Nintendogs + Cats: Golden Retriever & New Friends

Virtual pet simulator where you raise and care for dogs and cats using the 3DS touchscreen and microphone. You start with a golden retriever and can unlock breeds like French bulldogs and toy poodles—over 20 total. Daily routine involves feeding, grooming, teaching voice commands, and taking walks. Pets respond to touch and sound, developing distinct behaviors based on how you interact with them. You can enter obedience trials and agility competitions, or just hang out at home teaching tricks. The cats roam independently and show up when they feel like it, unlike the dogs. Progress unlocks new breeds, accessories, and furniture for your home. Works if you're after a low-stakes routine with something that reacts to your attention.
