Its a really really great game. and i NEVER regreted getting it. the pups are cute!! and they responds to your voice etc. the only prob i have with it is the limited breeds each edition has and it can be kinda frustrating teaching it how to do tricks. other then that, ITS GREAT (: WOOF

This is the best game ever.

It's just a wonderful game. Don't stress yourself, just enjoy!

Great game.

The dogs are cute and fun, but what's really cool is how Nintendo uses the DS hardware to let you interact with the game world. One of the dog toys is a bubble blower, and there is no obvious way to make it blow bubbles, until you realize all you have to do is literally blow on the screen. The mic picks up you blowing, and sends virtual bubbles floating out into the room. I get a huge kick out of that, and also how the dog will look at you and run over when you call its name... that's a level of interaction I've never experienced from a video game.… Expand

This game is the best of the best for any handheld system.

You can tell who actually has played the game or owns it -- they all love it! It's a fantastic game -- it's amazing how emotionally attached everyone who plays it becomes -- and I'm talking teens to adults. Lowest maintenance pet you'll ever have. :)

this game is my favorite game ever in my whole life and i always wanna play it.

I love it! The puppies are so adorable and cute. I could just play and play all day long. I gave it a 10 because it is really fun and its like you have a real dog only in a nintendo and its entertaining because you feed it ,give them walks , play with them and lots more.

iTS really really really really fun.I just love it. I hate the people who say its junk. I mean i loved it and the people who didnt are just stupid because some say that its from 13 below.Oh please its not a baby thing the thing is that you loved it and you think its a baby thing and its not.

I love this game because i want a dog, but i cant have one so this is the second best to a real dog! But it doesnt take as much work of a real dog. That makes it really cool. Its also cool because you can say their name and they will actually come to you! Its so cute!

This game is fantastic its just hard to get money to buy new dogs but really its grate sometime it gets annoying teaching a dog its name but its still good.

Beat this PSP. so real I get a weird feeling turning it off sometimes. *almost* a chick magnet. (drop a $1000 for the real thing instead)

So much fun! Ds is brilliant!

I love this game it is one of the best games I had ever played it is very realistic and the dogs are very cute. lol I don't like it because you can only adopt 7 dogs and if you want more you have to donate one it is sad but true. I have to teach them lots of tricks like shake your but wanna play wave sit role over beg sneeze and spin.

Wow. this game is great, but people overaged that play this game always complain about it and the people who only play it for 4 hours wouldnt like because they dont havent unlocked music, clocks, toys, sports objects, and more dogs. and believe me, theres a lot of things to unlock. and no, you cant do everything at once like entering contests and taking them for long walks because...YOU HAVE TO TRAIN THEM. thats the point. its a great game and i recomend it. and if you dont like it, DONT FREAKING PLAY IT, GENIUS.… Expand

I love the game it is really fun! I am pretty in love with my little dogs, and they sure know how to too! I have all champion winners, and the know all tricks they could possibly know and I am almost done unlocking all the dogs! It's so cool!

Its such a good game. Its much more fun though when you can take it on walks and feed it and its even better when you have 2 dogs. The only bit I can't figure out is when your on a walk and you come across another dog the owner talks to you but how do you respond to the other owner or does the Nintendo automaticly do it?

