Item Description

Shigeru Miyamoto came up with Nintendogs after his family brought home a dog, and that personal spark shows in how carefully the game captures puppy behavior: the eager chases, the distracted sniffing, the blank stare of a dog that hasn't learned its name yet. Nintendogs: Lab & Friends is one of the three versions that launched the series in North America in 2005, the counterpart to Japan's Shiba & Friends.

Its starting kennel leans friendly and lively. The Labrador Retriever leads a group with the Miniature Schnauzer, the Toy Poodle, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, the Miniature Pinscher and the Shiba Inu, the breed that headlined this version in Japan. Good care and Bark Mode meetings with friends' dogs unlock more breeds, and you can keep three dogs at home and up to five more at the dog hotel, swapping them in whenever you like.

Everything happens through touch and voice. You stroke, wash and brush with the stylus, teach tricks with your own recorded voice commands, and head out on walks around town where your puppy meets neighborhood dogs and turns up the occasional present. The park and the gym are training grounds for the big events: the Disc competition, the Agility Trial and the Obedience Trial, which tests how well your commands have sunk in. Each climbs through five classes from Beginner to Championship, and the winnings buy food, toys and accessories from a catalog of more than 100 items.

Famitsu gave Nintendogs a perfect 40 out of 40, and it became the second-best-selling game on the entire DS. Lab & Friends is the classic way in, with the breed that was America's most popular family dog at the time leading the roster and a mix of toy breeds, terriers and spitz dogs behind it. Pick a name, say it into the microphone, and the bond starts from there.

About the game

Nintendogs is a realtime pet simulation video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS handheld video game console. It was first released in Japan, and was later released in North America, Australia, Europe, and other regions. It was originally released in three different versions: Dachshund & Friends, Lab & Friends (Shiba & Friends in Japan), and Chihuahua & Friends. It has been re-released twice since then, first as a bundled release with a special edition Nintendo DS with a new version called Nintendogs: Best Friends, and then later as Nintendogs: Dalmatian & Friends. Nintendogs uses the DS's touchscreen and built-in microphone. The touch screen allows the player to pet a dog, as well as to use various items that can be found or purchased. These range from balls and frisbees, to toys, to grooming supplies to keep the dogs happy. The microphone is used to call to the player's dog by speaking the name given to the dog in the beginning of the game as well as to teach the dog tricks such as "sit" or "roll over". Players can bring their dogs on walks and to the park if they so choose.
