    • So cute and nostalgic
Color: Lovely Angel
I absolutely love this Tamagotchi. The Lovely Angel design is adorable, and it brings back so much nostalgia while still being fun to play with now. It works exactly as expected, the buttons are responsive, and the screen is clear. It’s small enough to carry around easily and makes a great little stress reliever or throwback gift. If you grew up with Tamagotchis or just want something cute and simple to play with, this one is definitely worth it. ... show more

    • Nostalgic Fun for a New Generation. Just Wish It Had a Pause Button!
Color: Starry Shower
I bought this Tamagotchi for my son, and he absolutely loves it! What a blast from the past I grew up playing with one myself, and it’s so special to see my child now enjoying the same classic toy. It’s fun, engaging, and teaches a bit of responsibility, which is great. However, one downside is that there's no way to pause the game. As a young child, my son sometimes forgets to take care of his Tamagotchi, and he gets really sad when it "leaves *_*" I wish there were an option to pause or put it on hold, especially for younger users who can’t monitor it all day. Pros: Nostalgic and fun Great for kids Encourages responsibility Cute and engaging gameplay Cons: No pause feature not ideal for younger children who can’t always keep up Overall, it’s a wonderful toy that brings back great memories and creates new ones. I would definitely purchase again! ... show more

    • OG tamagotchi!
Color: Starry Shower
While the new tamagotchis are fun, the OG will forever be a favorite and I appreciate its simplicity. This shell is super cute and very durable, no issues at all!

    • Almost clone of the original
Color: Lightning
The Tamagotchi original lightning is a modern iteration of the classic virtual pet toy, designed to be easier to care for than its predecessor. This makes it more accessible to a younger audience, with a recommended age of 7 and up. However, users should exercise caution with the snacks provided, as they have the potential to harm the creature, adding an element of responsibility and strategy to the gameplay compared to the original. The toy successfully taps into nostalgia for millennials who grew up with the original Tamagotchi, while also offering a fresh and engaging experience for younger children. Additionally, it’s slightly lighter in weight than the original units of the 90s. Overall, it combines the charm of the past with contemporary features, making it a versatile and appealing choice for a wide range of users. ... show more

Color: Candy Swirl (Updated Logo)
I never had a classic Tamagotchi as a kid, but I realized as an adult, with money, I can finally indulge in this virtual pet experience! I love the swirly colourful case, and the whole unit is a lot lighter than I was expecting for some reason. I am only just slightly annoyed that the price sometimes varies so much per case design, which feels kinda arbitrary considering the gameplay is exactly the same on each unit from what I can tell. The screen is pretty clear, though seeing the menu selection items under certain lighting conditions is really difficult. I have had no trouble using the original battery it came with; the battery life seems reasonable to me. On my first play my Tama got the PeterPan glitch; it refused to grow up, and suddenly died for no reason at all (I was obsessively monitoring it). After I unscrewed the battery case (which was not an easy task and needed a tiny screwdriver), took out the battery for a few minutes, and pressed the reset button for good measure, the second Tama evolved into a child just fine. It is really fun to play, and for the most part the Tamas do not seem to be quite as needy as I was anticipating, so I'm glad I don't have to quite so obsessively keep track of their needs. The one 'which side' guessing game can feel a little frustrating and it would be nice to have another game mode, but I suppose this is the original classic experience, so I appreciate that for what it is. I do wish the alert sound for when the Tama has pooped was much louder (if there is any sound at all, I've never been able to catch it), because it makes keeping the Tama clean a bit harder than when say, its needs are critically low, or it gets sick for some reason, or needs disciplining. ... show more

    • High quality, brand new, not fun
Color: Rock Glitter
Came as advertised, new and great, not a fun thing to play with. It's expensive for what it is and it is not fun.
