The franchise was originally conceived by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], and is now one of the most successful series of games on the [[Nintendo DS]] handheld system.

The Nintendog appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. It was first seen in the trailer at [[E3]] 2006 and was believed to be an [[item]] of its own. However, much later it was confirmed to be an [[Assist Trophy]]. This Assist Trophy covers the whole screen, including players' names. Also, any [[CPU]] characters that are covered by the Nintendog do not do anything until the dog incursion subsides. This Assist Trophy is often considered the least powerful out of the many different Assist Trophies because it does not do much except obscure the player's view. The puppy will always bark twice at the bottom left corner of the screen before leaving. | The Nintendog appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.

The Nintendog first appeared in the DS game ''Nintendogs''. This breed of Nintendog is from the ''Labrador & Friends'' version of Nintendogs. ''Nintendogs'' is a real-time simulation on taking care and playing with puppies. When a player turns on the game, the puppies that the player bought will "greet" the person by jumping in front of the camera and barking. The Nintendogs also do this when the player pushes the "Call Dogs" button, or by calling or whistling for the ''Nintendog'' in the DS microphone. In ''Brawl'', a ''Nintendog'' appears on the stage for a short period of time. The Nintendog then jumps in front of the camera in a similar fashion to how they did in the ''Nintendog'' games. | The Nintendog first appeared in the DS game ''Nintendogs''.
