Nintendo Switch User Reviews

Cute and fun. I would definitely gift this game to my nephews. It's perfect for kids.

I hesitated buying this game for a while and sadly regret it. Its such a huge waste of potential, like a soulless recreation of Nintendogs It's insane to me that there are only 6 breeds of dog, and even less of cats, in a game that revolves entirely around the dogs/cats you have. The actual dog graphics are pretty decent but the accessories and items glitch through the models repeatedly and make it very off-putting. Another huge missed opportunity was to allow voice commands through the switch online app, it would have made it so more interactive. The dog just randomly teaches itself tricks which you can hardly utilise, the only grooming is a single brush to clean whatever fungal disease you dog has contracted away (no bathing? why??). There's also no mention of an XP/friendship cap so you're left wondering why you can't gain any more friendship levels - yet the game constantly bombards you with instructions on how to do every activity every time you do it. The walks are tedious and boring, the visuals on these walks are also extremely boring and pretty ugly too, especially the obnoxious balloons. I don't know why they had to lock the ability to obtain a cat so deep into the game, I'm sure most kids playing would have lost interest by the point you're a high enough level to obtain one. Overall its just a very empty and boring game and total waste of potential. If this game had any heart or substance it could have easily been huge, many players both young adults and children alike would love a reincarnation of the Nintendogs franchise - this isn't it.

Thought this would be the Nintendogs replacement. Clearly not, because those games are actually fun.

I personally enjoy the grind to level up your cat or dog. It gives you something to work for instead of it being handed to you.
