My first Nintendo 3DS Game was Nintendogs + Cats Toy Poodle and New Friends haha. It came as a bundle deal with my Pearl Pink system. Honestly, I did enjoy the game for a good bit! Although I was younger when I first got my system and it was my first game so the hype of having the system and the hype of having the game might have made it more fun than it really was. It isn't bad, by any means. If you like pet simulation games than this is totally a good game to get. Just beware the fact that in runs on real time. And you can't fool this game as easily as ACNL into thinking a day has gone passed lol. You can, but it's a bit of a hassle involving closing the game, changing the system clock, reopening the game, and I think you have to close it once more and then you can play it. It's a bit disappointing, to tell you the truth. You are pretty limited in what you can do in a day. I think it's only what, two or three competitions you can do, and you can either only teach three tricks in total, or three per pet a day. You can sit around and feed them, bathe them, walk them, or play with them all day long but that gets boring. Also doing competitions is your main way of getting money so when that's cut short it's a bit sad. This is definitely a game you are only met to play for a half hour or so a day. I think it's only like 15 bucks or so in the eShop and I think that is a great price for what it is. I think it's a nice looking game, the animals are all adorable, and it works fine. Although training puppies can be a bit hard because of voice commands. I hate voice commands lol.
