I emailed Nintendo about the American release date for Nintendogs, and about the possibility of a headset for the DS, and here's the response I got:

Hi,

We haven't announced any plans to release a headset for the Nintendo DS yet, but
the port on the Nintendo DS seems to indicate that it's likely to be one of our
future products.

We've announced plans to release Nintendogs in North America, but our game
programmers in Japan haven't provided us with an estimated release date yet.
Keep an eye on our web site and Nintendo Power magazine for updates.

What was the point of this thread?

The port is for a headset, which we knew since launch. Why bother showing off a headset when the online infrastructure hasn't been unveiled?

Programmers get to decide what gets released where now? Awesome.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

It isn't exactly insider info, what you posted.

Another Nintendogs thread.

Stunning.

At least Nintendo decided to answer personally.

That... says........ uh..... something.

I just thought there were others who were wondering about the two things. Geez, sorry for doing dirty work! :lol

I get pissed off enough when people in real life talk to their dogs. Now it's gonna happen in the DS world, too?

No, I think it just shows that NCL keeps NoA in the dark about everything until they're ready to tell the public.

I'm sure NOA's e-mail reps know more than what they're allowed to tell...
