Nintendogs+Cats Review: Playzap Games

As much as customers rampage the stores just to buy the cutesy doggy game, there are ups and downs to this game.
In 2005, Nintendo launched its first pet sim for the original DS and DS lite. The game was a complete success! But, after a longer while of gameplay, the player of the Nintendogs version usually got to a boredom stage. Many still purchase the original game, but there's a whole new dimension. And that is the power of 3D!

Finally, in 2011, Nintendo released the second pet-sim stage. The 3DS' very own Nintendogs. All the many, it's new title obviously exposes a new feature. Yes, yes, folks. Cats. Nintendogs+Cats.

With the launch of 3 fun new versions, what's new? That's where we come in to tell you. Don't buy before you know about the game, as it may not even appeal to you!

Well, of course, you start out as a sweet person looking to find a puppy. That's why you head on over to the kennel to adopt the cutest pup you see! Learn their gender, attitudes, cost, and more. Then, once you have chose a cute puppy that suits you expectations, you can take your new friend home! Yay!

When you arrive at home, your puppy will be waiting there. After some little fun where you tickle it's tummy, pet it all over, and all, you'll get the chance to name the cute little one. So, get ready to choose your pup's name! IT CANNOT be changed. The puppies are even cuter in this dimension!

Most viewers find the cats a disgrace in the game. The cats, like real ones, sit at your home and eat, eat, eat. They scratch the cat posts and do what a normal cat does. Yes, they refuse to play with your puppy. Poor pup! Of course, neither can you walk the kitty cat. Most of the benefits of the puppies aren't with you kitty. Just keep that in mind. I'll tell you one thing, the cat being unable to do almost anything made be dislike this game just a small bit.

Yes, there is more new stuff. And picking your puppy is only a bit new because the puppies, like I said, are SO much more cute. But what I didn't mention is that they are so much more realistic now!

Walking your pup is fun, and there is also a pedometer! Every step you take counts for your dog! Also, meet your friends' dogs with Streetpass! Oh, and did I tell you that you can pick up gifts on your walk like before? Yes, you can still do that. But now, most of the stuff is stupid junk like tires! Who wraps up a TIRE!?

I'll tell you one thing, though. All that junk you find doesn't have to go to waste. Yes, you can throw it to your puppy so he\she can play with it. But, a new feature is to talk to Mr. Recycle! Give him your junky toys and he can give you cool toys for your puppy! Ones that they will adore rather than a stupid tire or stick!

Let me quickly state a couple more features, because I have to give you my rating for this all-cutie cutie game! So:
There is a new way to play the obedience trial! You can use your AR cards (included with 3DS) to play the contest!
Go to the Cat Cafe' to let your pets munch on treats and meet some new doggies and maybe kitties.
There is the all new Rare Shop, only found on walks, that you purchase rare items from!
Bring your puppies to life in YOUR REAL house using the '?' AR card and your Nintendo 3DS camera. The cute ones can come to life size if you have a HUGE AR card. If you have the small one, you can still bring it to life! It's adorable!
There are many more new things, but let me rate it.

10.0
There was barely anything wrong with this game, although, I do say if you've tried an old version of Nintendogs, this won't exactly feel like it's completely new. Yes, there are many new features, though. If this is a new game to you, then you might have more hours of fun compared to a pre-user. But, pre-users of this game will still enjoy all the old benefits, new benefits, AND THE CUTE NEW DOGGIES!
