AbandonedTrolley Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Meh, **** Sony, it won't go down well. lol someone obviously doesn't like Sony and blames them for everything. In relation to the game I don't think Nintendo can sue as wasn't there a game called Petz/Dogz/Catz before even Nintendogs? Plus obviously the yahoo game doesn't have the portability of the DS game. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firebud Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 You forget, the touch screen cababilities really helped Nintendogs out in the end. Yahoo and PSP can't do that. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gelob Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 (edited) I'm surprised they can get away with this. One of the most blatant rips I've ever seen. Damn :| . http://get.games.yahoo.com/proddesc?gamekey=puppyluv Can i hear fanboy? Like 10 years agothere was a game for PC called DOGz that did all of this crap first then later on they had CATS,etc. In fact i think the sims even did this **** before nintendo. http://petz.ubi.com/ ^^^ THERE OWND :yes: Edited April 9, 2006 by Gelob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Dogz and Cats were both good games, but they were nothing like Nintendogs at all. That's like saying everything that came after the first sci-fi FPS (not sure what that would technically be) was a rip-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ji@nBing Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 I'm not talking about the principal or concept. Like I said, I realize the dog sim idea has been done before. Just the way it was executed was waaaay too similar to Nintendogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+.Vamp Subscriber² Posted April 9, 2006 Subscriber² Share Posted April 9, 2006 It was a really popular game, so yahoo made it for the people who dont have a DS, because it would get a lot of customers, making yahoo a lot of money, thats just business, love it or hate it.

Ironman273 Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Dogz and Cats were both good games, but they were nothing like Nintendogs at all. That's like saying everything that came after the first sci-fi FPS (not sure what that would technically be) was a rip-off. Actually, according to the original submitter, it would be like Valve (Half Life) suing Monolith for coming out with F.E.A.R. Both are FPS, but Half Life was not the first with the concept and won't be the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erich Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 ID was the first with Wolfenstein 3d. ID should sue every game that even uses 3d - they forged the way!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
