game i want to buy out of curiosity but I can imagine the slaggings id get if i was caught with it.... Is it really THAT cutsie?

flogen · 10-09-2005 6:14pm

cutsie... well yes, but only as much as you want it to be. For example, you can give your dog a pink ribbon, but I chose not to.
Seriously though, it's the kind of game that you could spend a half hour at a day, get bored after that but still return the next day for more. Mainly because of the limits on the amount of tricks and competitions you can put to your dog per day. After that it's petting, feeding and walking. It would be perfect for bus journeys etc. if it wasn't for the mic, athough there are ways around that.

Balfa · 12-09-2005 4:27am

Bless us them wee dogs is cute. Anyway, It's kinda weird having my wife sit in the other room talking constantly while she's playing it. It sounds like she's on the phone, only she keeps telling the person on the other end to sit and roll over and stuff... :O

Anyway, I bought an alsatian named Deuteronomy, but alas I haven't fed him since I got him a week ago. I think my wife has been feeding him for me. It just seemed to get boring fairly quickly: perform action, say word, repeat until funny noise happens and dog has learned trick. on to next trick...

At least she likes it

madrab · 12-09-2005 8:42am

yeah thats the good thing, im going on holiday with my girlfriend in a couple of weeks, it should keep her busy for a while

sorry... couldn't resist!

It will all end in disaster I tell ya. I once had a tamagotchi that woke me up from a drunken stupor and ended up being smashed against a wall.

sprinkles · 12-09-2005 10:26am

Wow I think I'll buy a "game" so I can play with a dog and teach him to sit and jump and run and.........or....UI could always go outside and see my real dog. Just a thought.

Never really got those kind of games, just like tamagotchi or Dogz on the pc years ago. Kind pointless imo

Dave · 12-09-2005 10:29am

Next they'll have Virtual Virtual Dog.

"Wow it's almost like playing with a virtual dog"

With voice and touch technology so you can actually pet your dog as well as bark orders at him (bad pun I know)

flogen · 12-09-2005 10:45am

One of the deciding factors with me was the fact that because I'm away for the next year I won't have a dog, so this is my poor replacement.
I'd say by June 06 I'll well be sick of the bloody game, but I should have Metroid by then (please!)

the_syco · 12-09-2005 10:55am

Is there a version for the PC? Sounds like something my sister would like.

Retr0gamer · 12-09-2005 12:00pm

Nintendo DS only and it's a nintendo game so no chance of a PC conversion. There should be similar pet simulators on the PC but they would be inferior to nintendogs.

hey you, shut it & read the sig!

sprinkles · 12-09-2005 12:47pm

There was a game, exactly the same out years ago fot he pc, it was called DOGZ, and there was another one called CATZ. There where continual updates. Lookin pc world on the shelf where they have all the old cheap games, you'll find it there

Don't hey me, just cause you waste your money looking for love and affection from computer generated pets. You sicken me

Sprinkles denies all knowledge of archery......no wait a minute that sounds gay. Please ignore that.

Didn't you have the same problem with your gf? Thats right I went there!

Sorry for going off topic, but it was there for the taking.

Retr0gamer · 12-09-2005 2:02pm

No need to apologise. It gave me a bit of a chuckle.

projectmayhem · 12-09-2005 2:33pm

so basically this is a tamagotchi with slightly better graphics, right?

much better graphics, very good ai, speech recognition, lots of unlockable things, wireless, cute, & more

its defo gonna shift more ds's

evad_lhorg · 12-09-2005 6:42pm

well the DS is outselling the PSP in the east and the west on weekly and yearly figures. i cant see it happening here as much as europeans are idiots who see "playstation" and say WOW.

and sprinkles.... who says a game has to be on set guidelines. Nintendo never even said this was a game. Simulators arent technically games either but theyre ok? it is entertainment... why does the PSP or ps2 play dvds or umds??? they arent games.

back to the topic at hand.......now that sprinkles has finished discussing me and my rolling over or lack there of......it (the game) is deadly and cute and i want a puppy but you have to save up money (by doing competitions) to buy a second so i have to just wait to get mine....who i will be calling 'fluffy woof' ah yeah!

"deadly and cute"! You should get a job with edge, thats the level they are at now I think

As regards evad_lhorg, I realise that the psp and PS2 etc.. play things that aren't games exactly but my point is that I bought my ds for games, this is being marketed as one and I don't think it is. Imo simulators are sh*te, and don't offer me any form of entertainment....(train simulator!!!omg) Nintedogs is akin to the tamagotchi phase that swepth the mation and indeed the world a while back and I don't find it the least bit entertaining. However, Nintendo have to be applauded for an inventive idea, although its not original, but its novel one and a risk. I hope everybody who bought it many hours of happy gami......eh.........eh........whatever it is you do with it.

Gummy Panda · 14-09-2005 3:20pm

Don't mock it until you try it is my motto.

I've heard great things about it from a person who is the most anti-fanboy in the world.

Winters · 15-09-2005 12:22am

Id nearly get a DS just to play this game and find out what all the fuss is about. Then I just look at my psp and play Wipeour or Mercury or something...

Still though, Its a game I'd love to try.

CiDeRmAn · 15-09-2005 6:48pm

PSP, haa! you too will tire of the glittering graphics of all the games you own when you realise with a jolt, "Wait a god-damn minute, I own all this crap already on my ps2 and xbox! Why did I just blow €400 on a machine with games? My life is worthless, please punish me!" at which point your partner walks out disgusted, you sell the psp and games then get a DS, electroplankton, nintendogs, yoshi, mario, wario and all sorts of other pretty groovy games, that you definitely don't own already, with the possible exception of Mario64, but then you can never have enough of perfection, just ask my wife! HA, HA, HA..... sob, sob, sniffle

evad_lhorg · 15-09-2005 9:05pm
