Forums - Nintendo Discussion - How Big Would Nintendogs On iOS/Android Be?

 

Not really my type of "game", but I was wondering about this ... how big could Nintendogs + cats be on mobile? And how would it work?

Free 2 Start I guess with one puppy breed and one kitten breed? Then you pay for other types of puppies and kittens? Man, Nintendo could really kill it with this, especially on iOS I think. 

The graphics could probably be pretty good too, modern smartphones have more horsepower than a Vita (which is basically an iPhone 5 chip I believe), which is beyond a 3DS, so they could make the dog and cat models even more realistic. It could look quite nice on those HD smartphone displays. 

What competetion is Nintendo look at here, are there other good dog/cat sims on mobile? Is the Nintendogs idea too outdated today?

Not very. Not really a market for pet sims anymore.

Was there ever though? For some reason though I can see a lot of women potentially downloading this. Especially if its free to start.

Yeah, when the first Nintendogs came out, and people bought DSs for it. Than it died out, like fads do. Loved Nintendogs, but I don't know how much faith I have in it pulling a revival. Even if it was free.



I never actually had Nintendogs on either DS or 3DS, but that's partly owing to having a real dog, I'd feel pretty guilty playing with a virtual dog and leaving my real dog unattended, lol. I did play it for about 45 minutes at a friend's house back in the day. If it's free on iOS/Android to start, I'll check it out.

It would probably do very well, I have a game on my phone for my toddler called Wash Pets......all u do is wash pets and it has over 10 million downloads on Google Play Store.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

the real question is, how will Nintendo inflate the numbers without bundling?

Make a deal with Apple to have it pre-installed?

It'd do fairly well I suppose. The Nintendo name has the potential to go a long way.
