Nintendogs Go Wii?

Nintendogs was a huge hit on the DS. Although people thought it wouldn’t do too well outside Japan, they were proven wrong with Europe, a continent typically unfriendly towards Nintendo, accounting for more sales than both North America and Japan. Now, Nintendo will obviously want to take advantage of the popularity of their new franchise.

IGN Wii: Will you bring Nintendogs to Wii?

Tezuka: It’s definitely a property that we’re looking at because it was so well received and it did so well for us. There are definitely conversations about where we can take it next. Nothing specific yet, but it’s definitely something that’s in our minds.

Nintendogs might not be what they’re going for though. After the first game, it seems more likely they’ll do something along the lines of “Nintencats.” Whether or not the game will make a smooth transition from handheld to console remains to be seen.
