Pet Revolution - In Stores Now!

Ample amounts of money spent on pet food, supplies, and toys? Never again. Designated time and constant attention? Unnecessary. A closet full of leashes, doggy bags, and miscellaneous pet toys? Not any more. That’s right, it’s a pet revolution!

The incorporation of advanced simulation technology allows millions of pet lovers to play, interact, and communicate with their ultimate virtual pet companion - without the poop. An effective combination of wireless framework, touch screen interfaces, and voice recognition microphones makes it happen.

Nintendo’s DS games incorporate such technology for a stimulating, virtual experience. Puppy love is brought to life with the cute and fluffy game that’s become its own phenomenon, Nintendogs. This is the type of game that deceivingly attracts a broad audience from the squealing sweet sixteen year-olds to their older brothers (who play when no one is looking). One walk around the block with your pup and you’re hooked.

Nintendogs’ clever simulation allows you to teach and train your pup as you would a real dog. With various repetition and reward techniques, your pup can grow into an obedient and compassionate dog. The tricks range from a standard “sit” to an advanced “breakdance” command. Along with the many trick possibilities, you can enjoy the neighborhood park to pick up goodies, make friends, and even enemies along the way. Oh, and after an exciting, yet dirty, day at the park you can scrub your pup down in a bubble bath and then brush out his fur until he is squeaky clean.

Similarly, DS’s Horse Life requires you to interact with your pet horse through vigorous training, attentive caring, and daily loving. The healthier and happier your horse is, the better your chances of international fame and luxurious fortune, and the less angry the senile horse trainer will be.

If that isn’t enough, in My Pet Dolphin you can directly interact with your very own–shock–pet dolphin! (Because everyone wants a pet dolphin now-a-days.) Interactions include various ball games, feeding them, and stroking their heads with soothing love. The dolphins will react either positively or negatively, depending on how well you communicate with them.

Yet again, Nintendo creates unique games that take advantage of modern simulation technology from speaking to your pet, blowing bubbles for him to play with, and rubbing his head with love. The touching and interactive experience is successfully brought to life, even if it’s via stylus and screen. Fur is overrated.
