Seriously, wtf. I don't have a problem with it, but why is this anime dog so popular? My friend recently named her corgi after it, my girlfriend has been talking about wanting a corgi and naming it Ein forever, etc.

Dunno what you're talking about. Here in Mass, my local EB is 3 games without a coupon.

The only reason to have all 3, I guess, is to unlock them faster.
Of course for Nintendo it's $$$. Very smart move guys.
Is that so? At my local EB, the computer wouldn't even recognize the deal unless you had 4 games or a coupon + 3 games. Still, I got all 3 versions of Nintendogs for under $30 total. I just got a whole bunch of less than $5 GBA games from my local Gamestop and even had a discount cards. Cheapass gamers win again.Zeo said:
I really need to get my own DS soon. When I do, I need to get this game. :lol My boyfriend showed me the demo at Walmart and it was sooo cute~! xD I love animals. I really hope they make a cats version too, that'd be nice. 
I remember I used to go over to a friends house when I was younger to play the cats and dogs game on their computer.
I remember I used to go over to a friends house when I was younger to play the cats and dogs game on their computer.I wish it was as simple as just going out to pick up a copy but alas, I'm forced to import a copy (in fact 2, one for the g/f 
) due to our (Australia's) release being in September.
I had a go of a demo of the game in an EB today though and it was really fun. There were a number of times I just laughed at the sheer enjoyment I was having with the puppies, I'm really looking forward to receiving the game, hopefully by the end of the week.

Ooooooh, what versions did you get?Stryder said:I wish it was as simple as just going out to pick up a copy but alas, I'm forced to import a copy (in fact 2, one for the g/f

Can someone explain the "unlocking" of other dogs in each game? Most specifically if you unlock a dog is it unlocked forever? For example if you opened a Pug up while playing with a Chihuahua and decided to start over, would the Pug be available from the start of a new dog? Or would you have to earn it again?

I'm not sure that "starting over" is something that anyone necessarily does. You can stow and get a new dog, and that won't constitute "starting over." You unlock dogs by accumulating ownership points, or you can also get them by meeting a new breed of dog over local wifi. The 19th dog, the Dalmation, is unlocked by finding the fireman hat item.

Picked up my copy from EB today. It's hard to put down. Got my Corgi named Ein like "everyone" is doing.

I could have posted this in any of the Nintendogs threads kicking around, but I chose this one since it's the Nintendogs "appreciation" thread. Check this out...Supposedly it's one of the same deals as GTA: San Andreas, accessible by downloading a mod called "Hot Biscuits", but I have no idea...Sounds like a joke to me.

You can control left and right with the D-Pad and Accel/Rev with A and B. You can alternate between a behind-the-car view and a stationary cam with L.
My dog seems to be pretty thrilled by it and chases it everywhere. When he attacks it, it goes into mario kart "whirly spin" like they do when they get hit by shells and whatnot. It also plays music when you're controlling it which is kinda neat.
Was it this that everyone laughed at during Nintendo's E3 press conference? Miyamoto's dog giving it to Wood's dog.ToyMachine228 said:I could have posted this in any of the Nintendogs threads kicking around, but I chose this one since it's the Nintendogs "appreciation" thread.

Didn't want to start a new thread so since this is the appreication I figured I'd post in here.
1up had a pretty decent write up. It included a slew of tricks I never knew about.

How is everyone's Dog progress going?

Well I'll be damned...
I was playing Nintendogs and had to take a leak, so I handed the DS to my g/f and said to her "hey, why don't you play with my Nintendog while I go to the bathroom?" Up to that point, she'd seen me playing it, but hadn't had any hands on time.
I come back a few minutes later and she's all "that's a gooOOOood puppy" and tossing the tennis ball around with Puggsly the Pug. So I just let her continue, and walk him... hey, less effort for me... walking Nintendogs is a pain.
Long story short, I didn't get my DS back until she went to bed. I have a strong hunch she'll be adopting her own dog tomorrow and I won't be touching the DS except for when she's at work or asleep.
Frankly, I'm flabbergasted... the only game she's ever played and enjoyed was Super Mario Bros. 3. Whatever frequencies this game emits, Nintendo has come up with the ultimate chick magnet.
Though, for my own perspective, I too enjoy the game, although having to walk individual dogs separately is the dumbest design decision. And Archie Hubbs looks like Jean Reno.

I think you'll find yourself bored if all you have is Nintendogs for 10 hours.
I'm suprised at teh lack of impressions, though. I did a serach for nintendogs, and nearly all threads are short threads dedicated to an aspec, but with little actual impressions to speak of. Then again, I haven't gone through the Drinky puppy thread, and maybe it's all in there. Or maybe because it's a relative 'non-game'.
I have had my copy for a few days now, and I'm not finding it as engaging as my sister does. Anyway, I tend to shy away from most impression threads of a game (i will take a quick gander) until I have it. Funny thing is, with many must-buys (for me atleast), I don't read reviews until AFTER I purchase a game. I only ever read reviews if it's a maybe buy.

just a few questions that I have if anyone knows the answers (can't find them anywhere):
* Can you get another puppy, and change the trainer's name specifically for that puppy?
*does the game save all the tricks list voice commands for EVERY list, for EACH puppy, including the ones in the hotel? I'm guessing each puppy has it's own voice command list.
'* in bark mode, is the game realtime? in that I mean, do the dogs do the same thing on each Ds' screen? Or does it just download a copy of your dog and it's features, personality etc?
