They won't wake you up in the morning, demanding to be led outside, totally oblivious to weather status or how much sleep you got the night before. No bite marks on furniture, shoes or your favorite videogame system. Nintendo's fresh flea bag sim, developed by Shigeru Miyamoto, barked up a storm in dog-crazy Japan, and this week takes its innovative twist on the virtual pet concept to the US market. Again there's three different versions available: Chihuahua, Dachshund and Lab. All include their canine friends, and while the later replaces the 'Shiba' title, it does include that breed. In fact in addition to more items to collect than the Japanese originals, which pushes the total over 100, the US releases feature three new breeds, Boxer, Golden Retriever and Husky.

Using the voice recognition feature, you can teach your new puppy its name, then a wide variety of tricks such as sit, shaking its tail, "shake paws", or so many more. You can also take a walk to the park and buy a Frisbee on the way, or meet and play with other dogs. When another Nintendogs owner is close by, the NDS will “bark” an alert, inviting owners to connect with one another and allow their pets some interactive playtime together. Don't forget to give your canine buddy a bath every now and then though, nor forget to take a 'doggy bag' with you on those walks. Each version of Nintendogs is in stock and shipping within 24 hours, at just US$ 39.90.
