    Dogz 2008 Heads Exclusively to Wii

    Ubisoft have confirmed the next entry into the Dogz series as a Wii-exclusive.

    Players will be able to adopt a pup from over 18 different breeds, train their new friend to compete in races or kit him or her in more than 100 outfits and accessories. Dogs can also travel to other Wii consoles and interact with other players.

    The company also released a handful of screens and artwork for the game "designed to take advantage of the Wii system's technology".

    Shoddy development or a worthy competitor to the DS's nintendogs? Bare in mind this is for Wii...

    This has got to be the shittest looking Wii game to date.

    Ubisoft should just fuck off about now. Can easily pass as a DS game.

    I wish someone would interview these guys and seriously question them about their Wii support. These games, Dogz and BabyZ Party, are nothing but shovelware. Where is the Wii version of Beyond Good and Evil 2? Where is the Nintendo Quality? Where is the real support? These guys need to stop. They are going to be responsible for the Video game crash of the 2000's. Flooding the market with crapware should not be tolerated.

    I also wish someone would get an interview with Ubisoft and demand a straight answer as to why Wii owners have to put up with this crap. 'Nintendo-Quality games?' BULLSHIT.Smilie

    Pretty much - not so sure about sales figures though. Surprising though, as RS2 was supposed to be one of the bigger Wii projects in development - haven't heard anything since though, unfortunately.

    What on earth did we do to Ubisoft to deserve this.

    oh, and they then make the utterly stupid choice to make beyond good and evil in a realistic Gears-Of-War style. WTF
    Its looks horrible, and dosnt suit the game at all, AS WELL as meaning it cant come out on Wii....the biggest saleing platform of which the previous platform got it the most game sales for the previous game.

    What are they thinking?!

    The last screenshot looks good enough, I'm sure the other screens are taken from an early build.

    I don't have a dog or dogz so I might be interested in this. Hopefully you will be able to bet online in those dog races. They should also put in a lot of hard to get outfits, accessories and breeds so Wii owners can buy/sell from/to others. The developer could then make some profit via a tax system, and make sure the sequel will turn out even better.*

    *Note, I have not played this yet so it's hard to say how they could improve on it.

    "train their new friend to compete in races or hit him or her in more than 100"

    I read it as 'hit' them in more than 100 [different ways]. Now that would have been cool.

    Sad to say but I was looking into these two days ago for my 7 year old daughter who is turning 8 on Sunday. I was hoping to find a Ninten-horses but unfortunatley none was to be found. I remember Oldskool telling me that all the 'z' games were crap.

    He was right about that.
    Look unto me in every thought. Doubt not. Fear not.

    Oh Dogz, what have they done to you? You used to be so amazing, and now...

    Ubisoft, you must pay.

    *goes back to Dogz 5 for PC which was a proper Petz game*

    Bluerocks, I suggest looking into Petz 5 for your daughter. I and my siblings love it ^^

    Apparently "Me & My Horse" is pretty decent. But because it has more focus on a carreer than on brushing and petting, it might not be that much for for an 8 year old.

    Online!

    I love how they've dropped PS2 support, the thing that was holding them back from making better looking games on Wii, and it still manages to look like one of the crappest efforts about.

    Meanwhile, 360/PS3 get Prince Of Persia and Beyond Good & Evil 2 despite the fact that Wii is outselling the living crap out of both of them. There is something backwards about all this.

    Didn't Ubisoft say recently that Wii isn't making them much money?

    This is exactly why.

    Smilie what? That looks like DS graphics to me... I though Wii could do graphics slightly stronger than XBOX(old XBOX, you know the ugly black brick).
