Who is buying Nintendogs on august 23rd? I am buying this game with the sole purpose of showing stupid girls they do not need $2000 dollar puppies that crap everywhere. For $180 buy a Nintendo DS and this game for your girlfriend. I am sure just like any puppy she will just lose interest after a little bit of time

A lot of the hype seems to be from Nintendo fans who will buy anything made by Nintendo, but also ONLY buy things made by Nintendo. After I was disappointed again and again (ahem N64 and onwards), at least I can see that not everything that says "Nintendo" on it is instantly pure gold.
I got bored of my DS about a week after getting it. Not even Nanostray could save my interest for more than 3 days. I can't see the appeal in this puppy game either. I might be a little biased since I DESPISE dogs that aren't seeing-eye dogs or police dogs (i.e. useful).

You just reassured yourself a place on my "list"!
@Big: well maybe I am individual enough as a man to confess that I am REALLY looking forward to this game. Man that are unable/unwilling to acknowledge that they like cute/friendly animals are the the real closet homos. One's got to stand for what one likes, or be an unworthy being instead.
I like dogs, but digital ones...I don't know. The lack of feces is overrun by the lack of reality.
And ThirdStrike, I didn't know that was you the other night, good to finally have an identity for the guy who's been on my AIM buddy list for over a year

Thefunny thing is,I actually do like REAL animals,even the not-so-cute ones.
Digital Pets? Yes...thats just how the "not so great" future will be.
Everyone is now too dependant on computers these days.
People can't even take care of an animal(pet) any more...only as long as its a "virtual pet".
How about "virtual parents" then? Well, we already have that, its called the internet.
Its bad enough that cars are computer controlled, but we really don't need digital pets, thanks anyway...
Cyber Punk ain't all "that"!
Excuse me, I'm off now to wack off with my "Trance Vibrator", because thanks to the puter age, I no longer need a girlfriend.
If only I could survive by consuming(eating) my "junk" email...God, I would NEVER starve!!! (In fact, I'd be one fat-assed mother fooker)

GRRRR I'M A MAN! As a man I am very willing to acknowledge that Nintendogs is in no way original. Nintendogs is just a graphical update of the Tomagotchi craze from a couple years back. I also think the only reason people are giving it the time of day is because of the big fat Nintendo label slapped on the side. If Sega or Microsoft devved this game, we wouldn't even be discussing it. Now I've got to go watch some football, have sex with dozens of women, and eat tons of pork rinds BECAUSE I'M A MAN!
Damn I forgot to add that Tomagotchi was REALLY gay. As far as I know, Seaman was the only digipet that could be played by men.

Actually, much of the hype is from probably from people that played and like the game for the right reasons. How do you know that the game wouldn't be just as hyped on other systems? This game seems to have quite a bit in the way of mini games and interactivity too.
The demo had me hooked. It was cute watching the dogs interact with you and each other. Yes, I am a guy, I happen to love dogs. Besides, I could use a good "tea-time" game. Gotta take a break from blasting space aliens and saving the universe, right?
Here's a good question for all of you: How many of you admit to playing Pokémon games? Bonus points if you've played the non-RPG ones as well.

I played the red/blue versions pretty extensively back in the day (managed to catch all 151 of the buggers), but haven't played any of the more recent ones, yellow included. I've also played a little of Puzzle League, Stadium and Snap on the N64, but that's about it.
Methinks most any pet owner will tell you that as a pet owner one spends a great deal of time, unwilling as it may be, getting acquainted with the business end of your pet's digestive system (or, more accurately, its products and their subsequent and hasty removal). For better or for worse I guess the thing is accurate, heh...haven't played it myself though.
