    I wish they came back with the connection and then rather than the stupid app that they have, to have a pokemon go type app which you then load onto the computer and then onto your handheld tamagotchi. That would truly start the craze again!

    Love your channel. I believe nobody loves Tamas more than you and myself. They were my best friends all my life. You taught me about the forest tamas and I adore it! I have three re-released tamas and two Tamagotchi On as well as Gudetama. They’re all amazing and I am so glad there’s a fan base for them.

  • @xeokym223
    @xeokym223 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    It's a little disappointing to find out the anniversary one is just a re-release of the Mini, because I already have 2 minis from when they came out years ago. But it's still cool to see them come back. I have over 30 myself, many Japan-only, so it's cool to see another collector who was as passionate (and nerdy) about them as myself ;)~

    I have a Tamagotchi connect gen 3 somewhere 😂, haven't used it in ages, but I loves it as a kid, me and my brother both had one and we used to connect them all the time. For relatively simple looking technology they were really reliable! I had the union jack one that I'm guessing was probably only released in the UK, it was great though, I may have to find it

  • @PhaethonCrafts

    Tamagotchis weren’t as popular as Giga Pets or Nano Pets/Babies in Vegas where I am originally from. Nano Babies were the most popular, followed by Giga Pets, and then finally Tamagotchis. My niece has one of the IR ones somewhere unless it was tossed.

I bring him to school with me EVERYDAY. I bring him everywhere because I can’t risk him getting sick and dying. I’m soooo glad they made this one because I wouldn’t have had snores. Tonight I brought him to a restaurant lol. I’m definitely getting more from the store or off eBay.

    I was (felt like) too old for it 20 years ago, that hasn't changed. I don't see the point of it, especially now that it is even more simplified.

    My boyfriend got one for me Christmas Eve! At first I was a bit disappointed by the simplicity of it, as I had Tamagotchi Connection when I was a kid, but like you said, I don't have a lot of time to keep a normal Tamagotchi alive! I can just check on it every few hours or so to feed it or clean it's poop. Which is nice for when I'm at work haha! Mine will be 2 days old tonight and his name is Barbosa, he's the goofy faced one with the long legs!

    I was not expecting such an overly simplified version at all. (The small size didn't make me assume there would be small tasks to it.) I do see it (The 2018 mini) as more of an accessory than a classic tomagotchi or a neko atsume game.

But I've just ordered some new batteries to boot up an old Tamagotchi I found in a drawer at home so I at least will have that to play.

      There's actually a few colored versions out, like the iDL, the Ps, and the m!x but the iDL is the only one that has an official English release. The Ps have more features and the m!x has genetics but they don't have an official English patch. With an infrared device you can download extra content and English patches though...

    I just got one at target
    Just wondering. Can you turn off the sound or pause it like the original.
    Basically in the original you can pause it so it won’t die when your sleeping or at school
    If you turn off the sound you basically won’t hear it’s warning call and it can die overnight or at school
    Just basically wondering if you can pause the 2017 version
    Thanks!

      press the first and second button together and then turn it off! doesn't pause though.

      If you press A and C it says off or on and you can choose whether you want the sound off or on

      Mahvelous 21 press the left,then right button kind of fast. If you do it right,and "on" "off" menu should appear! Then you just choose off and that's how you turn sound off! I havent figured out how to "pause" it yet tho...being I just got mine yesterday and im a 2006 child

    I appreciate the original complex ones more. I like trying to figure out what it needs. And my life is never so busy that I couldn't spare a few minutes in a day for one of these. Especially MGA programmed ones are super easy to care for, literally don't have to use but five or less minutes spread over a day on it to be just fine. Now, some of the Giga Pets on the other hand are insanely demanding and those ones I don't even try to run unless it's the holidays.

    I have to admit, as soon as i started mine up, i did feel like i had played this exact version before... but then i knew the nano wasnt quite exact. took me a few minutes and finally remembered about the mini, and sure enough, there it is!! So ive got both years release now... I was hoping that maybe they somehow had made the full aspect of the game into that tiny shell... or at least incorporated a pause feature... that would have been nice.
    But! I did get one for my nieces for christmas!! If they like these, i might see into getting them the full version (p1) maybe for their birthdays.

    To anyone searching for these tamagotchi I spent the last 4 days tracking them down. Barnes and noble only got 2 per store, Toys r us says they dont have any and they dont, walmart and best buy also. I saw someone tweet they found them at a target which I called and went to tons couldnt find any. The guy at one said that target was a corporate so i googled corporate target near me, called and sure enough they had them. When i got there the guy said they had them already for 12 days and were already getting another shipment in! So dont go crazy, go to a corporate target! Dont pay more than you have to for this little thing!!

    Got nostalgic when you mentioned 'digimon' as I used to have so many! Went to ebay and people are selling them for quite princely sums! If only I kept all mine...

    Let's just hope we'll see tamagotchis again outside of japan since the minis are doing well. Then again the prices will probably go up since people are starting to take interest again

    I just received the Tama original Gen 2 and I can hardly see the screen unless I use it under a lamp, which is so not practical. I’m so dissapointed and tempted to return to Amazon. You seem like such an expert! Are there any models where the contrast of pixels isn’t so crappy and you don’t need to use it under a lamp? Thank you so much!!

    Thanks for the review. My kids love the 25th anniversary version, it was their first introduction to the toy, and they love them. Any suggestions for another model I should get them? There are many to choose from.

    I never had a Tamagotchi. I had a sort of knock off version called a nano pet. It made little animal sounds and feeding sounds. When you cleaned up its poop, a toilet would flush. I didn’t care that it wasn’t an original Tamagotchi because I am totally blind and all of those beeps mean absolutely nothing. I could probably have been pointing my disciplining finger at it and beat it to death without knowing it.

    I bought a peach coloured one. Not sure if I want to unbox it. The price of my original on eBay is in excess of $300 unopened.

    It's kinda sad it's been simplified but you are right when it comes to it being better because it has been simplified. Like you said not many people have much time now a days. So even though it loses just a bit of nostalgia it's still fun & great.
