SEGA Toys to release Poochi the Robotic Dog – a 3DS game with an interactive toy
Posted on 10 years ago by Jarop(@gamrah) in 3DS, News, Videos | 0 comments
Wacky peripherals are nothing new to Nintendo titles but this latest title from SEGA is a little extra eccentric. Poochi the Robotic Dog has you interacting with a robotic toy via a 3DS game / app, which can send barks that are translated into Japanese, play rock-paper-scissors and show you how it is feeling by the color on its face. Additionally, it has the ability to sing, has a number of sensors on its back, nose and tail and is currently to be priced at around $58.
