Just when you thought the Nintendogs franchise had gone as far as it could go, here comes one of the most clever uses of the license yet -- trainable toy dogs based on breeds from the games. There are two types; the simpler Trick Trainer Pups come with a magnetic bone that can be used to guide them through tricks. The more elaborate, aptly-named Interactive Play puppies do just that -- they interact by wagging their tails when they're stroked, howling when you howl, and some will even snarl and growl during a game of tug-of-war. Toss in a slipper-chewing feature and it's almost like having a real dog!
The plushy pups debuted last week in the UK from retailer Tomy and through Amazon UK (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&tag=dcemu-21&camp=1634&creative=6738&path=tg%2Fbrowse%2F-%2F468294) for 9.99 (about $20 USD) for the Trick Trainers and 24.99 for for the Interactive Play Pups.
