Nintendo considered Nintendogs game for Wii

This information comes from the latest edition of Iwata Asks focusing on nintendogs + cats…
Konno: There were even ideas for animals like horses and dolphins. Some people said that horses would definitely sell well in Europe.
Iwata: So you were thinking about it, experimenting, and discussing it. Fate just wasn’t with those experiments and weren’t able to find that key element to validate them as a product.
Konno: Yes. We actually considered it for the Wii system. But it doesn’t have a microphone, so you couldn’t talk to your dog.
Iwata: Oh! So if the Wii Remote controller had a mic, there might have been a Wii version of Nintendogs?
Konno: Yeah. We might have moved forward with it.
Miyamoto: But there’s a distance between the Wii Remote and the television, so it might not have felt like you were petting your dog.
Konno: Right. We decided to consider any good ideas that might come up, but nothing ever developed.
Miyamoto: And to be honest, I didn’t feel like making a follow-up Nintendogs at the time.
Thanks to Thomas N for the tip!

Nintendo has listed this game for a Spring release in Japan, but has officially said that it won’t arrive in North America until after E3. It’s possible that the game will be delayed in Japan, though we’ll have to wait and see if that actually happens. If it doesn’t, we should be seeing more footage of Ocarina of Time 3D soon.
