When you think of Nintendo and furries, most people are reminded of Star Fox. Nothing wrong with that!

The 3DS also had an new Nintendo IP, which was furry and was also very unique in its game play! Dillon’s Rolling Western mixed an action game with tower defense and featured some surprisingly good touch-screen controls. The sequel was even better, and had more characters!

After two digital-only Western-styled games, we got Dillon’s Dead Heat Breakers, a second sequel based on the same game play loop but with a physical release, a Mad Max-inspired setting, and the most important of all, the AMIIMAL!

At the the time, Nintendo platforms had an avatar system called the Miis, named after the unfortunately named console Wii. Now when you started a new game on Dillon’s Dead Heat, you were subjected to something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVzdJ5DgZX0 Your avatar was changed to eight different animal versions!

As I started the game, my Mii changed into a fox, which was awesome, as I love kitsunes, by the way. Funnily enough, you also could (or had to) recruit other Amiimals to help you animal your tower defenses. 3DS had a Wi-fi-system which could pick other console owners avatars to stay on your own, so I had, for example, one unlikeable university classmate, changed into a goat(not the greatest of all time time!), to help me! All in all, very funny stuff!

Did anyone else here play any Dillon game? If you did, what was/would be your Amiimal? Did you like the games?
