Cant wait to see what the new Zelda scores in Famitsu. People probably will say it deserved a 39/40 bc of the grass

So is this real or not?
Before I start with this post I want one thing to be clear. I love JackFrost as a friend, and the things I'm saying here in no way intrude upon my manly love for him 
Also please don't forget it's very easy to misunderstand emotions over the intarweb.
That said, Mr.Frost is actually misrepresenting the game.
Not everything is unlocked from the start. I'm not just talking about the items, or even the dogs themselves. But you cannot enter the dogs athletics competition before you have visited the gym. You can't visit the gym until you've improved your dog's stamina. That is that.
The game has competition, scores, community, goals... all of the standard game stuff:
As a dog trainer, you have a score and a rank. Your score improves as you get better at handling dogs (mine is about 800 at the moment, I think). Your dogs also have a score in the dog contests, but that's a separate beast and not the main score in the game.
The game has competition and community in similar volumes. Look at the Drinky Puppy Club. We have a growing community of real people playing and chatting about the game, and by god we will compete against each other with our dogs. There are already traces of this showing and only 4 of us are blogging at the moment.
Goals. If you pick up this game, and you play it for a bit, but don't feel the desire to be a good trainer (in game), I question your gaming heart. This game propels your desire to succeed with the cutest dogs you can imagine. Just when you think you're mastering one, you get enough money to buy a second, and you meet a whole new perspective. Jack said these dogs are all the same - that's NOT true. They all have unique characters and characteristics. You'll see!
Comparisons to Dogz are valid, so I will add my 2 cents to that. The dogs in Nintendogs are some of the cutest in-game dogs you will ever see. They are modelled on real dogs and have realistic motion capture. They interact with you and respond to both voice and touch. I don't know if recent versions of Dogz feature voice control, but the first release (which I played) did not. The dogs in Nintendogs are also three-dimensional. They roll around; they shove their butt in your face. They want to be loved.
I AM hyping the game, I will admit that, but I am loving it to bits and I just wanted to clear up a couple of misconceptions that JackFrost seems to be passing on to people.

I can only imagine the meltdown after the Nintendo press conference at E3.

What, they're going to announce Kittendo, Mousendo and Birdendo and at that same press conference Famitsu is going to announce they've pre-emptively given all those games a 42/40?
fake, huh? no matter -- lets turn this thread into a discussion of famitsu's real 40/40 travesty: wind waker! i mean, call me a reactionary, but i think a game being fucking unbelievably boring qualifies as a flaw. i mean, doesn't the sheer, soul-crushing tedium of the thing merit a slight deduction? maybe i just can't get over my narrow belief that games should be fun.

And even i am moderately surprised
even if it's fake, some of the reactions in here made my puppy sad.
It's okay, he'll forgive you, it's not his fault he's so EXCELLENT.
Let's face it, this game will sell to ANYONE who see's it.
Personally, like it or not, it's a system mover - even if the score turns out to be fake.
May 6th edition of Famitsu?
wouldn't it like... be in the April 28th editon?
Folder, who gave you the info or was it someone in the thread?
thing is - the dates look correct as we usually get an extended golden week edition (i mean the May 2nd to May 15th)

Think of the money they'd make with Mario Pets. Raise your own Koopas, Shy Guys, Pirahna Plants, Birdos, etc.
Most of the Famitsu 40 point scores went to games that didn't deserve the, um, honor. Soul Calibur and Wind Waker are especially dodgy picks, though I like both games.

If that's a fake scan it's a pretty damn good one, probably the best "fake" magazine scan I've ever seen.
Catchpenny said:
Man, Mario Pets! That'd probably be really neat, actually!
But it would need to have added a lot. Death by old age, Breeding, A passable geneology, tons of challenges that take actual skill rather than monotonous repeating of commands so that your pet understands you. And i think it would be rather awesome if the items you obtain actually did benefit you in some way other than making you excessively cute. Like if a Koopa got a tap hat, it'd totally get +2 Defense for the Koopa Battle Arena!
Some people on this exhilirating ride called to the world wide web need to get over their huge bloated internet ego's. Your an internet personality nothing more nothing less. Nobody here is the final authority on anything even partially opinionated semantics because if you were you wouldn't waste your time on a damn gaming forum who's running MO is "* Blank* Am Cry!". I really like this place but it would be a lot better if most people realize that GAF is 10% news 90% entertainment.
The folks who swore they were the law on exactly what the official boundaries of a game were are especially bloated. A game can simply be defined with the minimal amount of barriers and conditions as to not limit or confine the medium of potential expansion or innovation. 2 words.....Play........and Entertainment. If you play something for entertainment then the action itself is the game. I play with my dog for entertainment therefore I am participating upon a game with my dog being the medium. It's quite simple actually. Playing instruments for entertainment is probably the only exception.

If this title takes off, just imagine all of the other titles following in its footsteps that will surely fill up the DS' software lineup... Were the Dogz & Catz series popular in Japan, too? I still can't believe a title of this nature could get such a score...it'll be interesting to see how the sales stack up to the reviews.

I hear Nintendwhores is next, four different versions will be made availible -- Blonde, Brunette, Red Head, and Exotic.
Bebpo said:I hate them too
I dunno, I've never wanted a pet in real life so why would I want a virtual one on my DS? I really think the game's audience is limited to people who like animals and enjoy pets.
Well, i would think people who like ANIMALS and PETS is a vast freakin' audience :lol
Haha, to be straight, I'm not interested in Nintendogs either as i'm sure a few ppl can tell you. I've always hated tamagotchi's and I own an actual real pet, so I have no desire to relive such a thing on my handhelds.

Do they ride bikes? I'll bet even the DS hardware could produce better looking breasts than those in BMX XXX.

You're right, I don't like Nintendo!
...oh wait, the Fire Emblem that's taking up all my time and my current favorite handheld game of Kirby DS are telling me otherwise ^^; Hmm I wonder if I can find a way to hate Nintendo while still loving the heck out of their good games, any suggestions?
To the people comparing this to the sims, catz or dogz...I would like to remind that the same happened between DOshin and Black & White just that in a opposite way...
One was considered an awesome game and the other was underrated...
Games can treat similar concepts in a different way...I think nintendogs is an improvement over the old Hey You Pikatchu. Not saying it deserves a 40/40 but well...A 32 would had been enough.

Someone asked about Voice Recognition in Catz /Dogz ... yes they both have voice recognition...it's been in since version 4 I think. That's since October of 1999.
EDIT: This is weird... voice recognition was in 4, but I can't find any mention of it in 5...
OMG there's another game in the series now with voice recognition...Babyz!

There are more than half a dozen related threads in 2ch, so it shouldn't be that hard to find out if it's fake:
