nintendogs + cats missing on the North American 3DS eShop
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
A new wave of Nintendo Selects joined the North American lineup on Friday. Five games were added, including nintendogs + cats: Golden Retriever & New Friends. Most of these titles had their prices updated on the eShop, but there’s now a strange situation surroundings the nintendogs + cats games.
Back in 2014, all three versions of nintendogs + cats became available digitally and at just $15. Now, however, they’re gone entirely. Searching for nintendogs + cats brings up zero results. All of the Nintendo Selects had their prices updated on the eShop this past Friday and Nintendo Land even made a return, but it seems that nintendogs + cats is gone. It’s likely related to the fact that Golden Retriever & New Friends’ old price ($15) was lower than it would have been under the Nintendo Selects line ($20).
Will nintendogs + cats ever return? That’s a good question. If the different versions ever come back, they probably won’t be at $15 again.
Thanks to Jose M for the tip.

Sumo on making Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, Mario Kart 7 reaction, open to another sequel
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 11 Comments
Sumo Digital worked with SEGA to release Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing in 2010. It was a racer starring Sonic and a bunch of other characters based on SEGA’s various franchises. The game was well-received, and the two companies then returned in 2012 with the sequel Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. The racing was just as good, and Sumo did everything it could to make an even bigger and better game.
While reflecting on the sequel in last month’s issue of EDGE, executive producer Steve Lycett told the magazine:
“It was basically, ‘What if we had vehicles which transformed and [travelled across] land, air and sea?’ That was the initial back-of-a-fag-packet idea that became the basis of Transformed.”
“We made everything fourplayer; we made sure every single track had its own individual [style]. In a way, we almost didn’t care what Sega thought, as long as the fans were happy. We said we wanted to deliver absolutely everything we could, and we never pulled back from that, to the point where we were sneaking updates and various bits and pieces under the radar.”

A number of new Nintendo Selects debuted in North America today. On Wii U, we have Zelda: Wind Waker HD, Nintendo Land, and LEGO City: Undercover. The 3DS line has added Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Tomodachi Life, nintendogs + cats: Golden Retriever & New Friends, and LEGO City: Undercover.
All of these titles have now dropped to $20 officially at retail, and the new prices are now reflected on the eShop as well. As a bonus, Nintendo Land can now be purchased digitally again in North America. Nintendo removed the game for unknown reasons in late 2013.
