    This tamagotchi was very needy and constantly alerting you even while you sleep which I don’t remember it being like that when I was a child. There wasn’t a off button and my 7yr old got tired of it after a week so luckily it was inexpensive.

    Well, it is very good for the old time sake when I was in elementary school. This one is a must have for our age. And now it's back with much more cheaper than before. So, If you want to have that feeling back again. Buy it and you will not regret.

    This baby brings me back to my childhood days of slaving away to keep this thing quiet while my mom yelled at me because it wouldn’t stop beeping at 3am and then I finally fall asleep and by morning I have to restart the process again. Such fond memories. 10/10 recommend getting it now because no one can yell at you.

    was fun to have this, I actually never got to own my own Tamagotchi as a child, I only had a knockoff that did not last long or was very fun. This plays just like the originals, for better or worse. Make sure you have enough time and patience to raise a new pet

    I purchased this for my daughter as a "back when I was in college this was the rage" and she thoroughly enjoyed caring for the virtual animal. My son got jealous, and now I have two of these in the house.
