Editing Nintendogs (section)

===Legacy===
In 2010, ''[[1UP.com]]'' included ''Nintendogs'' in their list of five "Essential Newcomers" of the decade, describing it as one of "five revolutionary new games" of the past 10 years, for its impact on drawing "non-gamers to [[Video game console|console]] and [[Handheld game console|portable]] systems" and establishing the "new" Nintendo. Despite derision from many [[hardcore gamers]], ''Nintendogs'' sold tens of millions, mostly among [[casual gamer]]s and paved the way for the [[Nintendo DS]]'s worldwide success. This gave rise to a [[non-game]] trend, previously limited to PCs, on consoles and portables. Nintendo followed it up with more [[casual game]]s such as ''[[Brain Age]]'', ''[[Wii Sports]]'' and ''[[Wii Fit]]'', establishing Nintendo as the most successful developer and publisher of the decade.<ref name="1up_essential_nintendogs">{{cite web|last=Parish|first=Jeremy|title=The Decade That Was: Essential Newcomers: Nintendogs |url=http://www.1up.com/do/feature?pager.offset=4&cId=3178082 |page=5 |website=[[1UP.com]] |access-date=23 September 2011 |date=February 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121020060041/http://www.1up.com/do/feature?pager.offset=4&cId=3178082 |archive-date=20 October 2012}}</ref>
