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.
