THIS IS A REVIEW FOR ALL THREE VERSIONS ON NINTENDOGS+CATS

First, I would like to clarify that this is NOT an cat game and it's mainly dogs. The cats are "unlockable" after you've showed to the game that you are responsible enough to take care of you dog(s). The cats are a lot harder to "get close to" but they requires much less cares and attentions. It dosen't matter which version you get, you're going to get the same cats.

Why did I made a review for all three versions? Well, because THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE!!! REALLY!!! All dogs and cats are unlockable in each games. The only "difference" is the items that are avalible in the games (meaning different colors). However, you can get the items via "street passing" with other players. ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW IS WHICH DOG YOU'RE GETTING FIRST.

The toys in this game really shows off the 3d effect here (EX: freesbie, boomerang, helicopters). The dogs in 3d are ADORABLE! This game may seems easy, but a deep strategy game is hidden under the paws (not literatly). For example, you might be surprised how much better your dog can do with proper training and a good night sleep. I would like to point out that where you're petting your dog really matters (DO NOT MESS WITH THEIR TAILS!!!), they bites. 0_0

This game make people smiles, and just when you think you're done with the game... A NEW ITEM POPS UP! (hint: mario kart ;D and mario house)

5.0 out of 5 stars Nintendo Dogs + Cats: French bulldog 3ds game - Fun! :D April 5, 2011

Hello I'm an autistic adult gamer.

This is my review on Nintendo Dogs + Cats 3ds game.

Well I like it. I must say after playing the first nintendo dogs ds game back on the ds lite & was not real thrilled with it for reason's which I'm not going to get into I was hesitant to try the new 3ds version with added stuff. This is my first 3ds game & so far I really enjoy it. The game is very relaxing & cutesy. The doggy's look very real in the video game I was surprised at the graphic's in this game at just how sharp & clear they are on the game. I have a french bulldog in the 3ds game which I named Patch he's very cute doggy. Well I really like the game I must say the doggy in the game behave's much better than the real dog I had years ago lol & actually follow's command's. :)

Well if your an animal lover or need time to relax get this 3ds game you'll enjoy it. I know I am.

Happy Gaming! (^_^)

5.0 out of 5 stars The best game EVER March 27, 2011

A Kid's Review

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

This game is the greatest game for the 3ds. No blood, no violence, It's perfect. After you play for a bit, you can unlock all 27 breeds of dog and 3 breeds of cat. This game is about 100 times better then it's origin game nintendogs. What breeds you start out with depends on what version you buy, but otherwise they are all the same, this a great game for all ages, but I would highly recommend it to the 7-12 year old ranges. The best thing about it is the 3d effect. You can keep up to 3 pets at your house at one time and 3 pets at your pet hotel for a total of 6 pets. When you wan't to buy a dog but doing so will exceed your limits, you can always donate one of your pets. Although it won't be available immediately, the ability to adopt cats will be unlocked once you have taken good care of your puppy. Nintendo recreated the cats beautifully because, just like in reality, they just sit around, but they warm up their owners after a while. I would give this game a 5 star rating.
