Bandai - Chibi Tamagotchi - Styles May Vary

I still have my original Tamagotchies from when I was a kid, so I was very excited to see these in store. I immediately had to get one. It is a much simpler interface which is both a pro and a con. The only interaction with your virtual pet is to feed it, clean up when it poops, and turn off the light when it goes to sleep. This is great as the simple interface is much easier to understand. However, it also means that one can quickly get bored with the virtual pet.

Reminded me of the old school game systems. Product seemed cheaply made and wasn’t easy to use. Returned item

It works well and my daughter enjoyed playing with it but the instructions were poor and we didn’t know how to reset it once the Tamagotchi died. So, she stopped playing for weeks and I’m not sure how or when but it eventually reset.

It's fun and definitely nostalgic, and frankly a nice changeup from always playing games on a smartphone that require focus and strategy. With that said, the physical size is too small. I'd prefer the classic original. And being spoiled by apps that offer many hours of gameplay, you will soon be reminded just how limited these were. But they certainly deliver on nostalgia and would make a cute gift for a kid. Also worth noting is that my Tamagotchi battery was nearly dead in the new package, but I happen to have these particular batteries in multipacks for various electronics (remotes, trackers, etc.), so this didn't bother me.

Nostalgia at its finest. These little gadgets still hold up today and even give a fresh take to the new young people of today.

My daughter love this toy. Fun and entertaining, good choice

My daughter wanted one to give it a go and see what type of electronics we had in our childhood. She had fun. but just like during my time, you grow out of it.

Bought when Xmas present broke. This one works great and is cute when hatches. Needs a lot of taking care of at first. As with all Tamagotchi.
