its just that most generic gamers have never heard of Dogz or Catz. the best part about those was getting the add on animals off the net. the moose was the best, took up the entire screen as an adult

shouldn't that be the other way around?

It's a good point.

Whilst I can't dismiss Nintendogz as a great game, I feel quite aggreived that the *true* innovators of this genre have been completely eclipsed due to sloppy reviews and publicity.

I mean, I was playing "virtual pet" games on my C64!


There's a lot of 'innovation' that's just not innovative - it's simply preying on the market's ignorance of not knowing anything before newer companys claim they invented it. My latest concern is the Nintendo "virtual console" patent for the Revolution. I hope we don't see a new generation of gamers 5 years thinking that Nintendo invented emulation!

This genre has also been a huge hit in Japan since the GBA's been around. Aside form the Dogz and Catz series, it never really picked up in the english speaking world. You all probably have REAL pets, and don't live in a 3x3 foot apartment. It's understandable why the shelfs of Tokyo are full of this kind of thing.
