    It’s funny because my daughter is 13 and she really wanted one after three days. She couldn’t stand it anymore and she’s just so happened to lose it on the fifth day.

    Tamagotchi Connection

    I really do enjoy this reproduction tamagotchi, it has a very nostalgic feel to it, but my biggest complaints are the fact that they put it on a ball chain instead of a key ring, and there are known issues with the battery coming loose at random, causing the tamagotchi to reset until you pop the battery and reinsert it. Otherwise the shell is cute, the sounds are nostalgic, and I didn't mind the price

    They're just as remembered from when I was a kid! I have a few nanos but the connections were always my favorite growing up. I love that there's many game options and items to buy for your tama. I bought two so they can be friends. On this particular on, the battery died quicker than my pther one. It may have lasted me 3 weeks before i had to replace it

    I initially saw this for $30 and my daughter really wanted it. I decided to give this to her as an early Christmas gift went to the register to find out it was marked down to $19! My daughter is 7 and was able to easily learn how to take care of her tamagotchi. It’s better than giving her a puppy that I will have to take care of in the end. On top of buying this I was also given 2 months worth of Free Crunchy Roll which is $8.62 a month for the single account for reference.

    I am absolutely thrilled with my Original Tamagotchi Lovely Angel purchase! The moment I opened the package, I was hit with a wave of pure nostalgia, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The build quality is fantastic: solid, vibrant, true to the original design, but with a little modern polish that makes it feel even more durable. The screen is crisp, the buttons are responsive, and everything works perfectly right out of the box. Shipping was reasonably fast. It was well-packaged, no damage, no delays, just smooth and easy. For the price, this is 100% worth it. It’s fun, simple, and surprisingly addictive all over again! If you grew up in the '90s or early 2000s, trust and enjoy the feels. One of my favorite purchases of the year.

    [Employee of bestbuy] My tamagotchi is the perfect thing to have in my pocket at all times. I've taken him to work, college, and a friend's house now they want one too! If you're worried about getting one because of how much noise they make, there is a way to disable sound for when you need quiet. I'm leaving this as a 4-star review because my only gripe is how there's no protective film for the screen when you first get it. I've had my Tama for less than a week and the screen is already full of scratches.

    I still have my childhood Tamagotchi from 2004 and I got this so that I could retire my original one. I absolutely recommend the Tamagotchi connection if you have a friend or a boyfriend or a girlfriend who will play with you!

    Always wanted a tamagotchi so I was really happy to see Best Buy had it in stock! She worked perfectly and lasted me a good while before passing away. The instructions were clear, although the games I needed to look up how to play, and she was very simple to use.

    This is just as fun and cute as I remembered it in the 90’s! I recommend it 100 percent if you are interested and curious. It’s a very faithful replica of the original! I definitely love it.

    I was so excited for this Tamagotchi, but now it’s not so great. It’s been about 2 weeks since my purchase, and this entire week, I’ve been getting the battery issue screen. The other Tamagotchi I purchased at the same time has had no issues.

    Item isn’t accurate. You dont get the one with hearts. You get the plain pink glitter one. I specifically ordered from Best Buy for the hearts and was really disappointed.

    My daughter's first Tamagotchi. Easy to use a fun thing to play with occasionally. Glad to see a nostalgia to make a comeback for today's generations.
