| | As addictive a game you will ever play Nintendogs is easily one of the most addictive and wholly original games ever made. | | | Nintendogs is packed full of quality throughout and it’s always nice to see something so refreshingly different in a world overwhelmed with FPSs and sports games. | | | Nintendogs captures the essence of puppydom in its adorable stars and genuine charm, but focuses so much on being a cutie that it forgets to be a game. |

| | Nintendogs is also a glorious example of game anthropology at work. | | | Nintendogs is a good game because it has a solid game design, not just because older Japanese women like dogs. | | | For Nintendogs, voice is certainly a fun new control mechanism, but in many ways it is no different than hitting the attack button in the fighting game. |

| | Interview - Nintendogs // Nintendo DS /// Eurogamer |
| | Nintendogs is only part of a range of games which we hope will expand the total gaming population. | | | The first is that we wanted people to start playing Nintendogs from the moment they arrive at the videogame store - in other words, choosing one package from three is the start of the gameplay. | | | Hideki Konno: When we came to choose the main themes of Nintendogs, we decided that the primary entertainment aspect of the game must be communication with the puppies. |

| | The first thing you do is choose a name for the pup, and the game prompts you to begin calling the dog so the game can recognize your voice, and the dog can learn his/her own name. | | | The only real major problem I had with Nintendogs was that when you sleep the DS, the game tends to freeze up and you will lose all unsaved data. | | | There's definitely very little traditional game here, but what Nintendogs offers is warmly amusing, and hits a soft spot in everyone. |

| | If the ingenuity and the uniqueness of a game offering players the opportunity to raise digital dogs isn’t enough, the fact that one can choose which sorts of dogs they want to choose from is definitely a witty marketing scheme. | | | This, again, then depends on whether you go for the original Japanese released games, or, more likely if you are reading this, their American counterparts. | | | Unlike many games, the highly successful Nintendogs comes in many different flavors and forms. |
