European Nintendogs Release Date

DS News | Hopefully an Aussie date is not too far behind.
European DS owners will soon be able to experience the joy of a mischievous puppy without waking up to chewed slippers and puddles on the floor. Nintendogs scampers onto the Nintendo DS on 7th October 2005.

The European version of the game will come in three different packages (Labrador Retriever, Miniature Dachshund and Chihuahua), each with six different breeds of puppies to begin with, giving a total of eighteen breeds to choose. These include three breeds – Golden Retriever, Siberian Husky and Boxer – not available in the Japanese version. Each breed will have a litter of three different puppies to choose from, giving players a chance to pick the sex and characteristics of their puppy.

The game will include:
    -Innovative touch-screen controls give access to a variety of toys, treats and activities for you to use with your new pet.
    -Playing games with your puppy will raise its skill level and help to train it, making it more obedient and opening up more options.
    -Build up a pet's skill enough and you will even get to take part in dog shows, competing in front of a large crowd to showcase the tricks it has learnt.
    -Interact with your pet with the innovative Nintendo DS features. Want to play a game with it? With the Nintendo DS voice recognition feature, you simply call the Nintendog by the name you have chosen.
    -The touch screen is then used to select a toy or a game to play with. You can stroke, pat and tickle your dog using the Nintendo DS stylus. All "nintendogs" react to every touch, encouraging you to stroke or rub their sensitive areas, just like a real pet would.
    -Nintendogs features an innovative wireless detection system, which allows people to trade items as they pass in the street.
Since its launch, the Japanese have been going barking mad for Nintendogs. Not only do the magazines love it, but the general public can't get enough either – so much so that sales of the Nintendo DS console increased to five times the average amount during the game's launch week.

Nintendogs goes on sale in the UK on 7th October 2005 at the estimated retail price of around £30.

It seems that NOAus has hidden their date for Nintendogs.

I swear I saw it posted on NOAus' site has "September 29th 2005".
