Another great Nintendo innovation!

User Rating: 9 | Nintendogs: Miniature Dachshund & Friends DS
To put it simply Nintendo has done it again. Nintendogs is truly in a class by itself. The game manages a near perfect implementation of all the things that make the DS such a great gaming system. The touch pad interaction, the wireless implimentation everything that the DS has to offer is tied into a nice package that winds up cute enough to induce tiny seizures of glee. Gameplay seems to be geared towards rewarding the casual player that would have multiple short gaming sessions through the day rather than hours long gaming marathons. Time spent with your puppy is very rewarding. The attention to detail that they gave to the dog personalities is great. The way the puppies move, the way they occasionally ignore you shortly before they bound towards you full of the kind of joy that only a simulated puppy could fake with such conviction. That being said I still find myself embarrassed each time I get caught in public yelling at my silver DS, "Sit down!.....sit Down.....sIT doWn....good boy!" In the end, however, there is no question that it is worth it.
