Nintendogs: A Pet in Your Pocket

[@roxou493]

As a kid, during my first summer camp, I made my mom swear to walk, feed, clean and pet my three dogs everyday. She had never used a console before so little 7 years old me explained everything to her. Years later, she confirmed to me she actually did it everyday for the THREE WEEKS I was out. She told me she was so scared they would die if she forgot, so everynight after a long day at work, she took care of my fake puppies. I love her so much ;_;

[@statesofgracie]

it’s crazy to me how Nintendo has yet to bring this game back despite the strong demand, especially with the massive success of the switch and how it’s literally made for handheld

[@grassgrows8]

i wonder if it has anything to do with the lack of a dual screen. im sure theres a way around it but it reminds me of the pokemon ranger games. they were SO GOOD but im not sure how it could come back without the DS. nintendogs is quite different tho so idk

[@3amhellbeast]

​@grassgrows8 Probably more to do with the lack of a mic. They would need to add in some kind of auxiliary mic attachment for the switch for the voice commands, and because something like that isn't too subtle like it was in the DS it would probably break the immersion 😅

[@GoodlyPenguin]

​@3amhellbeast Technically, the Switch has a mic feature. You can try it out yourself by plugging in non-mic earbuds into the Switch, play fortnite, then talk and see your mic activating on the lobby or even during gameplay. No other game enables this feature if I recall. It IS doable but Nintendo doesn't utilize their games to enable mic features

[@amandaramey9760]

How it hasn't been made into a mobile app either is beyond me, especially since Nintendo now has a few under their belts

My mom, a professional dog trainer, played my game and had her own puppy. She taught that virtual dog all of the tricks and I used him for cash to fund my other, stupid dogs that were just there to look cute in ribbons and pop bubbles.

[@beetroten7178]

my most distinct memory of this game is letting my (at the time) toddler brother name our brown labrador, and him permanently naming it “Poop”. Poop ended up being the most successful dog we ever had, being basically an athletic prodigy, but I resented the dog for years because of his name. Justice for Poop.

Okay, tragic backstory time: I LOVED this game growing up. My parents hate pets, so this is the closest thing I got to a dog, and I was OBSESSED. My first ever dog on this game was Pumpkin the pembroke welsh corgi. I loved Pumpkin. I would take a bullet for Pumpkin. I took care of her with the care of a newborn baby for YEARS. Then, one day, I got one of those action replay cheat devices from a GameStop. I was like, "Cool! Now I can unlock all the items I still don't have access to!" So I stuck the device in my DS, applied it to my Nintendogs game, and... It deleted my save. IT KILLED PUMPKIN. I was never the same, man. I had all these cool new items, and for what? What was the point without PUMPKIN?????? I CRIED REAL TEARS. I STILL THINK ABOUT HER ALL THE TIME. Pumpkin was my dear baby girl, and I BETRAYED her, because I was a DUMBASS KID. RIP, Pumpkin. You were the best virtual dog any little girl has ever had. And like this comment if you, also, have been personally victimized by GameStop, in solidarity. EDIT: The overwhelming response to this comment inspired me, and I ended up buying a used copy of Nintendogs on eBay. Now I have a new cocker spaniel named Junie. THE LEGACY LIVES ON.

The way Nintendo put so much tender loving care to nintendogs and the DS and never did anything like it again is CRIMINAL. Like you had all these features and on top of that you would be rewarded for playing with others!! You could get the dogs from your friends version of the game if you played with them! The DS was so amazing at letting you connect with others and socialize in a way that no other electronic device has been able to do again and not because they can’t but because they’ve decided to monetize everything.

This video made me break out my old copy of Lab & Friends, and a couple of the dogs had been named after my first two dogs, who have both since passed away, and it was really nice to see them again. I made sure they all got fed and watered, got a bath, and got petted, and then I saved and turned the game off. Then you got to the bit about the Pet Hotel, and I went "yeah... I should probably drop them off there" and turned the game on to do just that. Turns out I had a fourth dog at the Hotel, so I brought him out and petted him after dropping off my other three dogs, and then went back to try and drop him off. Turns out you can't drop off all of your dogs, so one of them always has to stay alone at home. What this means for Eddy, though, is that he never could have put his dog up at the Dog Hotel before going to Orlando for the weekend, so that one's on Nintendo.

