GoPets: New assets to coo

Aww, you break my heart. Again. - Image 1

Konami must be milking the DS’ value to three demographics: children, pet lovers, and old cat ladies. Konami announces that GoPets will frisk their way into the hearts of DS owners (under the above demographics) this Fall 2007. They follow in the footsteps of Nintendo’s in-house Nintendogs and the Ubisoft-published Petz, much as a puppy chases its own tail. Aww, how cute.

Speaking of puppies and other heartwarming cuddlers no one can take a Gears-branded chainsaw to, here are some new screenshots of the game in action, DS-style. Who’s a good little boy? Yes, you are, yes you are! Er, forget we said that.

Some of the game features (as extracted from the PR):

  • Interact with friends using text-chat and GoPets‘ icon-based “IKU” language
  • Join an online social network with your pet. See the world, make new friends (we’re talking about your tabby here)
  • “The Nintendo DS game features one-of-a-kind pets that can only be created within the gameÂ’s island environment, expanded offline play featuring island residents, and enhanced mini-games are also included.”
  • Keep track of all the friends your pet has made with a travel journal.
