More Dogz Going Around
Ubisoft Inc. today announced that it has signed an exclusive licensing agreement with MTO Co. Ltd of Japan to distribute their puppy simulation game titled Dogz for the Game Boy Advance around the world with the exception of their home country this November.
Like the other more famous Nintendogs for the Nintendo DS, Dogz is a virtual puppy simulator that allows a player to select one of 49 dogs from 18 different breeds. Again, like the more famous Nintendo DS title, the player earns his or her puppy's love by playing, feeding and grooming their virtual pet, without the use of a stylus or voice recognition software of course.
Tony Kee, Vice President of Marketing at Ubisoft made it clear that his company intends to really promote this title in the marketplace. "Ubisoft is pleased to bring such a unique puppy simulation game to the millions of Game Boy Advance owners around the world. We are confident that players will enjoy caring for and watching their puppies grow, and we have a significant television campaign in place to get the word out about this extremely fun and rewarding game."
Some key features of this game are:
Three Mini-games Available: Run Puppy Run, Puppy Reversi, and Puppy Quiz with a cuddly new companion.
Visiting Mode: By linking two Game Boy Advance systems, players can send their puppy off to a friend's house.
Always Together Mode: After players complete the game, up to three puppies' data are saved through an included backup feature. When players go to Always Together Mode, they will be able to load one of their previous puppies' data and play with it anytime.
Dogz has already been rated E for Everyone by the ESRB and is currently awaiting a specific release date as well as pricing details. Stick with Advanced Media for the latest news and new game announcements on the industry wires.
