1UP: They say dogs are a man's best friend, but six years ago with the launch of the DS, a virtual dog was Nintendo's best friend. The puppy-tamagotchi hybrid set the world ablaze, and is often credited as the game that changed the company's fortunes with the bizarre little handheld system. Now the 3DS has launched, and along with it a new Nintendogs. But are the pups realistic, or too simplistic? To find out, we talked to James Ha, an associate professor of animal behavior at the University of Washington.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is rumored to bring back the beloved Nintendogs series because of a leak in their trademarking.
The game where you got to look after and train virtual puppies has remained in people's hearts since its original almost 15 years ago.
Nintendo's popular virtual pet simulation game Nintendogs may soon be available on mobile devices, according to a recent patent filing. The technology is centered around augmented reality, allowing players to interact with their virtual dogs in real-world environments.
