Nintendog



The Nintendog is a giant puppy from the game Nintendogs that is going to appear in the currently unreleased game Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It is confirmed to be activated by an Assist Trophy, though randomly. Regardless, when activated, the Nintendog will paw and bark at the player or players, obscuring their vision and distracting them.

Nintendogs also appear in minigames in WarioWare: Smooth Moves.

Trivia

 * Nintendog is a portmanteau word of Nintendo and dog, though these words are only indirect namesakes to the Nintendog itself (as it was actually named after its debut game of Nintendogs).
