Virtual pet simulator Nintendogs remains one of Nintendo’s most successful DS titles, but in the years since its release there’s been no hint of a successor – until now.
Talk of a new game in Nintendo’s pet series will be no surprise, but what is interesting is that it seems man’s best friend might make way for cats in the still mysterious follow-up title.
Speaking in a Q&A posted on Nintendo’s Japanese site, translated by Andriasang, Miyamoto admitted that: “Recently, I’ve been caring for cats. That is all.”
A fairly innocuous comment in isolation, but president Saturo Iwata’s following comment, “He just gave a big hint”, suggests the statement was far more meaningful.
