Nintencats
From a Wired News story on a new video game in which players interact with virtual dogs:
Adorable doggy antics combined with a simple, intuitive interface and lots of things to do make Nintendogs a potential blockbuster.
The game is a follow-up to the disappointing Nintencats, in which players score points by constantly tending to an unappreciative feline. Throw a tennis ball and watch as the cat continues to regard you with disdain. Attempt to trim the cat’s claws while it flails wildly and howls like a demon. And if you forget to clean its box your virtual buddy will let you know by taking a virtual whiz on the carpet. Game-makers remain mystified at the lackluster sales, though they’re hopeful that the sequel "Nintencats: They Shed on Everything" will enjoy greater success.
