Weve all wondered it since Nintendo first showed off Nintendogs…will there be a Nintendcats? Its sounds like it just might happen. In fact, with the success of Nintendogs Id be totally astounded if it didnt.
Eurogamer: So, er, Nintencats is a real possibility then?
Hideki Konno: To tell the truth, we were already starting to develop a cat-based game at the outset of this project. So we already have the cat models, voice data and so on.











ewwww, what can you do with a cat? It doesn’t respond to you, it those what it wants when it wants. the only time he’ll come to you is when it wants to be pet, oh btw i don’t like cats

Curses… I just got my Nintendogs last night…
But yeah… cats really don’t interact with you much… only if they want to, and they sleep all the time :/
I love cats, but a realistic cat sim would suck unless they make it really good.

Not Nintencats…
Kittendo!

I’ll admit that I’m more of a “cat person” than a “dog person”, but I think that in terms of gameplay, a cat simulator wouldn’t be all that much fun. Watch your virtual cat sleep in the sunbeam all day! Clean the litterbox! Watch him lick himself! etc…

darn they should have mixed the 2 cats and dogs…just 2 see wht would happen…

Hey, Nintendogs isn’t a dog simulator, so this wouldn’t be a cat simulator! They’d make sure that this one is fun too. Enough with the cat-hating.
Nice box mockup too. ^^ They got the style perfect. Who did that, or where’d ya find it?

Personally, I think it would be more cool to expand the Nintendog technology into a virtual zoo keeper type game. That would be cool.
P.S - You should change your banner so that the iguana is mauling link.
Just for a couple of days.

Glad I didn’t pay for some slobbering mangy mutt.

Kittens, man. Kittens are social as all crazy-social-animals. Cats, I would agree on–full-grown cats, that is. But kittens love to play around with EVERYTHING. Even my full-grown cats still chase each other around from time to time. And run into walls.
Cats aren’t as anti-social as people seem to think.

The game should have a tilt sensor, to make the cat toys more fun than just ‘touching’…. as well as…. A RUMBLE FEATURE for purring!!!
Matt - 08.23.05 2:25 pm
This might work okay. But…I dunno…I do like cats more than dogs, though.
“darn they should have mixed the 2 cats and dogs…just 2 see wht would happen…”
Omfg, I bet theyd have sex rofl

Yeah Realy they should name it “Kittendo” and im a cat lover but dont realy know what they could do 2 spice up a cat sim well may be mouse hunntin and messing with them with stuff lol but a cat show lol come on no disk comps here lmao

Nintencats isn’t as catchy. How about Kittendo? Or Famicats, even better.

Finally, some love for us people who don’t like slobber on my crotch.
Moogle832 - 08.23.05 11:23 pm
Nintendo, GIVE US KITTENDO! Or Famicats… whichever.
lol @ the idea of a rumble for purring. That would be adorable
As the person above said, kittens are very fun and active, not to mention 10 times more adorable and tiny than puppies IMHO
The only problem I can see is that the breeds wouldn’t look as noticeably different in appearance and stature as the various dog breeds out there, so they’d have to get some really bizarre and different breeds in order to differentiate them (i.e. Sphynx, the hairless wonder! Perhaps a Cornish Rex, the curly-haired cat… and a Scottish Fold, with folded ears! And Munchkins, the cats with short legs like a dachsund). As for normal breeds, I would like to see a good balance between long and short-haired breeds, as well as breeds with striking fur/eye-color differences (I’m thinking Siamese with their bright blue eyes, long muzzle, short-hair coat and tell-tale markings vs. perhaps Maine Coone with signature VERY long, fluffy coat and green/gold eyes, or a Himalayan with the more scrunched face, etc).
Wow, that was a long post. Haha. I just love kitties so much and I’d love a kittie game to complement Nintendogs.
Pikachelsea - 08.24.05 12:47 am
I wuvv kitties. They can name is, Nittens too ^^
I’ll buy this straight away, just to see the little kitties..
Krono6 - 08.24.05 5:12 am
As much as I love cats and think that they are ten times as cute as dogs, they can be way too self-independant for a Tamagotchi-esque game. They even clean up after themselves.
zooba - 08.24.05 4:38 pm
NINTENDogs.
caTENDO?
Yaanu - 08.24.05 7:55 pm
Even though I like cats better than dogs, I’m not so sure this is a good idea.My question is where would you go to get cats? The dumpstern behind your house?
Luigi7667 - 08.27.05 12:01 pm
Wow. The ads can have a purring DS perched on some sleeping guys’ face. I can see time-of-day playing a large part of.. well.. playing. Meh, no shedding at least.
*misses his cat*

Why can’t they do something more interesting and unable to be replicated at home like Nintentigers?
Smif - 08.28.05 7:22 pm