We had both the dogz & catz 2 on our pc when I was younger. It was cool to have the weird little cat or dog hanging while you did stuff on the computer. I remember installing them on every new pc my mom bought, until they were too old to work. Not all dogs looked quite that creepy, the cats looked slightly better overall, probably because it was released a little later. Really though, it was a program that was meant to run 24/7 on your pc, in the background, and along side your other programs, while also interacting with you and your mouse movements, ambitious for the mid 1990s. Considering how long ago it was, I wouldn't expect the graphics to be very good. Most full pc games didn't even have good graphics. 1:39

10:33 eyyy Lilo & Stich Sandwich Stacker mention. I played the hell outta that. Also, when a light bulb appears above the dog you can drag it and the dog can eat the lightbulb as a treat!

[@SaskiaWorld]

3:30 i have not ever seen a more niche relatable aspect to my life, then when they showed a clip of Sly Cooper from 2006 then explained how they had a PS2 for much longer than most kids 😅 stay out of my diary Burback!

[@ultraparanioa]

no fr the sly cooper cameo was such a shock. i also still have my ps2 as a 26 year old and it’s probably one of my most prized possessions as its in pristine condition since i’ve had it in 2004 😭

My Tamogatchi died in the car during a family road trip. It was in my bag in the far back of the car, just far back enough to be impossible to grab but not impossible to hear beeping nonstop as its life faded over several minutes. I would've sworn back then I could hear my dad grinding his teeth in annoyance at the beeping.

[@KarmikCykle]

I think my parents were relieved when my Tamagotchi was stolen from my backpack at school a couple weeks later.

[@OldObscureUnpopularGames]

OMG!! Original Petz series mentioned!! One of the earliest games I was in love with 😭 I still open them time to time

[@Max_Ivanov_Pro]

Nintendogs, the game that turned us all into professional dog trainers! Who needs real dogs when you can have virtual ones that can win competitions and earn money for your dream apartment in space?

[@alannadent7396]

For some reason, I still have my Nintendo DS and all my games. I’ve had it for…. Maybe 15 years? It’s survived 5 moves. We’re supposed to get snow tonight here so I guess it’s time for me to check in on all my nintendogs lol.

[@suzu-dp2vh]

that's actually nuts, good for you! i bought a new 3ds like four years ago that still works but my childhood ds lite and 3ds are gone forever lol

[@onibeebee]

Archie and Teddy were 100% boning after every competition

[@rewind_kitsune]

I love Nintendogs! I spent hundreds of hours in Dachshund & Friends. I had 3 huskies, all different. Marila, Juta, Ati. Obedience boss girl, agility star, and disk catching champ. They all were great at everything but had their own individual strengths and, as I like to believe, preferences. In-game time spent with each dog was in the 10s of hours. That’s hours individually playing, petting, training them. I love my nintendogs. I recorded a song on that music player for them. I believe I unlocked most of the toys too, besides some exclusives. I loved my nintendogs. I really miss them.

[@Mads97415]

I LOVED this game as a kid! I also remember having the Windows Cats and Dogs as well. Another one of my favorite pet sims was the original Petz on DS where you play as a kid who gets their first dog and teaches it tricks, how to walk on a leash, and like house etiquette (couldn't think of another rule). I think I replayed that 3 or 4 times and I'll NEVER forget how my little sister wanted to play the game so she took it from me and DELETED my og dog that was a beagle named Brownie. I still haven't forgiven her lol (I mean I have but that is a VERY distinct memory). Also I still have Nintendogs and the nintendogs for 3ds and I don’t think I’ll ever get rid of them because they were absolutely two of my favorite games as a kid and this video is making me want to go check onto them😅

[@julieearnest]

I had 3 chihuahuas named Taco, Burrito, and Chip ❤️ RIP I guess bc they haven’t been fed in probably 15 years 😢

[@sumlem]

RIP

[@Moskeeto]

Chip? Really? Not Tostada, Sope, Torta, Flauta, or Tamale?

