About this product

Product Information

Pretend, (practically) perfect puppies come to life in this triple-release line of pet simulations by Nintendo. In Nintendogs, players adopt, raise, and train an impressively intelligent virtual dog, of a breed they choose. In addition to Chihuahuas, this version of the game offers German Shepards, Boxers, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Yorkshire terriers, and Shetland sheepdogs. The dogs can be taught a number of tricks, and even entered into virtual dog shows to win cash for useful items.<br><br>The most distinguishing elements of the DS interface allow players to interact with their pets. The touch screen is used to for physical interaction. Rub the puppy's belly and he might kick his leg; poke his foot and he'll pull it back in surprise. The stylus is also used to manipulate in-game items, including the dog's leash and variety of toys. Players must communicate with their dogs by voice, as well, and a new puppy may need to hear the name he's given (spoken into the DS microphone) numerous times before he learns to respond properly.<br><br>In addition to the regular attention he'll expect from his owner, the puppy will appreciate a chance to interact with other computer-generated canines. Nearby Nintendogs players can meet in virtual community parks, supported by the DS' wireless communication capabilities, where their dogs can romp and frolic together. Each of the three versions of Nintendogs is distinguished by a title species (the other two are Miniature Dachshund and Labrador Retriever), but all versions of the game are designed to interact with one another, regardless of breed.

Nintendogs 👍
The game came pretty quickly which is nice. I was a little worried because the game card has something loose inside it when I shake it so that was concerning. But the game works fine. Sometimes if put in the game a certain way the game wont show up on the menu but its an easy fix. Good nostalgic game. Fun to play.

Great game to play!
I had this game when I was younger and lost all of my DS, GameCube and retro game stuff in a storage unit when we moved out of state. A lot of that stuff is worth a lot of money now. My mom couldn't afford to pay the bill any longer, and that's the last I heard of that. Im 25 now and I've been trying to regather everything that I had. Just loaded up the game, and it works great! Plus it was CIB. Thanks again!

Fun game for kids
I got this for my kiddo. The game cartridge is in good shape and the case and instruction booklet were all included and in great shape. She loves getting to take care of her puppy on the game and I don't have to constantly tell her that she can't have a puppy. She is not able to read yet so that has created some issues with her figuring out the game but that's not really the game's issue.

Best buy ever
This was the best buy ever! I had lost my nintendogs and was upset I had to start over from scratch but this game was already maxed out and played just like the one I lost! Super happy about it.
