Kinectimals cuties…
“Kinectimals” takes you on a journey of discovery with your pet using full body movement, voice commands and gestures. Just like real pets, your animal will come running when they hear your voice, respond to commands like “jump,” “roll-over” and “play dead,” and purr with joy when you scratch them behind the ears.

Now available at major retailers for $11.99 (U.S. ERP) are the White Tiger, African
