Text: "NINTENDOGS: If this is
what happens when Nintendo ventures to new planets in the "interactive
entertainment universe," sign us up to blast off. During the GDC demo,
localization manager Bill Trinen played with a pup, which wowed the crowd with
its independent spirit. When he tried to get the dog to sit (via voice command),
the puppy needed to be cajoled into obeying with lots of petting (via touch) and
a dish of food, which it devoured as if nothing else in the world existed. Only
then did it plunk down its butt and wag its tail. Over a dozen breeds are
planned for the US version, each with its own characteristic traits-we can't
wait until Nintendo unleashes its ambitious creation."
