Nintendogs certainly does look like a good game - im thinking of buying a DS just so i could play it, would be good if Nintendo released a cat version, then again nintencats doesn't sound as good.

It is, indeed, very good. I borrowed the office DS to show the game to the family. My three year old daughter loved it, having no trouble playing ball with the puppy - a world apart from struggling to get her little mits around the 12+ buttons and dual sticks of the PS2 controller (to play GTA:SA, natch)

Just not so sure if it's got any real longevity.

Anyway, I'd prefer a cat-based version. Perhaps it could take the game's original moniker, Puppy Times, and rebrand as Kitty Times.

Than again, that sounds more like a porn starlet.

i always picked on my GF for beign so interested in it and then i baught it just for the miyamoto signing... and now i play it more than any other DS "thing" i have. i think it is good for compasionate people. game play wise it will run flat eventually but you can spend hours training your dog for the dif challenges and competing with them and then when you peak... you coudl always by another dog... up to three at once and up to 5 more in storage... plus you can buy the dogs from other carts if you do the bark mode with a friend who has a dif game... so one 30$ cart can get you all the different dogs available. the thing that keeps me playing is sadly the guilt i feel if i dont feed the poor thing for a dan... they way the react is so natural it realy makes you feel for it. bastards!

also for those out there who arent into the dog care thing... the new castelvania is fantastik! just thought id throw that out there :)

You just described why i'm not going to buy this game, i'm prolly not going to be able to leave it alons for 5 minutes. Not with all those cute puppies that run at you when call their name and tap their little paws on the screen and....aaah the undeniable and irrestible cutyness, leave me be...stop torturiing me...

Anyways, Nintencats isn't really a good idea, cats taking orders and actually doing them...thats not really realistic now is it.
Nintendolphins has my vote!

if it boosted sales 400% how many wasDS selling normally.
and how many people DIDN'T buy either meteos or advance wars?

Personally I pray for NintendSloths :P
