cutest game ever and super relaxing, hasnt been updated in a while so i hope theyll get back to it

It's a good, cute, relaxing game. Reminds me a bit of Nintendogs (although not exactly- it focuses more on exploration than tamagotchi aspects) & I'm always on the hunt for that bit of nostalgia. In my opinion its not worth the base $40 USD, but if you catch it on sale like i have then I highly recommend it
I think I got it for 4 euro... Anyways, not 40 euro I wouldn't buy it, but for the 4 it is worth it. But for such a price as the original, this game needs much more breeds and dogs. Speaking of which, I like that you're being giving them almost right away. Or... It is just the game short, don't know, haven't finished it anyways and there are plenty of achievements left. I don't like the controls, I don't like that...
