God, I'm 20 years old and looking at Nintendogs...didn't see that one coming. Oh well, I never had a dog

There are a few idiots in every crowd. Will thing even outsell Yoshi? I mean, that was supposed to be higher profile than this turd, so I have no faith in this. This game has been the running punchline for the DS since it was first shown. I mean...beyond the initial 5 seconds of cuteness, you've got one of the more ridiculous titles to debut in years. I won't be suprised if it breaks 100k, since there's nothing else to buy (N64/GC syndrome), but while this titles's been touted as some sort of killer app, I still don't see it. Man, I can just see this game selling like half a million copies and going down as the second most embarassing moment in gaming history after Madden 96. But I don't think there are enough idiots in the DS's current userbase, and I'd feel bad for anyone that went out to get a DS specifically for this game. I mean, stuff that pride in a gym bag and toss it in the attic. You're not gonna be needing it much after this.jarrod said:

Thanks, I try. Occasionally.
If anyone was doing that, I don't think they'd need to use Nintendogs. Yoshi and Kirby would be much better examples.
Of course, it's much harder to argue your point if you don't ignore these games, so I see where you're coming from.
I hate to say it, but: it's not for you (cue PA comic). If you don't consider it a game then fine, but people still enjoy these things. People like needlework and I don't have a fucking clue why, but I don't say they're stupid for liking it.
So yes, it's coming to the DS. Yes, it's going to be labeled as a game. But if you don't think it doesn't fall under the criteria of a game, that doesn't mean people won't enjoy it.
I just can't see what your problem is with it. As far as I can tell, the only way it could affect you is if it was taking resources away from other Nintendo games. But Zelda's still coming. Advance Wars, Fire Emblem, they're still being made.
Maybe you just want to shut up people who like the idea, as you can't stand that they could possibly have this opinion (which would be pretty pathetic if the case). But has that ever worked? Ever? Has anyone ever shut up about Animal Crossing, or Shenmue, or MGS, or Nintendogs, or the DS, because of your feelings towards them? Maybe you think you're fighting the good fight, but if so, your tactics appear to need some work.
It's a game. Let's not start arguing the "it's a game/it's not a game" thing 'cause that's going to lead to crazy. I just hope for the sake of humanity it doesn't revive the tamagotchi craze. We got over that horrible time in this planets history! They have museums memorializing the heroes of that tragic time period! A tragic time for us all.
Nintendo fans are gonna need lots of that and Prep-H later on this year. I mean, the draw of two screens is clearly irresistable, but I think once the desperation subsides, it'll be pretty clear that a game about dogs (which you can't get all in one game, no less) is not the app that's gonna save the DS. Oh, and before it's said, I know it's got the bigger userbase. The DC was once outselling the PS2 as well.UltraMagnanimous said:

Oh I'm not saying whether it should be called a game or not. I'm just saying that, if you don't think it is one, considering it's merits (or lack thereof) as a game is a very strange thing to do.
To use an example outside of gaming, I see Eternal Sunshine called a comedy all over the place. Now if I went along with what it was labeled as, it'd be a terrible film. But I don't care that people call it a comedy, it's not, so I won't judge it as such.

I know you threw down the winkie and all, but I would really like to see japanese sales figures charting the difference in units sold between the PS2 and the Dreamcast starting with PS2's launch to compare to the PSP and NDS sales figures we have. Might be interesting.

I'd buy it if they made a Resident Evil version with Las Plagas puppies.

So did you people drag out seven thousand pages of pointless rage over Dead or Alive: Xtreme Testicles, Pokemon Channel, The Sims ...or like, any other of these 'non-game' things?

I think somebody else said it before and I'll agree with them. The Japanese are going to buy this game. They like this kind of stuff. Most of them CAN'T own a dog due to restrictions or lack of space. I'm sure the title was developed with that market in mind.
That being said, I'm sure there are enough people over here interested to justify bringing it over.
Those of you bitching about the three versions. WTF!?! Where are your tirades against every GB Pokemon title ever made? It's the same damn principle. Besides, there can't be that much to this game so socializing your dog and having it interact with others is going to be a big part of it. Having the different versions helps this idea along.
And why get so mad? Did you want the game that badly before you found out about the different versions?
In closing, the trolling of just about every DS thread lately has reached god-awful levels. I'm not naming names, but there are some long-time, well-known GAF posters who have become mega-trolls. Okay, we know you think DS is stupid and don't give a shit about it. We get it now. It's no longer entertaining. You're well-known on these boards, and popping into every DS thread just to troll it like some kid should be beneath you. GAF used to be better than other boards in this respect but here lately it seems that discussion without troll harrasment has been harder to come by, especially regarding anything DS.
Oh well, Rant over.

If Nintendogs has a mini-game where you can throw a ball and the dog gets it, or if you can buy new collars for your dog, then it's basically an E-rated DOAVB.Amir0x said:

This is like Pokemon for girls. And Pokemon has always come in three versions.
Red, Blue, Green
Yellow! OMG!
Silver, Gold, Crystal
Ruby, Saffire, Emerald
What are the DS versions called? Chalk and Charcoal? Who wants to be that about three to five months after they hit, there'll be a third version?
Now we have Nintendogs, the new Puppymon craze. Trade them with your girlfriends in new Dachs & Friends, Chihuahua & Friends , and Shiba & Friends colors!
And let it be known that I'll be buying the Dachs & Friends version. German Shepherd Get!
Anyone who's getting the Chihuahua & Friends version wanna trade with me for a Golden Retriever? ;__; Then I'd finally have one again.
Oh how I miss her...

Cruel Bastard Mario said:Diamond and Pearl, actually
Hmmm. What the hell could they call their lovechild? I never really thought Crystal fit in with Gold and Silver (should have been Bronze or Platinum, all things considered) so it seems like Crystal would be the fit with Diamonds and Pearls, but it's already been used.
Pokemon: Fine China Version?
Or wait, I've got it - Pokemon: Cubic Zirconia.
Edit - and what the hell are they going to call the Gamecube game
:lol I was thinking about that too. Crystal would have been a perfect fit, but I figure they'll probably call it Pokemon Platinum. It's like the only pubicly recognizable precious element left.
(edit: I ment publicly recongizable, but whenever I make that typo, I tend to keep it. Let things lie, ya know?)

You know when you read a thread you have not been involved in?
And realise how fucked up a place GAF is?
Wow...
In slightly related news, I just gave my sister her birthday DS.
She shed tears of Nintendo love.
And this is from a sister who created Sega Monday at her college.
The force is strong in this one.
Peace GAF, hope you're all well and happy!
Even the rubbish ones.

You ain't bustin' my balls. And what TRU is this? Also, anecdotal evidence means nothing. We know the Tamagotchi craze died down years ago. Also, even if that's true I hope everyone who picked up those Tamagotchi's have them explode in their faces. Even if it's a little girl or boy.
