Nintendogs, created in 2005, is a real time pet simulation game for Nintendo DS that has impacted many lives. This game has shown children of all ages how to care for and love a dog. Ultimately, this is also the game which shaped the childhood of thousands of children all across the globe.

However, it is now many years later in 2020 and old Nintendo DS devices have become lost or forgotten, along with the once beloved game Nintendogs. More and more people are missing their childhood best friends. It is our view that today’s children deserve the same happiness we received through interacting with these pets, and many older people who played the games when first released deserve a nostalgic escape from the hectic nature of every day life. 

Imagine a world where you could play this game again but as a mobile app on your Apple or Android device and receive notifications when you need to tend to your dogs. There are many ‘own and train a pet’ type games out there that you can download onto your phone, but none are quite like Nintendogs!

Purchase a virtual dog of your choice out of the different breeds available! Name him/her! Feed, bathe, brush, walk, train, and interact with your new adopted dog. Interact with other dog owners in the mobile version of ‘Bark Mode’ and have play dates! Love and care for your own pet! 

There is a LOT of potential when it comes to the idea of Nintendogs on mobile. This game would make an excellent mobile app because it is something that will appeal to everyone, both old and new users, while still having that special Nintendo touch to it that other virtual pet games don’t have. The touch interface and the fact that you can only perform certain tasks once per day are perfect for the format. Sign this petition for Nintendo to recreate the iconic Nintendogs as an app for Apple and Android. Help make young hearts happy once again!
