Nintendogs for Nintendo DS (Pre-Owned)

Teach your puppy its name
You start by choosing a puppy at the kennel, then say its name into the DS microphone until it learns to respond. From there, you pet it with the stylus, fill its food and water bowls and give it a bath when it gets dirty. Tricks work the same way: guide the puppy into a pose with the stylus, then say a command such as sit or lie down so it links the word to the move. Over time your dog answers to your voice, which still feels surprising on a handheld from 2005.
Walks, contests and Bark Mode
Walks take you around the neighborhood on a route you draw on a map, and along the way your dog can find presents, meet other dogs and stop at the park. Money comes from contests: the Disc Competition, the Agility Trial and the Obedience Trial each have classes to climb. Winnings buy food, toys and accessories, and owner points unlock more breeds at the kennel. Bark Mode lets nearby DS systems running Nintendogs connect wirelessly so the dogs can meet and play together.
What to check on a used Nintendogs card
Look at the label and the gold contacts on the back of the game card. The contacts should be free of corrosion or dark marks, and the card should slide into the DS slot and click in without force. Any save data a previous owner left behind is not part of the listing. Nintendogs relies on the DS microphone and touch screen, so make sure both work on the system you plan to use.
Questions about this game
How does Nintendogs play on Nintendo DS?
You care for a puppy using the touch screen to pet, feed and play, and the microphone to call its name and give commands. The game follows the DS clock, so your dog gets hungry and thirsty between sessions and does best with regular visits.
Are there different versions of Nintendogs?
Yes. Nintendogs was sold in several US editions, including Lab & Friends, Dachshund & Friends, Chihuahua & Friends and Dalmatian & Friends. They play the same way. Each starts with a different set of breeds at the kennel, and the others unlock as you earn owner points.
Will it work on my 3DS or DSi?
Yes. Nintendogs runs on the original DS, DS Lite, DSi and every Nintendo 3DS and 2DS system, all of which have the microphone and touch screen it needs. DS game cards like this one are not region locked.
What is included?
The listing is for the Nintendogs game card itself. A case, manual or other inserts are included only if the listing title says so. Any save data left on the card by a previous owner is not part of what is listed.