[@gimblesfan4lyfe]

I’m an 06 kid so the hype around Nintendogs was kinda low when I was old enough to have a DS, but this really reminds me of the feature in Pokémon X&Y where you could similarly feed and play with your Pokémon. It was really emotionally engaging as a child and was a core memory for me

[@sweet_creature7799]

1:49 I PLAYED THIS ON MY PARENTS' COMPUTER! Thanks for the flashback, I was not expecting it!

[@Sakura2596]

Man, blast from the past! I loved playing the old Dogz and Catz PC games. I may still have a copy of Dogz II or 3 shoved in a box somewhere. I also used to play the Nintendo 3DS Petz Bunnyz game all the time as well.

[@Owen221]

I remember getting this from my neighbors daughter as a hand me down. She played it when she was a kid and used a game shark to get max money so my experience was just using the most expensive toys and games and running over the dogs with the bowser car 😂😂

[@TerryB2]

You know Helldivers 2 is goated when it’s already gotten a Burback appearance 🙏🏻 Great video bois

[@matthewlang737]

OMG, i love you, Eddie and Eddie's brother. You have no idea how much i light up when i see a new video by y'all (or Drew Gooden or Danny Gonzalez).

[@phantom_isle]

the holdovers was incredible, it made me cry multiple times

[@bubblechet2873]

I absolutely adore you guys' dynamic I haven't cackled this much at videos in MONTHS

[@minen111]

I'm genuinely so happy to get this video in my feed!! I've been playing nintendogs + cats lately for that sweet sweet nostalgia, so it makes me happy to see a review for the older version of the game I grew up with. I remember when I had the chihuahua version for my DS and my most favourite dog was a sheltie named Nibbles. He was literally good at everything, especially the tricks competition, and I remember being excited to show them off at school to my friends. Well when I did, they immediately thought my dog's name was "Nipples" and made fun of my dog all day, I was so upset about it that I bought an entirely new dog that looked the same and named it "Kibbles" and did the whole training over again just because a few of my friends made fun of my original dog. I look back on those days and laugh because of how far a length a kid will go to not feel shame over something so petty LOL

[@mellowemma]

Im in college and my dad got my a DS and Nintendogs for Christmas. I genuinely forgot how amazing this game was and Im so glad other people appreciate it!

[@toadfroyo]

this makes me want to dig out my old copy of nintendogs and cats and stop in on my old pets. my brother and i shared a copy of the game , so we each got to adopt one pet. great memories.

[@alexhamilton6356]

Straight bangers with these recent videos hitting some of my favorite games from childhood. Love you guys and love these videos

[@merefinl6914]

Absolutely everyone at my elementary school either had or wanted this game. When I watched the cool older kids get their huskies and german shepherds I knew it had to be incredible. And I was right Nintendogs was the best game ever made

[@sie42069]

Thank you for giving me a reason to live for 21:27

[@neverseenlou]

the tangent to explain the best movie ever made is so real

[@gamebiadvance]

The McDonald's Tamagotchi commercial made me realize I have one of those keychain toys that my granny had on her keys for years.

[@PoppysLilPlanet]

Seeing as we're all sharing our most visceral Nintendogs memories... I had a whole little family of corgis and labs (also named after foods) that I checked in on every *single* day without fail. I even taught my mum how to play the game for the nights when I was at sleepovers and whatnot. Then, one day, my cousin came over to my house while I was at school. To my horror, I returned home to find he had SOLD EVERY LAST PUPPY I OWNED and replaced them all with miniature pinschers. Goodbye, Oreo. So long, Chippy. Maybe we'll meet again, Muffin...

[@natashanabein]

My favourite trick was feeding them the lightbulb when they got a trick right

[@OreoHT]

I totally forgot about that!! Wow, I can hear the crunch! Lol 😂

[@LeveLUP.]

When you were out on a walk and got the Mario Kart toy was top tier chasing and terrorising the poor dogs
