I think certain aspects of Nintendogs wouldn't work too well on Wii, while certain ones would be much enhanced.

Worse:
-Petting your dog or touching it in any way: part of the joy of the game on DS is physically 'touching' the dog. Having it 'lick' your finger. Pointing would not have the same effect.
-Only people with WiiSpeak could do voice commands, the original game's most defining feature. However, it's possible they could bundle the two like with Animal Crossing.

Better:
-Pretty much everything else.
-Throwing a frisbee or ball will be amazing with Wii Motion+ (as we've already seen)
-Holding up a treat and watching them beg before you toss it would be really cute.
-The Wii's 'somewhat' improved online system over the DS could allow online dog shows, playing with other peoples' dogs online, etc. They could also include a screenshot function, as dog owners tend to love taking pictures of them.
-Graphics. The DS already has some of the most realistic-looking and best-animated dogs in gaming, so imagine what they could look like on Wii.

Having a real dog is much more fun.

 

 

Thanks for that.  I didn't realize that a real pet is more fun than a virtual one.

 

In fact, you've just opened up a whole new world for me.  Playing real hockey is more fun than playing NHL.  Actually wrestling is more fun than playing a TNA game.  Really shooting someone in the face is more fun than.... wait.... I'm completely missing the point and being a fanboy, aren't I?
