Its what you remember them to be. However, the lack of a real pause option really hinders the experience and leads to a lot of "dead" pets

I used to have a Tamagotchi when I was a child and it's been great to basically experience the same thing all over again! Just like the original, as its name states.

I was obsessed with the original years back so I bought 2 of these at Christmas, for my step daughter and niece. They are both 7 and didn’t really get into it so much but I love it!!! Kids these days....

My wife had one when she was a kid but it was stolen and she never got another one. So cool that I found this at Best Buy. Definitely authentic.

I remember wanting one so bad for Xmas when I was a kid and it was crazy to hear my son ask for one a couple decades later. They are just as I remember and my son had fun with his new one

It’s bringing flashbacks of my childhood! I love it. The only thing that’s a bummer is that you don't get to pick the design you get.

Great Gift, but this has to be the most annoying thing ever constantly beeping. They loved it and I hated it.

My daughter was obsessed in taking care of a tomagotchi. Was very upset when it died. Tried again to make it live a few days but with school its not easy.

Bought this for my friend’s birthday. Still the same as before. Controls are simple. The egg feels smaller than the old ones. Very good toy but very distracting!

When I first bought mine, it was an indication for my friends to get theirs too! Now we all have one, and they love having these nostalgic toys make a comeback!
