Kawaii Koinu DS

Kawaii Koinu first appeared on the Gameboy Advance in 2002 and MTO evolves the brand to the touch screen of the NDS. The game allows players to interact with puppy versions of man's best friends and 18 breeds are featured such as Chihuahua, Pomeranian, Golden Retriever, Miniature Dachshund, Toy Poodle, and French Bulldog.

The gamer's onscreen actor shares the universe of Kawaii Koinu with his pooch and the two may be seen interacting on the upper NDS screen. Commands may be scribbled in kana on the touch screen and orders barked into the NDS microphone. To encourage the dog's loyalty to its owner, mini-games and exercises may be enjoyed as a sort of bonding ritual.
