Nintendogs
Dogs are fun, but they’re also extremely expensive. If you don’t have the time to go to the dog park to play with strangers’ dogs, Nintendogs was the next best thing. It took the fun of watching an animal grow and created a brilliant psychological effect that made gamers proud of their digital pets, attracting a level of compulsion and engagement for kids not seen since the age of Tamagotchi.
The series received two new versions in 2011, but that isn’t enough to attract tons of new gamers. This series needs a hard reboot, with massive amounts of content offering dozens of different breeds of dogs. The Switch offers a great platform for a new game in the series with tons of content.
Nintendogs is the game children played, loved, and still remember very well even more than a decade later. We’re also all horribly terrified of how much our Nintendogs must hate us having neglected them for over a decade.