To do this trick, make sure you have an Asscessory on you. Select which dog you want to walk with. While planning the route for the dog, go through as many[?] blocks as possible. Once you have done that, make your way to the park, then back to your house. When your dog starts the walk, when it gets to the park change the accessory it's wearing into something else. After the game finishes saving, turn off your Nintendo DS. When you reboot you will notice that you have obtained all the items you did in the walk, and you can walk again with the same dog without the wait. Do this for present abuse! Dog or present? When walking your dog, if he/she comes upon a ? mark, he/she will bark once, or twice. Most of the time, one bark means a present, two barks means another dog. Easy way to find hidden presents When going on a walk, watch the top screen. When the dog icon stops moving, there is a hidden present coming up shortly. Be cautious, however, as this is also true when garbage is coming up, or your pup simply stops by itself. Get unlockable breeds easier. Do Bark Mode with a dog in a breed that you don't have.Example: Do Bark Mode with a Shih Tzu and after you do Bark Mode with that dog, you will be able to buy the Shih Tzu breed at the kennel.NOTE: This only works the first time with each different version of the game. So you can do this trick one time with Labrador & Friends, Dachshund & Friends, and any other version of Nintendogs. Linking: When linking copies of Nintendogs to unlock new breeds, keep in mind two things. You can only link with another Nintendo DS system once (and unlock a new breed). The breed unlocked corresponds with your partner's current pet, and it must be a breed that you do not have in order for it to be unlocked. RC helicopter: Go on a walk and you may find an RC helicopter as one of the question marks. Hold A to take off, the D-Pad to maneuver, and L to change the camera view. Note: They can be sold for $200. Agility training: Go to the gymnasium and train your dog on the agility course. It changes with each contest you win. Disc contest: Get a Boxer if you want speed. Get a German Shepherd if you want it to jump high. Blue circles on the map: While on walks, blue circles represent places to go to the bathroom. Longer walks: Mark out the path on your map, ending it at the house. If your last few steps ends at the house, wait 25 minutes, then your dog can go slighter further on the next walk. Note: Make sure to water your dog after each walk. Different colored Dogs: While at the pound, pick a breed. You will have three choices for the dog's coloring *light, medium, and dark). If you do not see the color you like, tap "Back", then tap on the breed again until the color and/or gender that you want with the dog appears. It may take some time to actually get what you want. Hand stand: Teach your dog to lie down and beg. While lying down, tell it to beg and your dog should do a handstand. Flip from back: Teach your dog roll over and jump. Tell it to roll over then quickly have it jump. It should flip forward onto its legs, with something that resembles a Kung Fu-style move. Getting money: Go on a lot of walks, getting as many question marks as you can along the way. Then, go to the second hand store and sell all the items you do not want or your dog(s) do not like. Some items are less then a dollar, but the amount adds up if you keep doing this. Losing contests: In certain classes of contests, if you get below a certain score you will drop a class. Walking your dog: When walking your dog and it seems edgy, give the leash a little tug towards the way it is walking. The dog will start running. Also, if you want you can give it a tug while running upwards, it will do a jump. Free Gifts and Toys While you can purchase new toys for your pup to play with, you can actually get some goodies for free if you know where to look. When you take your Nintendog on a walk, outline a path that goes by the blue "?" boxes marked on the map. Your puppy is likely to run off screen at those points and come back with a present for you! Your puppy will also randomly run to get presents for you if you leave the game on the "Home" screen for long. If left unattended, your Nintendog will leave the apartment and stay off screen. Simply tap on the center button (the circular one) to whistle and call back your pup who should be carrying a new present. Unlockable Rooms These appear for sale at the Interior Decorator once you've aquired the specified amount of points. Desktop - Get 6000 Trainer Points Beach House - 12,000 Trainer Points Eating bone and lightbulb When training your dog occasionally an outline of a bone will appear on the screen, you can feed this to your dog by dragging it to its mouth, you can do the same with the light bulbs that appear above your dogs head when your teaching them new tricks. Easy Trainer Points Go to the screen where you can brush your dog. Take the brush and put it on him. Leave it there for a few hours. As long as the brush is on him, you get trainer points for every 1 minute. Leave on overnight and you will have a ton of Trainer Points and most likely a new dog at the kennel!… Expand

Great "game". Not getting 10 as a few things can be improved. One of these is supporting real wifi (not just between DS) would be great to connect to more dogs owners.

This is the best game but I think it is sad when you have to donate a dog to get another ones I just wonder what happens to them and if they get good homes after that!

This is an addictive game with many things in it that make its realistic. Thumbs UP!

It is a very good game. it does get boring sometimes. but then you wait 10 mins, and you just are addicted to getting on again! This is my 2nd favorite game besides mario kart.

The game is so much fun!However you have to wait 30 minutes until get to go for a walk. You only get to do 3 competions a day. data die: push a,b,y,x ,up,down,left,right,r,and l at the same time.Keep on pushing for a little and a pop up pops up and then you know what to do.Read and push. Swim at beach: Push all button when you go for a walk pst the beach.You have to have 100000 trainer points though. So don't delete that dat unless your not far in the game and you don't want to this cheat.… Expand
