Perhaps I misspoke. I just meant that Nintendogs seems like such a bland, inoffensive game that any strong reaction to it surprises me. I just don't know why any one would bother to take the time to come in and bitch about it, especially when it is so obviously not marketed towards you. To me, complaining about Nintendogs is like complaining about those Leapfrog Learning Pad things. I mean, I have no intention of buying one of those, but I could see where a different audience would enjoy them. I have the same view towards Nintendogs, and complaining about them. Is a game where you play jump rope with puppies and throw them balls truely a genre that you care so much about that you would take the time to have multiple posts about how much you dislike it? I hope I do not offend you, and if I do I am deeply sorry, I am just trying to clarify what I said.

You're right, but know that the "Nintendo" part of "Nintendogs" that is causing the reaction, not necessarily the game... "negative" points about Nintendo products are seeminly fun to point out...ohamsie said:

My Girlfriend is going to scream "Soooooo cuuuute!!!!" when she sees those covers. She's not interested in gaming in the least... but at least once a week she asks about this game. It's going to be massive. I'm looking forward to it too I must admit.

there aren't too many "Nintendogs" doing any b*tching...Oogami said:
in fact the most prominent critic isn't even interested in the game, as he pointed out "he likes arguing" is the given reason for his many attacks
Oogami said:
I don't think anyone here really gives a shit if it's from Nintendo, Square or Osama. The point is when a game does something lame like this, it's bad for the customer but great for the publisher. We see something lame and we call it. If you're not happy with it you can go back to your cave, no one will miss you.

It doesn't even make sense. So if you want to complain you're free to do so. But yet if I'm not happy and want to complain, I can't do that and have to go back to my cave.

Does no one else believe trading to be a good gameplay feature (if you can find people, wish I didn't have to add this disclaimer)? Obviously Nintendo aren't going to ignore the fact that this might lead to greater sales, but I honestly think they put in this sort of trading for gameplay reasons as much as anything else.
In fact, making three versions may not even help Nintendo that much, from the sales side. One Pokemon game always sells more than the other, if not by a huge amount, and in that game people are basically going in blind when they make their choice. They're probably just picking on which colour they prefer or which cover monster looks better to them, but as for which games have which monsters, they're not that likely to know.
With Nintendogs it's different. There are only 5 puppies in each game, and given how prominent they are on the website, I'm sure they'll be shown on the back of the box. Now if Nintendo aren't careful, they could really fuck up the sales of one version. They need to make sure they get the right balance and don't let one of them have an unpopular line up of dogs. It's inevitable that sales of one copy will be worst than the others as it is, they don't want to escalate the problem.
As for Oogami's comments...*shakes head* It's so annoying when someone new joins a forum and makes comments like they have any idea of people's personalities or tastes.

Is it not Puppy Times in the US?
IF Nintendo had the balls enough to leave the box art just the way it is with Japanese and all
this would get people very curious here in the states it could become bigger than Pokemon
The cuteness is amazing and I don't even like dogs
P.S. I am in shock of all the bitching here damn people this is not even the type of game grown men should bitch about
Mama Smurf said:
I seriously doubt it's for gameplay reasons. Because in what way? It's not like you can link battle like in Pokemon. Plus there're only 15 dogs in total, I seriously doubt the trading features will be such a big thing as in 500+ Pokemon lineups.
Well I've been in this forum for over 5 years. But yeah I was just joking in some of my previous posts. My apology if I offended anyone.

So true, and it seems they need to work on that, unless Japan is different in terms of popular dog breeds, and I wouldn't doubt it, but based on American tastes the "Shiba & friends" game needs a different lineup. The majority of dogs in "Dachs & Friends" and "Chihuahua & Friends", are commonly found in the top 10 AKC registrations. Shiba really only seems to have the Poodle.Mama Smurf said:
Though of course these are being catered to Japanese tastes, and perhaps things look a lot more balanced. But I think it would be rather nice if NOA merged the third title with the other two, but that would never happen, they'd be more likely to drop it if they felt it wouldn't sell.
Regardless I'm torn between which games to get. I think I might just get the one with the Lab and Beagle for myself (my favorite breeds), and get the one with the Corgi for my sister. However I wish I could get the other one as well as I so want the German Shepherd and Dachshund. Gah, talk about a hit in the wallet.
Anywho, where the hell is Drinky? Surely this thread should have been hijacked by now. :/

No one said it'd be as big, but it can still be for gameplay feature. And linking up will let different puppies play together which'll be nice.

Not interested unless dogs can sniff each others butts and exhibit other lifelike dog behaviour.

didn't read the thread, so i don't know how people feel about the 3 versions.
in any case, they totally have the right idea for the marketing. Nintendo should keep the same exact box art worldwide. a name like Puppy Times in that font would make a lot of sense, and makes the new sound less retarded now. although Nintendogs is still a much cooler name.
anyways, this game could potentially be that first "huge" game that DS needs. the fact that the dogs listen to your voice commands too should be a big selling point. i expect some really great commericials for this one.

i guess you could call it a tamagotchi type of thing. you name your dogs and raise them. they listen to your voice commands, and you play with them with the touch screen by doing all kinds of cool shit.Kiriku said:

I really don't have anything to add to this thread. It just kinda speaks for itself, y'know? Besides, I wouldn't know where to start.
Anyway, when you Nintendo types start liking actual GAMES again, call me, m'kay?
(Bonus points, though, to the dude who said you should hang out staring at kids' pockets to see if they have a DS in them. That's just like the nastiest frosting on this shitcake of a thread. You win, man! You win!)

It's not a game. It's not something I give a shit about. But, for what it is, Nintendo has the right strategy here. Different versions (I wonder if the Sales Data will split them up; if they do I say we start taking bets now) is a brilliant idea for selling this type of software. Like the idea of the thing or not, Nintendo is setting up a chance for this to become a phenomenon.
My girlfriend already plays more of my DS than I do. This will only augment her playtime. In fact, I think I'll probably get her a DS with a different color when they come out. She's already pining for one.
Dachsund version for me. One with lab for her. I like this idea. But I own at least one version of every Pokémon game. So take from that what you will.

Nintendo should release the more hardcore version of these games too:
Nintendawgs and Nintenbitches
Photoshoppers go at it.
