I’ve had loads of Tamagotchis in the past but this one is special with it’s lovely Red Glitter case and the gold bits.

This is an exact remake of the originals! It is great for nostalgia for those of us who were around for the dawn of virtual pets. It's like they took those original pets and put them in prettier cases. This one is very pretty! I want to address two issues I have seen mentioned in reviews for this new release. First, I have read they lack features that the originals had. No, the technology and software is identical to those originally released. These are simpler than the subsequent releases that some people may be thinking of. I have also heard people complain that the sounds are weird... It is the same pitchy beep that the originals had. Don't forget that these are essentially re-releases of old technology! I love it a lot, I loved these as a kid and have always been hopeful Bandai would make them again and it is great to have the exact same toy I had as a child. 5 stars!

Oh man, when I opened the box and saw this, I felt a phantom rush of childhood excitement. It felt sugary and carefree and ah! What a great feeling. It's exactly as I remembered the one I had in '98, and it worked great! Though, that ended up being the problem, that it worked. Maybe I liked how needy this pet was as a kid, but as an adult, that is THE LAST thing I want in my life. I just waited until the pet was happy and put it on pause and it's been living as a key chain ever since. Still gets a 5 stars because the product is exactly as expected!
