Cool Iike both dogs and cats

Link has a cat in the next Zelda?

It could really be anything. The last time I heard about Miyamoto's love of cats was when the news channel came out.... if you "click" the cat that sits at the top of the screen the loading bar becomes a loading bar of cats.

I want a NintenGirls!
They already made cat caring game for the DS.

Or maybe - just maybe - we'll soon all be touching our pocket pussies with Nintencats.

... o_O
Cat-Mario? A power-up in SMG2? God, I hope so. =P

Captain: It's you !!
CATS: How are you gentlemen !!
CATS: All your base are belong to us.

But I hate cats

Mario has a new suit, A cat suit.

i have always been a cat person i may think of picking this game up but i just hope its not a copy paste from dogs to cats dev

That picture is super cute.

CAts Rules!!

I sense that we will be seeing NintenCats on the Nintendo DS in the near future. I like cats, but I like dogs better.

What we all want to know is what that kitten in the pic is playing.

I'll probably buy this, liked Nintendogs for a while, and I'm more of a cat person.

Cattack!!

We can only hope he's referring to some type of Nintendo-Saturday Night Live team up to produce "Lasercats!: The Video Game" =)

I love that cat in foto, esp the fact it appears to have no ears. Cats FTW.

"Or maybe - just maybe - we'll soon all be touching our pocket pussies with Nintencats."
I don't believe I have a pocket pussy. <.<
It'll probably be Nintencats, but I'm hoping there will be a suit for Samus to wear in Metroid: Other M

@pinta_ vodki
LOL! The funny thing about that is Screwattack did a review of Zerowings today! Anyway, yeah I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo decided to do cats now. If Nintendogs sold really well, then why not to do cats.

I wasn't a big fan of Nintendogs so I'm not exactly interested in this

Alright, I guess cats are cool, but can we get a Nintenmonkeys, please? That's the kind of pet I want to have...

_{Also seconding both Nintengirls and cat-suit Samus...}

Nintendogs vs. Nintencats: Beast Wars

This is the funniest gaming article I've read in a while.
The picture and caption had me cracking up!

Nintendogs was clever because of the NINTENDOgs. This is just stupid, IMO.

Great, now I can get ignored in the virtual world too.

No offence people of the world, but i'm more of a dog person. Once, I went to my moms cousins house and they had a cat that scrached my sisters finger and there was alot of blood. Dogs aren't harmful at all. That's why i'm a dog person.

Gotta love the cat pic! Two meows for "good," one meow for "needs improvement." I'm probably not going to get this, because I got Nintendogs and I hardly play it at all...

Maybe Miyamoto was actually talking about that crazy cat game for Wii, Sukeban Shachou Rena.

Pikmin was created while Miyamoto was caring for his garden. There is NO indication this is going to be a game like Nintendogs. I'm interested in what game comes from this, but I'll bet you it ISN'T a cat version of Nintendogs. I'm sort of surprised that people are saying they'll buy "this game." What game? lol.

Didn't Destructoid report something to the contrary?

@Metal Mario: You're aware that "Nintencats" is just a fan-made term and has about as much official Nintendo grounding as a dodgy Pokémon hack, right? If there is a game, I'm unsure it would actually be called that. Infact, it almost probably won't, they won't want to have to bother with a legal tussle (an undoubtably small one, but an annoyance for the legal team nonetheless) if someone claims to have coined the term before anyone else used it.

I feel as though considering this is Miyamoto this will not be a simple new version of the Nintendo dogs games, I feel as though it could mean anything

Miyamoto secretly dresses up in a catwoman outfit and spanks himself.

Here's hoping for a cat suit in Super Mario Galaxy 2.
It could enhance your jump and make you really quiet (great for sneaking up on baddies!), while giving you a scratch'n'bite attack or something like that. Besides, I think Mario would kinda look cool in it!

They'll probably have a dog suit in there too then.

But if we don't see a cat suit in SMG2, we're probably gonna get a cat of some kind in Zelda Wii. Link might have it as a pet that follows him around normally, but can have control switched to it to get through small spaces or distract enemies or something.

Who knows, there might be a secret cat suit in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, too. You never know...

It could also have something to do with Metroid: Other M, though I'm not sure if ol' Shiggy is actually involved in the development of that.

All this excludes the inevitable Nintencats, of course.

@timp29

Oh that was probably the announcement then, I heard he stopped by Chicken's halloween party and had a little too much punch, if you know what I mean.

I guess it's not a secret anymore now though.

@Feld0: The Zelda idea sounds interesting. The original trailer for Zelda TP featured a pretty heavy emphasis on interaction with the animals of Hyrule, which wasn't featured all that much in the finished game. Might be interesting to see that fleshed out more.

Alternatively, I'm gonna go waay left-field and suggest a WarioWare game based entirely on cats. FEED! STROKE! PLAY! SCRATCH! SLEEP! STALK! FURBALL!

I have absolutely no idea why, but I'd play Nintencats if it were to be released! Though I imagined a name more like 'Nintendogs: Kitten Kaboodle'...

What would also rock is 'A Little Bit of...Nintendogs'. Multiple versions valued at 500-800 Points, each one with three breeds to choose from, plus DSiWare-exclusive content! I'm thinking a new breed in each of the ten versions, one not seen in the retail release; as well as new toys and accessories just so owners of the retail release have a bit of extra incentive to invest! Oh, and maybe a secret 'new' breed (a crossbreed newly recognised as a purebreed)...because I'd love to have a maltalier in Nintendogs that looks like my real puppy Bonnie!
