Nintendogs
Handheld pet simulator
Nintendogs is a Nintendo DS video game series where players raise and care for virtual puppies—feeding, walking, training, and playing with them.
The game uses the handheld's touchscreen and microphone to simulate pet ownership, responding to petting motions and voice commands.
I spent hours teaching my Nintendog to sit.
