Animal Paradise has players adopt, feed, and play with different virtual pets through the touch screen, following the formula popularized by Nintendogs that dozens of studios replicated with their own variants over the console's lifespan. Progression is based on the emotional bond built with each animal rather than any challenge system.
It's representative of a huge segment of the DS catalog aimed at a young, family audience, which found in the handheld the ideal vehicle for these care-based experiences with no violence or competitive pressure.
