RSPCA & Jessica Mauboy Join Forces To Endorse Nintendo 3DS Game

Oct 19, 2011 / News

Nintendo is pleased to announce that the RSPCA has officially endorsed nintendogs(TM) + cats, a video game currently available on Nintendo 3DS(TM). Australian singer and animal lover Jessica Mauboy has also joined forced with Nintendo and RSPCA and will be appearing in Nintendo's latest television ads.

 

"If like me, you just don't have the lifestyle where you can look after a puppy or kitten of your own - whether you travel a lot, live in an apartment, or work long hours - nintendogs + cats is the perfect companion for you", says Jessica.

The RSPCA was thrilled to officially endorse nintendogs + cats, and it was not something that was taken lightly. Kellie Rutherford, RSPCA Partnerships Manager explains: "The 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's key messages".

nintendogs + cats lets you find the puppy or kitten that's 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. Show affection towards them, 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! The RSPCA has endorsed nintendogs + cats because it helps teach players the real responsibilities of owning a puppy or kitten - walking them regularly, feeding them, washing them and making sure they get lots of love and attention.

Create a loving bond with your puppy or kitten, just like Jessica.

NEW CONFIGURATION FOR Wii

Oct 12, 2011 / News

 

 

Nintendo announces that a newly configured Wii console will be available late October 2011.

The streamlined Wii console has been designed to sit horizontally on a flat surface, rather than vertically as the original Wii did. It will come in sleek black, or white, packaged with Mario Kart Wii, a Wii Wheel, Nunchuk and Wii Remote Plus, all for the same low price of SRP $199.95* - there has never been a better time to join in the fun this Christmas.

Wii has some great new titles out now including Mystery Case Files: The Malgrave Incident and Xenoblade Chronicles. The highly anticipated The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword will also be available on Wii in time for Christmas when it launches 24 November. Go Vacation on Wii will be available November and Kirby's Adventure Wii in December.

Unlike the original Wii, the new Wii configuration will not be compatible with Nintendo GameCube software and accessories.
