    Much smaller than anticipated but it’s stated as such in product details. Either way very cute and easy stocking stuffer, looking forward to giving to the kids for Christmas. Fast and easy shopping as always with Best Buy!

    This brings back so many memories of when i was little. Its cute and small, but it doesnt do much. You can feed it and clean up after it uses the bathroom. It beeps alot too. Its fun though and entertains my little one.

    Was purchased as a gift for my sister-in-law. Let's just say, this took her on a trip down memory lane! Childhood memories flooded her head as she relived her fond memories of trying to keep a digital pet alive! 10/10 would buy again.

    Great that tamagatchi came back, but it’s just not the same. All you can do is feed it and clean up after it. No more games or scolding for unnecessary beeping. Good to have, but definitely would’ve prefered the OLD tamagotchi

    I bought this for my kids as a stocking stuffer. I remember it was a bit cheesey when I was a kid but it kept me busy. It was a fun little gadget and hope my kids think the same.

    This tamagotchi is not worth your time. This unit is missing many of the features of the original toy. And its super tiny.

    Not as I remember when I was a child. Much smaller and they die on their own very quickly even being taken care of.

    This simple toy, plain graphics has come back 20 years later... I can’t wait to pass this fun toy off to my niece that will hopefully enjoy it the way we did in the 90’s!

    My kids didn't seem to show any interest in this. To use to full color games I guess, but It does bring back memories from when I had one as a kid

    We bought this for our kid (age 6) to have something to take care of and for entertainment value. It has been great and he loves it. It is interactive (have to feed and clean up potty) and allows him to have a virtual pet. I remember these from my own youth and glad to see them getting made again and being an enjoyable toy for kids.
