This brings back so many memories of when I would scream and cry if my pet died, and with the appearance being the same as the original, I feel like doing that again!! The instructions are definitely needed to jog the memory a bit, but after that the buttons are a lot easier to use. The quality is yet to be tested, and the look of it makes me think it is sturdy, and the value for money is something I need to find out too. The fun will probably never end for me now.
I bought this for a friend’s 40th, thinking it would remind us of a more carefree time, but her kids made her feel guilty every time she played with it in front of them so it didn’t really alleviate that much stress.
My daughter loves her electronic pet. Easy to set up and use. Need to feed & care for pet, can go into “sleep” mode for school etc but it can get sick or die if long time left. Does spawn a new one.
Getting the Tamagotchi is like being a kid again back in the 90s and the “stress” of making sure your Tamagotchi is fed, clean and happy to see how old you can get your Tamagotchi is real!
It really has taken me back to being 12/13 years old with my first Tamagotchi. Thinking of getting one for my sister at some point, as she didn’t get to enjoy her Tamagotchi for long as she lost hers on a plane coming home from vacation (that’s when we got them cuz they were 10 back in ’97) But this Tamagotchi is the real deal!
Only downside to is is there is no backlight so if you’re in a dark area, you’ll need a flashlight or some sort of light to still play. I remember when I was in the car as a kid, I had the same problem waiting for lights to come by the car so I can see how my Tamagotchi is getting on.
Other than that, it’s GREAT!
I got one for my wife for Xmas. Oh how delighted she was to have yet another thing requiring her attention on top of kids, house, real pets, etc. But she kinda smiles about it.
The system is simple and as long as you keep it near you it doesn’t take that much time to keep happy.
All you need to is keep it happy. Check the happiness and hunger levels and simply play a game (guess left or right several times) and feed it (stick with meals and no snacks). Clear its mess up when required and tell it off if it’s being naughty. Over time your Tamagotchi will grow into a bigger character and last a random number of days. How well you look after it will determine what it grows into and how long it lasts. Typical is about a week.
Thankfully the little pest goes to sleep in the evening until morning so make sure you set the time right so it doesn’t beep in the middle of the night!
Our kids help out with it from time to time. The case is fairly robust. No backlight so can be hard to see in poor light.
I think value for money is ok. I think price is similar to the good old days.
Will you play it for hours on end? Doubtful, but it’ll probably make the person smile who you get it for.
My partner brought me the yellow one about 2 years ago which I started up today along with my new mermaid one and it’s just my childhood brought back too me.
Only downside is it doesn’t beep when it has poop or when it needs medicine. It waits till last minute to beep then u can’t do nothing about it but watch it die.
So the first few days you have to look at it at least every 15-20 mins to make sure it’s ok.
You can put it in silent which I didn’t know u could when I was younger. Press the first button and the last button at the same time it makes a beep noise then it’s silent. It’s been a life saver since I found that out.
The screen is a little dark. But part from that it’s how I remembered and I love the simple ness of it all. I can feel the temptation of buying all the colors i love.
This along with the gameboy and Nintendo was the best invention back when I was a kid and always will be.
The Tamagotchi is easy to use and has three buttons that let you select and perform various actions. It is also durable and battery-operated, so you don’t have to worry about charging it or breaking it. The Tamagotchi comes with a chain that you can attach to your bag, belt, or wrist, so you can take your pet with you wherever you go.
One thing to note is that the Tamagotchi beeps a lot when it needs attention or when something happens. This can be annoying or distracting at times, especially if you are in a quiet place or doing something else. You can turn off the sound by pressing the first and third buttons together, but then you might miss some important events or notifications. You can also adjust the volume by pressing the second and third buttons together, but the lowest setting is still quite loud.
The Tamagotchi is a great toy for kids who love animals and want to learn about responsibility and care. It is also a fun and nostalgic toy for adults who remember the original Tamagotchi from the 90s. The Tamagotchi is a classic digital pet that has been updated with new features and designs. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a unique and interactive gift for their child or themselves.
