who doesnt love this game. ouppy

This is probably one of the best pet simulators that has ever been released, as the quality of the product makes for a very replayable and enjoyable experience. However, this game is just a pet simulator and if you already have a pet then why in the world would you ever want to own this? Nothing about this is forgettable or bad, however, it is monotonous and boring at times, just like owning a real pet though that has the added benefit of actually being alive.

I guess this game is good for knowing if you'd like to own a dog one day, but other than that there isn't much to offer here for most people. At the very least, this "game" is competent enough for any person to pick up, understand, and play which was a great way to sell the console to a casual market.

Such a nostalgic game. I remember playing this game for hours every day when I was younger. I even got every other version of the game, but this was still my favorite. Nothing much more too say about it, I guess I just got bored when I was younger after unlocking everything. Still a 5/5 star and hopefully my dogs having fucking perished.

Spent an ridiculous amount of time on this as a kid.


J'ai eu ma toute première Nintendo DS avec ce magnifique jeu qui m'a permis de réaliser un rêve que mes parents ne partageaient pas avec moi : avoir un chien. A la place on avait un vieux cochon d'Inde qui puait, bref...
J'ai adopté, chéri et aimé toute mon enfance "Snoopy" mon cher et tendre labrador ainsi que "Nougat" mon adorable Shiba Inu.

As stated in the reviews below - this is a phenomenal pet simulator. The problem with that is most pet ownership is quite boring - made wonderful because of the emotional connection you develop with the pet. I can only care about data packets for so long before the illusion wears off.

not much to do but the vibe is nice. i tried to name my dog mario when i was little but i accidentally named it "m"

my poor nintendogs are prob dead by now..

insert mandatory "my dogs all died" review here

Genuinely a cute and fun game, graphically impressive for DS.

IM SO SORRY I MISS YOU SO MUCH I SHOULDVE NEVER SENT YOU AWAY FOR ADOPTION I DONT KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING WHEREVER YOU ARE PLEASE FORGIVE ME

Choccy the labrador hasn't had a bath since 2005, probably has fleas bless him

nesse jogo TODOS foram negligentes assassinos não adianta mentir eu sei q o local do teu cachorro tá infestado de coco VC MATOU SEU TOBI

When I was younger, I knew someone who had this game and when I would watch them play it, I remember thinking that it looked fun, but not something I really wanted. That was until I found out that you could get a Mario hat for your dog and from that point, it became a "must play" for young me.

I hope my dog isn't mad at me for not checking up on him for the past 18 years :(

my dogs have been starving for 15 years

it's amazing how a simple pet simulator can have so much charm and effort put into it, but leave it to nintendo to make a game that would otherwise be shovelware into probably the best pet simulation game ever. so much content, a cool unlock system, tons of easter eggs and a great soundtrack by pikmin composer Hajime Wakai, I don't know who wouldn't enjoy this.


Long after humanity is gone, aliens will discover our strange digital monuments to our animal buddies. I hope Nintendogs is a relic widespread enough to be a post-human meme

Oh my god I had forgotten all about this. I wasted so much time with these little pets. Fun to have around between play sessions!

I spoke to your Nintendogs. They understand that you had to move on.
