With the uproar of what the 3DS will or wonât do to childrenâs vision, know that 3DS title Nintendogs + Cats is more than simply an updated Nintendogs with feline friends. Itâs an update with eyes that can see players.

The eyes respond to light, flutter, squint and express the petâs emotion. Even the eyes of the in-game cats dilate and become slits â fitting as Miyamoto got a cat during the making of this game. During development, there was concern whether cats alone would make an interesting game, but Miyamoto felt that dogs and cats living together (madness!) would create a viable and enjoyable experience.
The eyes of the in-game animals, however, are more than cosmetic. They can âseeâ players, similar to the facial recognition in the upcoming Love Plus 3DS love simulator, albeit minus the cockblocking.
The 3DSâs camera recognizes players, and over time, so do the Nintendogs and Nintencats. Eventually, players wonât even have to call their pets, because their pets will remember their masters.
And as most pet owners can attest, their own pets are always the cutest, which is why Nintendogs + Cats has a photo function that enables players to take 3D snaps of their virtual animal. Itâs even possible to put the critters in real locations with the handheldâs AR cards.
All thatâs missing is the smell of the litter box.
