    • For better or worse, it's the original Tamagotchi
My love for virtual pets from the 90's was re-ignited when I bought bandai's 20th anniversary re-issue of the original Digimon V-pet, which was literally Bandai's attempt to make a Tamagotchi marketed toward boys. I never personally felt like the toys were gendered so I loved them both as a kid. Well the Digimon re-issue had a high bar to clear, as it added tons of new features. You could battle AI foes. You could raise two digimon at the same time. You could choose from all of the different versions of the original digimon release giving you five times the number of digimon than the original release had, plus some new ones as well. You could also put your Digimon down for a 3 hour nap in case you were busy. This was all very unexpected to me and made it a much bigger value than I expected. I Well, being owned by the same company, I had high expectations for the Tamagotchi re-release. I don't think this is unreasonable, as the original Digimon is literally just a Tamgotchi with a multi-player battle mode. I was unfortunately let down. This is a perfect replica of the original 90's Tamagotchi. The casual buyer won't know this, but the original Tamagotchi comes in two versions, P1 and P2, and they both have completely different critters available on it, as well as a different mini-game. You can tell a P1 and a P2 apart because P1 will have checkered background, and P2 will have a wavy background. So you better know which one you want, or intend to buy them both, because you can't have both on one device. I don't know if this was done for the sake of being faithful for nostalgia sake, but I can't imagine there's that many purists who would bemoan some quality of life improvements for the modern age. To be fair, the Digimon pet was released in 2019 while the Tamagotchi came two years earlier, but I don't think that's an excuse. After all, a few years prior to that they had released a mobile phone remake of the original Tamagotchi that allowed you to choose between P1 and P2, and had an enhanced color mode that was completely free. They have since discontinued this app because it failed to give the results they were hoping for, which was to promote a fashion line, believe it or not. If you're absolutely itching for a classic digital pet experience, I'd recommend grabbing a 2019 Digimon while they're expensive. A much better value. But if you want the authentic 90's Tamagotchi experience, then this is basically the exact same as the old virtual pet that swept the world... they start off as needy little babies demanding undivided attention, and depending on how well you raise them, they'll either grow to become less needy, and stay healthy. For the record, you can't let their hearts dip below 2 empty hearts, or they'll evolve into the less desirable, more needy, sickness prone adults. You also can't ever give them sweets, as their weight will also lower their chances of evolving into self sufficient adults... really the only challenge in these things is getting over the super needy first three stages without letting it beep to get your attention. That's another negative, these little guys are loud. There is no volume settings, just mute, or loud. I don't remember Tamagotchis being as loud as this. I don't regret buying this thing, and I may end up buying another so I can have both P1 and P2, just for the sake of completing my small collection of virtual pets. But I think I may not come back to this one very soon after it's batteries dry up. I'm not entirely sure what the battery life is on these things but I heard some people have had to replace them as soon as three days after buying, and that's DEFINITELY not the Tamagotchi I remember, those little guys could go on for months. I do have to say that if you don't have a lot of free time, or you are easily distracted, don't buy this for yourself. Those first three stages require you to vigilantly check on it, and if you can't do that, it's not going to become easier in the adult stage, and certainly won't evolve into the secret stage. I also won't recommend this to children with attention issues, it's a bit dated for today's kids and is likely to distract kids when they shouldn't be playing with gadgets, and get neglected when something more interesting is in their grasp. This is more of a nostalgic novelty or a collector's item for virtual pet enthusiasts. And I can't state again, best bang for your buck when it comes to virtual pet nostalgia is the 2019 Digimon. ... show more

    • So hard to find but great!
This was so hard to find for a good deal and this was the best deal I found and I actually found one for boys which is hard to do at any other store. Brother loves it overall.

    • Not quite like I remember it
I purchased this for my daughter as a Christmas gift, as I had 4 different ones growing up and I loved them. It was beeping for attention every 10-15 mins. So my daughter was “over it” after the second day & let it die. I restarted it & tried to use it for myself. Nope, again, very needy. I don’t remember the original needing that much attention. ... show more

    • Every Bit of the Nightmare I Remember
Quality. Works well. Plays like I remember it playing when I was a kid. Unfortunately, I'm no better at taking care of the creature now than I was as a child. It bit the dust only 5 short days after beginning my first attempt. That is no reflection on the product, but rather my inability to keep a digital creature alive. ... show more

    • A blast from my past
I had one on these hanging on a zipper pull on my middle school backpack… come to think on it, everyone did. Not quite as fun as I remember but I’m ruined on modern technology. Exactly as I remember it.

Extremely irritated. I ordered two for birthday gifts for a set of twins. While one of them was fine, the other one was clearly used. It had no seal on the box and the box was bent. I examined the unsealed one and there are clear scuff marks all over it (see photos). To top it off, the three buttons did not work so I wasn’t able to get the tamagotchi set up for one of the kids. not wanting one kid to not have a functioning toy, I decided to open it up to see if there was anything I could fix. When I got it open there was obvious water damage because the circuit board where the buttons are was corroded. I was able to clean it off to get the buttons to work (mostly), but I will be sending it back. I can’t believe they would send a used and damaged product. ... show more

    • Good old days
It was nice to go back to those days for a bit. The battery lasts a very long time btw. I got bored quickly but thats most likely because I’m not a kid anymore lol

    • All good
My fiance and I were born in the 80's and this brought childhood memories back. He wanted the neon, I got the Sahara. We were very happy with the fast delivery and the packaging and products themselves were in perfect condition. Thanks !
