Wappy Dog allows folks to communicate with their digital pets not only via the DS, but also by playing with and training their pooch’s robotic doppelgänger. After playing with DS Wappy, the game automatically syncs up with the toy bot to keep it from developing any human glitches. Though currently a prototype, the toy can dance, whine, and bark in response to your child’s interactions, and is slated for a release this fall at an unknown price point. the next family pet??
