No human being can resist the obscenely cute charms
of Nintendogs, undoubtedly the game most worthy of the "DS killer app" label. This fact can easily be
proven by simply taking your DS for a walk down the street and showing the game to any random person you might
encounter. The universal reaction? "Awww! Puppies are the bestest!"
A word of warning: Should you encounter a person that does not react in the abovementioned way (perhaps they shrug or stare at you blankly), know that you are dealing with either a homicidal maniac bent on seperating you from your vital organs or a robot that, due to a freak time-travel accident, is wandering your neighborhood in search of its toaster father. Running would be a very good option at this point, as would reiterating that the New York Times, USA Today, Parade and Time Magazine (of particular interest to the robot) have all heaped praise on Nintendogs and its lifelike puppies. Other notable appearances in the media include:
- PC World: 2006 Innovation Award
- Associated Press: Best Game of 2005
- BusinessWeek: featured on Best Products
- Entertainment Weekly: featured on The Must List
- Chicago Sun Times: featured on the Game Of The Year list
