Nintendo - Nintendogs for Nintendo DS Campaign
 
     
 

Nintendogs is like having your own puppy inside your Nintendo DS. You can feed it, take it for walks, play with it and go out and meet friends. The online campaign was part of an integrated campaign and the banners were based on the print creatives, showcasing the three main features of Nintendogs. Rich media overlays in the shape of a puppy book then described the main features of the game.

The second wave of the campaign promoted the launch of the Dalmatian edition of the game with a combination of banners and overlays as well as a MSN messenger skin.
