If you have severe heart problems, then we suggest you watch the video above. Why? Well, the power of cute pets is known the world over and we've never underestimated the worth of something that makes you go "awww." And with everything we've seen on Yume Neko DS so far, we're convinced that this is going to be the most purest concentration of cute found outside of searching for kittens on YouTube or a certain website called Cute Overload.

Cats remain hard to please in Yume Neko DS

Filed under: News, Screens

As if any further evidence were required, Yume Neko DS proves that cats are ~~overly fussy buggers~~ considerably more complex and high-maintenance than their canine counterparts. For example, whereas Nintendogs had us keeping an eye on our puppy's hunger, thirst, and general cleanliness, the cats in Yume Neko DS need to be kept content on seven different fronts, including hunger, thirst, cleanliness, stamina, energy, overall happiness, and even claw care.

These new screens from Dengeki also reveal more on the game's interior design mode, as well as showcasing a few of the sixty breeds the game will feature (happily, this blogger's favorite is included). So, will Yume Neko DS provide the longevity that the otherwise excellent Nintendogs lacked? Probably not, but hey, look: cute widdle kittens.

Yume Neko DS: Cat-approved

Posted Mar 25th 2008 2:15PM by JC Fletcher
Filed under: News, Imports

As admitted fans of both cats and adorable pictures of cats, we'd like to extend our thanks to whoever at Famitsu decided to go document the Cat Cafe Calico/Yume Neko DS event. Sega's marketing for this game has been note-perfect, serving mostly to remind people that cats are cute.

Not only do the pictures demonstrate the staff's acceptance of Yume Neko DS into their environment, you can also see the promotional materials available at the cafe. Mostly, however, Famitsu took pictures of the cuddly bunch just hanging out and being adorable. Also there are a few screens, if, for some reason, you'd want to see those.

Yume Neko DS promoted to cat lovers

If anyone would be likely to buy and enjoy a game about taking care of virtual cats, you would expect it to be patrons of a cafe where people pay to spend time in the company of cats. That's why Sega's partnership with Cat Cafe Calico is so brilliant.

The Tokyo cafe has 18 friendly cats (and one dog) "on staff" to hang out and play with cafe customers. It is frequented by people whose apartments or busy lifestyles make a cat of their own impossible. Or people who just really like cats. From March 26th to May 6th, those cat enthusiasts will all receive a Yume Neko DS postcard and seals upon entering Calico, which will be decorated in a Yume Neko DS theme and will play the game's music.

This is how you do a trailer with no gameplay footage

Posted Mar 2nd 2008 12:00PM by JC Fletcher

We vaguely remember Sega's Yume Neko DS to be some kind of Nintendog-esque virtual cat game. At this point, we want to buy it right now, because Sega's trailer is perfect. Except for the whole not one second of gameplay being shown bit. But is the actual game going to be better than cute kittens?

That's right, instead of showing off the game's graphics or features, Sega just created a video of four and a half minutes of cute kittens. We support the adoption of the "kitten footage" style for more game trailers -- we'd rather stare at kittens than know what games are about. Mew!

Nintendo fails to announce Nintencats, SEGA steps in

Posted Dec 7th 2007 7:00PM by Chris Greenhough
Filed under: News, Video

We know what you're thinking, and yes, the mere fact that this post is related in some way to our feline friends is a good enough reason to break out the lolcats.

But we digress. Ever since the delightful Nintendogs launched and sold around a gazillion copies, we've been patiently waiting for a feline-based sequel, a follow-up that would undoubtedly attract the cat-loving half of the civilized world to Nintendo's handheld. Alas, "Nintencats" has (bafflingly) failed to emerge, so SEGA has dutifully decided to offer us Yume Neko DS, a game that allows players to pet, poke, and play with their cat in much the same way as we mucked around with our mutts in Nintendogs. It's hitting Japan next spring, though there's no news yet on a western localization.

Past the break, we've embedded a pair of trailers, one a demo of the game in action (worth a look, as the cats themselves are nicely animated), and the other a Japanese TV spot for the extremely sinister-looking "Yume Neko Smile," a cuddly toy spin-off from the game that probably comes to life at night to embark on bloodthirsty rampages, leaving nothing in its horrifying wake alive.
