NINTENDOGS + CATS: GOLDEN RETRIEVER & NEW FRIENDS (NINTENDO 3DS)

Nintendogs + Cats is a real-time pet simulator featuring several popular breeds of puppies and kittens. The game allows the player to interact with a virtual pet by speaking commands into the microphone and simulating physical actions with the touch screen. Pets also react to a familiar face through the use of the system's camera, allowing your pets to react to your presence and return. Some tasks will include fulfilling daily pet ownership responsibilities such as feeding your pets, walking your pets, and showing them affection. There are also several toys that can be purchased for your pet that allow for all types of play such as Frisbee, tug of war, and fetching the ball. There are several commands and tricks to teach your pet, which if performed successfully, can lead to a trophy in one of the canine competitions accessible later in the game. Other new features found in this game over the previous Nintendo DS incarnation include the ability to take 3D photos of your pets, and much improved networking and communication features that allow you to meet other virtual pets in the neighborhood.

The Golden Retriever (Shiba in Japan) version of the game contains the following dog breeds:
Golden retriever
shiba
beagle
miniature pinscher
Dachshund
Maltese
Pug
Great Dane
Cocker
Additionally, the game includes three types of cats; Siamese, standard and long-haired cat. Cats interact less with player commands and do their own thing compared to dogs' more obedient behavior.
