Hello Player 1

The commercials for Nintendogs may not be that great, but they are playing so frequently that you cant miss them. I was playing my DS at school yesterday and I had non-gamers asking if I was going to buy it.
Nintendo is certainly getting to word out about the game and everyone seems eager to cover it, even those outlets that dont normally cover games. Check out this shot that Kamalot sent me of a man reading the Washington Post Express article about the game.
Its almost as if Nintendo is better at marketing the strange little games than they are at marketing the more high profile, more likely to be accepted by mainstream audiences, games like Metroid Prime 2. Still, you cant deny the appeal of Nintendogs and its something that everyone can appreciate, even if they dont normally play or ‘get’ video games.
