News from Gamesradar (http://www.gamesradar.com/gb/psp/game/news/article.jsp?releaseId=200604249475703002&articleId=2006042494915765017&sectionId=1006)

Yuke's, the developer behind the SmackDown! series, has turned its attention away from testosterone and sweat to frolicking puppies and cute canines with its new PSP game, The Dog: Happy Life.

The handheld game, which is released in Japan this month, allows you to choose some pups, dress them up, breed them (!), then take photos of the humiliated canine which can be then posted on the internet to further the poor pup's shame.

From the grabs it also seems possible to embellish and touch-up the photos to make the dogs look as though they're dancing, late for breakfast and saying hello.

While it seems to be lacking in some of the subtlety of the DS hit Nintendogs we have to throw Yuke's a bone for managing to make its game even camper. Truly remarkable.

There's no news of a UK release yet but perhaps Yuke's could include it as a SmackDown! minigame. Just a thought.

Has anyone actually seen Nintendogs?? I'm not sure this guy could make anything even close to contending without a touch screen. Between that and the brain trainer, I'm seriously thinking about getting a DS. My g/f sure wants one. Maybe I'll wait and let her buy it! ;)

No offense but this was announced a month or two ago.

Hey Wraggs...don't tell me you had the same vision of getting one of those poligonal pups and performing a boston suplex...
