Fun Nintendo Facts: Puppy Times

Here's a surprising revelation for those with an eye on Nintendo's sizable secret gaming vault. In a recent interview, Shigeru Miyamoto reveals that the upcoming Puppy Times (Nintendogs in Japan) dog-raising simulation was originally started as a GameCube game. The game's development team tried out a number of experiments on the GameCube and, while they were able to make some realistic-looking dogs, they determined the resulting gameplay experience to not be much fun. So, they moved the project over to the DS.

Add another bit of unreleased code to the Nintendo gaming vault which includes Nintendo PlayStation games and countless other bits of gold that we'll never get a chance to see.
