My daughter was so excited to get one! I was even excited since I used to have many of these when I was little. Glad they brought them back out.

Im glad I was able to get one. They sold out so fast. But its upsetting to see amazon overprice the one with flowers.
When i saw the description saying the color varied, I knew I would get the one I wanted. Ofcourse the one with the flowers.

My child let her critter die from inattention. So sad! This is kind of kitsch, but it is a better way to pass the time then Candy Crush and other such similar apps. If you like retro like I do it's worth giving this a go.

The Tamagotchi looks just like the ones from the late 90s and appears to work the same. Great for people looking for a nostalgic memory. I purchased this for my niece and she has enjoyed it. It's been dropped a few times and has held up.

Tamagotchi dies too fast

I had one of these as a child so I was really excited to know that they've made a comeback with my kiddo's generation. At 9 yrs old she's into little things like this. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to her (or my) expectations. I don't remember Tamagotchi's dieing so fast. I get the gist of it needing attention, but it was as if you had to play with it 2 or 3 times a day. It died so many times that she ended up losing interest and now it's at the bottom of the toy box.

I had one of these as a kid and jumped at the opportunity to re-live that nostalgia. However it turns out the with the over stimulation provided by the graphics of modern day video games that we have grown accustomed to these type of games pale in comparison and quite frankly just come off as annoying and needy now. The pixels are faded and hard to discern what you’re seeing the character do. It’s overpriced for what it is by today’s standards and just doesn’t hit the same as it once did when we were younger and perhaps more patient, imaginative and desperate for entertainment.

Worth the price for the nostalgic factor, but the build quality was not great. The casing is lightweight plastic, and the screen is terribly dim. The buttons are squishy.

Got this for my wife as a gift. Brings back our childhood. Only negative thing abt it, is that it wakes up in middle of the night and makes a fire-alarm sound that startles you.

This is a weird toy, but my kids love it! On the plus side, a virtual pet is way easier to take care of than a real one!

This Tamagotchi was delivered quickly and is just like the generation 2s from the 90's. My 6 year old loves it.
