nintendogs deluxe

Remember that cozy, wholesome vibe we talked about with the Complete Pack of nintendogs + cats & New Friends? Well, guess what, someone just dropped a banger of a romhack for the original nintendogs, and it’s like the ultimate love letter to the game that started it all. nintendogs deluxe is here, and it’s basically the definitive edition we never got.   

This ain’t some half-bashed mod, it’s a full-on remix of the original experience. The hack’s creator, Aurum, in just one week, managed to stitch together all six versions of the game (Golden Lab, Dachshund, Chihuahua, Dalmatian, Shiba Inu and Best Friends) into one mega-packed adventure. No more picking a version and missing out on your dream pup. Now, every breed, every accessory, every little thing that was once locked behind exclusives? All yours from the jump.

Remember that afro wig that got cut from the original release? Yeah, it’s back. Your virtual dog can now live out its disco fantasies. There’s also the pair of star sunglasses, an ultra-rare item that used to be event only, now you can just stumble upon it during walks. And speaking of walks, that annoying trainer point restriction for finding rare items? Gone. No more grinding just to get your pup a fancy collar.  

The hack doesn’t just dump everything in your lap, it smartens up the game. All the cover breeds (you know, the ones that used to taunt you from the box art) are unlocked immediately, and interior styles are easier to get. Even the text got a modern touch-up, so it feels less "2005 handheld game" and more polished. Oh, and there's a new title screen too. It’s the little things.   

The heart of the game: training your pup, spoiling them with toys and entering competitions is all untouched. But now, it’s like playing the ultimate version of the game, with none of the old frustrations. It’s still that same warm, fuzzy experience, just bigger and better.

If you ever loved Nintendogs, this romhack is essential. It’s the game we wish Nintendo had made, no version splits, no missing content, just pure, unfiltered virtual pet joy. And the fact that this was whipped up in a week and is compatible with any nintendogs version? Insane. 10/10!
