Random: Turns Out Super Mario Odyssey's Dog Started Its Career As A Nintendogs Star

(gives gentle pet)

Nintendogs is part of the Mario canon now.

@Morpheel Well they do have thier hats in the games.

I thought that as soon as I saw him.

Hmm. Is this really some sort of profound new discovery? I mean, I thought it was incredibly obvious that it was a Nintendog from the very first second I laid my eyes upon him.

Slow news day Nintendolife?

@USWITCH64 The in-depth report on the Yemen conflict is on the website on the other side of the road, easy mistake.

@neufel oh OK thanks for the heads up. Seems like Saudi Arabia are bombing the crap out of Yemen on a daily basis.

Can't say I'm actually surprised, in fact in makes sense.

Always thought it looked like a Nintendog, cool to see confirmation

The revelation? Wasnt that just glaringly obvious? I never played Nintendogs and the second i saw that dog in Odysee I knew where it was from. Like..really..really obvious.

@andywitmyer yeah said the same thing..it was extremely obvious from the second you meet that dog.

I wish there was a way to pet him. But it’s fun just to jump on him.

Ah, so many quality games on the Switch. If nothing else this article has reminded me to dust down Odyssey and give it another go. Cracking game.

Every time I read an article about Super Mario Odyssey I am reminded of how little I actually accomplished in the game, besides beating the main story that is. I really have to get back to this game sometime, at the very least for getting the collect-athon craving in me satisfied.

I've no idea why some people comment on these stories, with 'slow news day' or 'x reported this last week' or 'isn't this obvious' etc.

Go and find something more constructive to do with you time.

Pretty decent promotion IMO.

Wait I thought this was obvious to everyone. o.o;

This was so obvious that if I am not mistaken they also have the same animations and sound. I noticed as much being someone that never owned Nintendogs, just did the demo a try once or twice.

I loved this doggo! I sat for an hour just to get a good shot of him.

He protecc
He snacc
he watches Mario's bacc

Welp that means the tech demo for Nintendogs is out of the way, we should hear about a game next e3 lololol.

Are there people who didn't already know this? It's not even subtle.

@MasterHiggins Shibu-life

Nice little shout out to another franchise. Still kinda surprised Nintendo hasn't revived that series in any way.

Thanks for featuring me! And, for those wondering about this lovely lil dog's hat, his hat is a separate model in the code, named "ShibakenCap.szs".

TIL that you can post something on Twitter that is glaringly obvious and that most everyone already realized, and you will somehow be credited with some profound discovery.

I knew it all along

I like this story! I hadn't noticed.. Thank you

Doesn't surprise me one bit.

I love how Nintendo always easter eggs other games. They never forget their past.

I gotta love that easter egg ever sense i saw that dog i knew the easter egg
