Nintendogs: It's more fun than a real pet!

[big guy]

Now, on the outside this looks rather pedestrian, but I have to say, it's not fun in the traditional sense that a videogame is, but it is fun because you're playing with dogs! I was totally enthralled just petting and scratching the chiwawa puppy... it's so terribly cute... and the behaviors of the dogs are so realistic. If you show one of them attention, the others may leap at you to share the love. If you sit idle, they'll wrestle each other or chase each other. You can throw them the soccer ball and they'll bounce it around, sometimes off of their heads.

It's hard to understand just what the draw is without playing it, so look around in stores and find yourself a demo and prepare to lose track of time.
