The folks responsible for designing theNintendogsboxes sure did earn their paychecks. It’s a pleasant enough series of games, don’t get me wrong, but I ended up with way too many versions. If you were able to turn downthose precious faceswithout guilt, I respect your resolve. I never could say no.
We don’t haveWii Sports ResortorWii Fiton Switch, but we do haveGo Vacationand, much better yet,Fitness Boxing. Speaking of other Nintendo-inspired void-fillers, there’s the familiar pet simulatorLittle Friends: Dogs & Cats. It’s hoping to warm our hearts on Switch this spring in North America and Europe.
Little Friendshas touch-screen petting and Joy-Con motion-controlled disc throwing. Does it look great? Not really. Does it need to? I’d argue no, not exactly. With no alternatives, I’m willing to settle for less.
The key takeaway: You can dress up your pets in adorable, degrading outfits and not feel a hint of real-world remorse. There are only six dog breeds and three kittens to care for, but you’ll have your pick of some 600 accessories. The list of breeds includes Toy Poodle, Shiba, Chihuahua, French Bulldog, Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd, Japanese Cat, American Shorthair, and Scottish Fold.
Name your iconic duo. Without hesitation, mine is Shiba x Scottish Fold.
