NoE Watch points out that one of the UK's largest retailers, Game, is now listing a new version of Nintendogs on their website. Nintendogs: Dalmation & Friends is now up for pre-order and presumably has that elusive spotted puppy (favored by Mr. Miyamoto) unlocked right from the start. With Nintendogs being a massive success in Europe and selling over 2 million copies, it makes sense that Nintendo would aim to grab some more cash from the people that simply can't get enough of obscenely cute polygonal puppies.
This does make me wonder--how many of you are still tending to their virtual puppies? I left mine to rot in his cartridge kennel a long time ago.
