Random: Man Rescues "Abandoned" Nintendogs, Becomes Viral Sensation On TikTok

I sometimes regret trading in my copy of Nintendogs: Labrador and Friends. It was beautifully executed on the humble DS, but I figured it had lost its novelty. I still have Nintendogs + Cats on 3DS though (that I definitely do not intend to get rid of).

I did get an almost free copy of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars out of it though, so it wasn't all bad.

Reminds me of the time I found a copy of sonic rush 2 on my cousin’s yard.

What a weird find lol.

Vert sad really.

I've never lost a game cartridge on a train before but this is a lovely story, hopefully he's able to find the original owner. Oh also I don't think I've seen green before for a page, at least I don't think I have.

@RubyCarbuncle : Each console has its own colour scheme throughout the site (well, the more recent consoles anyway), and naturally, the green for the DS is not used as often anymore.

This makes me hope they do a Switch Nintendogs. I mean really why not??!!

@Silly_G Ahh. I originally joined in 2013 so I guess that explains it.

@Zach : I think the lack of camera and particularly the microphone on the Switch have effectively forced Nintendo to put the IP on hold, as vocal interactions were a key mechanic in both games so far.

I suppose Nintendo could have bundled a purpose-built Joy-Con with an in-built camera and microphone, but this wouldn’t have resolved the issue with the Switch Lite, as Nintendogs has always been, by and large, a portable experience. StreetPass also encouraged players to take their digital pups on real-life walks, and potentially receive data from other players.

In any case, I just hope we don’t lose Nintendogs to mobile as I’m not going to support a F2P model.

I lost a game ont he side of the road. Thankfully someone found it, I lost it around a friend's house.. but it had definelty been run over by cars or something, and when I put it in the system it didn't work.

Id love a new nintendogs it was my favourite game for the ds

I lost my copy of Pokemon Gold on a plane to Turkey. It was like losing 200+ puppies!!

@TechaNinja Tiktok is amazing and perfect for people with ADHD like myself. I can just scroll for hours on end

I never lost a game I believe but I did lose my YuGiOh cards once. I think they were stolen by one of my "friends" at the time though because I never took them out of my house but suddenly they were just gone.

Gaming wise I don't recall ever really losing anything. Aside from, y'know, losing matches or lives or coins or whatever.

I hear so many stories about people losing their DS cards.

I can't believe this man exploited those poor dogs for fame and fortune on tiktok.

@Tasuki Did you perhaps leave it on a train on the London Underground Railway Network?

Haven't lost a cartridge, but my ex girlfriend did steal all my DS cartridges 😢

@Tasuki been on a train lately?

Oh okay. I wish him good luck. Losing a game cartridge sucks.

Once found a Mario vs Sonic London cart. Not too bad a game. However I did have Nintendogs+Cats on one of those old EZ Flash DS flashcarts; you know the one...

We have Cooking Mama and Toy Stunt Bike on Switch now, now give us Nintendogs!

I remember randomly finding Mario 64 DS in my parents’ cabinet one day. It wasn’t near to a holiday or my birthday, I just randomly found it. Good thing too, it was a nostalgic pillar and a great game.

I couldn't even volunteer at a shelter without coming home with a truck full of dogs (and possibly a divorce.)

Dogs > People

Spoiler:
He sold all the Doggies on the Black Market for Pit Fights.

I mean if Battersea have found this story they really should auction the cartridge for fundraising

@Zach No microphone, no cameras, no portability (in the sense of closing up the device and walking around with it in your pocket). I'd say it's pointless.
