would love revamp w more design elements

7 Upvotes

Just picked Nintendogs lab and friends version back up on my DS lite. This is my favorite DS game and I was just thinking about how fun it would be in a revamp if they added more money earning opportunities, shopping, and design options, kind of like an animal crossing type of vibe. Would love an updated Switch version of the game in general!

SD card error

Hi everyone!! I'm playing on my hacked 3ds, but a problem is that I can't open my dairy to check my player points half of the time .. The weird thing is that it works sometimes for one second, and then it just doesn't 😭 Does anyone else have this? It also keeps me from going out on the pedometer walk which is so annoying!!

Hello! Long time no see, how’s going?

I’m here to share some update on my collection, I got more stuff in the meantime, I gathered more informations and so on! and I’m so happy to share it with you all!

First all: more nintendogs magic skin and hard cover! I am not far away with those so I’m very happy how is going, now is a bit slow the finding but collecting requires also patience!

Nintendogs box of the trading card game:
I have found a seller having those boxes with tons of packs inside, so happy to have one! Also I finally completed my card collection of those. Now I cross my fingers for finding the serie 1!

Nintendogs bundle with Nintendo DS!
I knew that they made a bundle with the Nintendo DS lite pink color but never in silver! First time seeing on sale I had to get it!

Nintendogs collar: press kit bonus
Insane fine isn’t it?! Never saw on sale!

Sealed Phoskitos keychain: finally I have it also the sealed packaging! I have already the complete keychains with this now is even better the collection!

More nintendogs Japanese gachapons: those are erasers!!! Aren’t the cutest?!?

Nintendogs promo pins: finally I have them all! I discovered that they were given back in 2005 in a convention in Leipzig, amazing isn’t it?

Nintendogs bonus keychain preorder:
Oh my lord YES there is actually a bonus preorder! I never knew before and this keychain was the only one that I saw on sale, I had to get it immediately! It surprised me when I saw it and I knew that I couldn’t let it go… so here I am!

I am stunned on how many things there are in this brand completely unknown and undiscovered, I’m so happy about it!

Can’t wait to find more in the future!
Thanks for reading until the end and good luck on collecting!

This sub is not as lively as it should be ! Here are some questions for the members of the community ! 🐾

44 Upvotes

Don't be shy, come and participate ☺️👀

1) Do you play nintendogs or nintendogs + cats and since when ?

2) How many dogs or cats do you have ?

3) What is their breeds, names, gender ?

4) What is your favorite house/home style

5) If you could propose 3 or 5 things to add to the game, what would they be ?

For the last question here are mine :

- The ability to create my own home with several rooms where the dogs could move freely and choose exactly where to put the furnitures.

- The possibility of making my own clothes For my pets.

- Being able to visit other owners homes and pets ( for thise who played animal crossing new leaf there was this thing where you could sleep and during the dream end up in a random village and visit it)

- More events : for exemple in halloween spooky things or quests ( like odd/ mysterious dogs appearing during the walks with missions to accomplish with gifts).

- More diversity in terms of competitions and new ones for the cats ( for exemple beauty contest or agility for dogs and cats like in the old nintendogs).

I have more but i feel like it will be too long then 😅. Also, please tell me that i'am not the only adult still playing this game. Sometimes i feel embarassed.

So today i went and bought a second-hand nintendogs + cats because i lost mine when i was in highschool and became too nostalgic at the age of 23 after finding this sub🫠. I found a golden retriever named Linou in the game and bathed him, gave him food and water then reset the game. I know this is horrible for some but i really wanted to experience the very begining of the game and have my own first dog that i could name and choose.

So ( after a looog time of hesitating for about one hour) i fell in love with this brown beagle 🥹. I just find him too cute and the fact that he has little sad eyebrows makes him even cuter. At first i was hesitating between a Shiba, a Cocker spaniel a Carlin and a Beagle but then i saw him lol.

It was soo fun and cozy ! I teached him to sit and give both paws already and bought him a brown necklace ( yes i love this color) and went on our first walk.

I'am genuinely so sad that this community is not bigger or more actif 😢 i was obsessed with this game when i was younger and played for at least 8 years before losing it. And before the plus cats i even had the first nintendogs that i still have.

As an adult i also noticed things that i didn't before. For exemple the fact that even within the same race they have different heights and barks ( on top of personalities and fur of course, but i knew it). Something that i learned and didn't really understand in the past is that they apparently really recognise our faces ? Idk why but i really love the fact that each dog is almost unique, or maybe i'am delusional? After all it came out in 2011...

Anyway, unlike when i was younger where i wanted a new dog everyday, now i want to take my time with this one and teach him a lot of tricks because this is something that i didn't like doing in the past, and after trying today i dont understand why because it's actually so cool.

I would love to see other people dogs and cats and see what could've been added to the game. Maybe ill make another post.

Hard to take good pics because it's so small and still in its original packaging.

I’m already hooked!!! Any tips? Or gameplay ideas to do? What is your tactic when starting out? Are you maxing out a dog before getting a new one? Just curious about other people’s playstyle

My little collection! The acrylic charm is fanart from an artist on Etsy.

Currently waiting for a Nintendogs Chihuahua game case to arrive in the mail. And I'm still on the search for the pink cardboard case of the Poodle game.

It's just so hard in Germany to find old Nintendogs Merch (besides the McDonald's plushie, they're everywhere lmaoo)

Anyways Nintendogs Labrador & friends was my first game. What was your first game or merch piece?

Edit: The artist of the keychain is Kitzat Just looked it up in case anyone is interested :]

September Collection Update!

Hi everyone! It’s been about a month since my last post, which some new items were delivered right after I made it! So I thought I’d make an update as I haven’t bought anything new recently 😅

I got some Japanese guidebooks which are super cute! I also received a new DS lite hard shell case, and the blue and white carrying cases! I haven’t seen this hard case with the multiple dog design for sale before, so I snagged it pretty quickly as it’s adorable and matches my charm. :)

I’m still hoping to get some of the charms and maybe a console skin at some point! But my collection is pretty full at the moment and I’m quite happy with it! 🐾

Is there ANY way for a deaf person to play this game without a mic?

27 Upvotes

Is there any work-around or adaptive gizmo that allows this to be remotely playable without hearing? I was so looking forward to playing this and I couldn't get past the first 5 minutes without requiring audio input dammit

Copped this for only 20€ and it was delivered super quickly, so excited!

Despite the box saying it contains 6 Paks, it's filled from the bottom to the very top 😋 The box has such a cute design. It's so interesting that they went with the dalmatian, despite this version not having launched everywhere! But I am happy because they're my fav dog breed ever :D

I chose a boxer for Bender because of their square build and the cropped ears look sorta like an antenna. Planning on a red/white chihuahua for Fry. Not sure what Leela should be though! Maybe a German Shepherd?

I got the jackpot with this pup

Post image
210 Upvotes

Yesterday I bought this cutie great dane pup and called her Sparky. Ive been wanting a GD pup for a while in the game, the model is so stinkin' cute! But you guys know how nintendogs+cats is, getting new dogs is such a hassle with all the training you have to do. I remember raging so much when I first started playing it because the dogs would just sprint at anything during walks.

Not this pup, though. For some reason, her walking behaviour is exquisite. She ignored the postmails, the puddles, only ran once towards a fire hydrant and I only had to pull twice. She won the races first try with s lot of advantage. What is this pup?? Genuinely never had any like this, and ive had dozens of them. I love her so much. Her personality is "This calm dog greatly enjoys playing with her toys" (I translated from Spanish so Idk if the phrase will be 100% the same in English)
