With the success of Nintendogs, you knew other puppy sim type games were boubnd to start popping up. The other day, 0~3 entertainment announced their own Pocket Dogs for the Game Boy Advance (Click Here for the preview). And today, Ubisoft one-ups them with an announcement of a new Dogz, also for the GBA. While Pocket Dogs was announced first, Dogz is scheduled to ship first, so we guess they do indeed take the all-important "first puppy simulation game to be available exclusively for Nintendo's Game Boy Advance" title. To be fair, Dogz for the Game Boy Color was actually the original Game Boy puppy sim, pre-dating Nintendogs by quite a few years. Dogz is a pet simulation game that lets owners name, train and play with a realistic puppy. Players create and control a main character and choose one of 49 different dogs from 18 different breeds. As characters in the game, owners can take their puppies everywhere within the virtual environment, from through the house to around the neighborhood to visit friends.
Gamers will earn their puppy's love and loyalty by remembering to feed and groom it and reward it when it does things correctly. Owners can train the puppy to lie down, shake, fetch and perform many other tricks. "Ubisoft is pleased to bring such a unique puppy simulation game to the millions of Game Boy Advance owners around the world," said Tony Kee, vice president of marketing at Ubisoft. "We are confident that players will enjoy caring for and watching their puppies grow, and we have a significant television campaign in place to get the word out about this extremely fun and rewarding game." Features: - Three Mini-games Available: Run Puppy Run!, Puppy Reversi and Puppy Quiz with a cuddly new companion.
- Visiting Mode: By linking two Game Boy Advance systems, players can send their puppy off to a friend's house.
- Always Together Mode: After players complete the game, up to three puppies' data are saved through an included backup feature. When players go to Always Together Mode, they will be able to load one of their previous puppies' data and play with it anytime.
