Australia, 19 October, 2011 \u2013<\/p>\n
Nintendo is pleased to announce that the RSPCA has officially endorsed nintendogs\u2122 + cats, a video game currently available on Nintendo 3DS\u2122. Australian singer and animal lover Jessica Mauboy has also joined forced with Nintendo and RSPCA and will be appearing in Nintendo\u2019s latest television ads.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf like me, you just don\u2019t have the lifestyle where you can look after a puppy or kitten of your own \u2013 whether you travel a lot, live in an apartment, or work long hours \u2013 nintendogs + cats is the perfect companion for you\u201d, says Jessica.<\/p>\n
The RSPCA was thrilled to officially endorse nintendogs + cats, and it was not something that was taken lightly. Kellie Rutherford, RSPCA Partnerships Manager explains: \u201cThe RSPCA science team spent many hours with nintendogs + cats to ensure it was a game that promoted responsible ownership of a puppy or kitten. Every aspect of the game was carefully looked over to ensure it aligned with the RSCPA\u2019s key messages\u201d.<\/p>\n
nintendogs + cats lets you find the puppy or kitten that\u2019s right for you and just like owning a real one, the more you train, care and love your puppy or kitten, the happier and more rewarding they become. Watch as your puppies and kittens learn to recognise your face, and you can even hold them in the palm of your hand with the Augmented Reality feature.<\/p>\n
Show affection towards them,\u00a0 and train them regularly and soon enough they will be running up and licking the screen with excitement when they see you. All in amazing 3D without the need for special glasses, and recommended by the RSPCA!<\/p>\n
The RSPCA has endorsed nintendogs + cats because it helps teach players the real responsibilities of owning a puppy or kitten \u2013 walking them regularly, feeding them, washing them and making sure they get lots of love and attention.<\/p>\n
