“Nintendogs” is a Nintendo DS game that allows players to care for a virtual dog. You may want to reset the game when you make a mistake or encounter a glitch. A game reset allows you to reboot the console and resume the game from your last saved position. Alternatively, you may want to reset the game’s data. A data reset deletes all game information and lets you start again from scratch. This function is useful if you receive the game secondhand or want to pass it on to a friend.
