Nintendogs VS ShellNewHandler

• Engaging pet simulation
  Players can adopt, name, train, feed, groom, and play with virtual puppies (and cats in the Nintendogs + Cats edition), creating an emotional bond and a relaxing, low-pressure experience that appeals to animal lovers who cannot keep real pets.
• Innovative use of Nintendo DS features
  The game uses the touch screen for petting and grooming, the microphone for voice commands and teaching your dog its name, and the stylus for throwing toys, which makes interactions feel intuitive, hands-on, and novel for the time.
• Wide appeal and accessibility
  With simple controls and no fail states, the game is easy for children, casual players, and non-gamers to pick up, and its gentle pace makes it suitable for all ages.
• Variety of breeds and activities
  Multiple dog breeds (and cat options in the Plus Cats edition) are available, along with activities such as obedience training, disc competitions, agility courses, and walks, which provide some variety and goals to work toward.
• Charming visuals and animations
  Dogs and cats are rendered with lifelike, expressive animations and behaviors, and the game has cheerful, polished presentation that makes the pets feel endearing and believable.

Possible disadvantages

• Repetitive gameplay
  The core loop of feeding, walking, training, and competing is repeated frequently, and there is limited long-term progression, so players seeking depth or variety may lose interest after a while.
• Unreliable voice recognition
  The microphone-based voice command system can misinterpret or fail to register commands, particularly in noisy environments or for younger voices, which can make training frustrating.
• Limited challenge and depth
  Because there is no real failure or danger, the game offers little challenge, and the competitions and goals can feel shallow for players who prefer more complex or strategic gameplay.
• Dated hardware and availability
  The game is designed for the Nintendo DS and 3DS family, which are discontinued systems, so it can be harder to find, may require used hardware, and does not benefit from modern features or online services.
• Not a substitute for real pets
  The virtual animals offer simplified, idealized behavior and limited interaction compared with real animals, so some players may feel the experience lacks emotional depth or realism over time.

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

  Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
