Nintendogs (Dalmation) DS Nintendogs which comes in four versions features puppies of the most popular dog breeds including Chihuahuas Labrador retrievers beagles and German shepherds. Each version of the game comes with six breeds to choose from at the start and additional breeds are unlocked as you play the game or interact wirelessly with other Nintendogs players. All 19 breeds are unlockable in each version. This is your pet and although it does not shed it still needs your love. With the stylus you pet your Nintendog all the way from head pats to belly rubs. The more love you give the more your Nintendog will bond with you. As your puppy becomes your best friend you use the built-in microphone to teach your dog its name and many tricks! So after you train your dog to know its name it will come to you (and your DS’s bottom screen) when you call its name. After it learns a trick it will perform that trick when you tell it to. For example after it learns the sit command your pup will take a seat each time you say sit. Of course you need to care for your little pup. This includes regular feeding watering walking and bath time. If you are a person who does not play video games every day do not worry about anything bad happening to your Nintendog if you do not get to it every day. Nintendogs do not die and they stay puppies forever. If you have not played the game for a few days though your puppy will be thirsty hungry and might need a bath when you start the game up. Your puppy needs to go out for walks naturally but these walks are special. In addition to giving your pup some exercise your Nintendog will come across special item boxes. Inside these boxes are all sorts of goodies from apparel to toys. With tons of items to be found your Nintendog will always be stylin’ or at least have a fun ball to chase around. Nintendogs is not all pet and prim. There are trophies to be won and money to be made! Show that your Nintendog is best in show by winning the three events: disc competition agility trials and obedience trials. In obedience you score big points when your puppy does a certain set of tricks at your command so grooming and a good relationship with its master is vital. With agility trials and the disc competition you will use the touch screen to throw a flying disc or lead your dog through an agility course. These two require some practice before you actually enter the events (although some dogs are just naturals at catching a disc). With the money that you earn from the events you can buy supplies and more dogs from the kennel! Do not let your Nintendog get lonely. You can k
