Tamagotchi has been around at least two decades ago, when it initially became a hit to kids worldwide. It’s a virtual pet game in which a particular pet is programmed, and the user is obliged to take care of it. It’s portable, with the size of a “lengthwise-flat egg”, having a wide range of pet choices such as dinosaur, dog, cat, mouse, and many more. It’s virtual, meaning it makes use of interactive commands from the user (e.g. round the clock feeding, playing, bathing, and cleaning-up for pee). Any failure of providing the virtual pet with any of its basic needs results to death of the pet, and requires restarting to begin a new game with a new pet, starting over from it being an egg.
Today, tamagotchi not only maintains its stand in the toy market, but it also innovates just like most gaming consoles available. Now there is a wide variety of modifications to virtual pets. Recently, Bandai, the creator of modern tamagotchi, introduced its newest model of tamagotchi, the tamagotchi music star. It has the feature of various musical careers for the virtual pets. Aside from that, it also has more unique and rare items and foods available for the pet, not to mention its infrared capabilities which enable 2 tamagotchi users to connect with each others’ device to play and/or marry. Cool connectivity can now be experienced by the virtual pets via tamagotchitown.com, a website where the user could play online games as represented by his or her virtual pet, for a chance to win coins which can be used for purchasing pet’s items via TV shopping inside the device.
Other previous models of tamagotchi are version 5 (familitchi), version 4.5, version 4, and version 3. These are available in any major toy stores worldwide.
