Product Information

Hungry and Happy Meters: Filling the meters before they empty completely is good quality care, while allowing them to empty before filling them is bad care. The sooner the user responds to an empty heart, the better.

Akihiro and Aki were jointly awarded an Ig Nobel Prize, credited as "the father and mother of Tamagotchi" for "diverting millions of person-hours of work into the husbandry of virtual pets" [1]. As Tamagotchi was garnering a sizable female audience, the duo would later create Digimon using the same groundwork and overall concept as Tamagotchi, but with a more masculine style and added training and battling in an attempt to increase virtual pet appeal to males. Additionally, Bandai would go to experiment with other virtual pets. The Tamagotchi effect, how humans develop emotional attachments and reactions to artificial life, was named after Tamagotchi. A 1997 Hong Kong Collector's Edition generation 1 model is part of the M+ museum in Hong Kong, which opened in 2021 [2].Tamagotchi Connection Version 1 • Tamagotchi Connection Version 2 • Tamagotchi Connection Version 3 • Tamagotchi Connection Version 4 ( 4.5) • Tamagotchi Connection Version 5 ( Celebrity) • Tamagotchi Music Star • TamaTown Tama-Go • Tamagotchi Friends ( Dream Town Digital Friend) Today, the Tamagotchi comes to us a little different than they used to be. How Is the New Tamagotchi Different Today? A popular type of modern Tamagotchi is the Mini Tamagotchi. It’s 60% smaller than the original but has the same egg-shaped design with a tiny LCD screen. The Tamagotchi’s Growth Stages Raise your Tamagotchi character from egg to adult! Watch your character grow in the palm of your hands. Here’s a glimpse of the Tamagotchi character’s stages of life:

Where a failure does not amount to a major failure, Mr Toys is entitled to choose between providing you with a repair, replacement or other suitable remedy. Pressing the A and C buttons simultaneously will disable or enable the sound, indicated by a unique beep. This can only be done on the main screen, and won't work if the Tamagotchi is dead or in the middle of a specific animation, such as pooping or dying. If the Tamagotchi evolves within fifteen minutes of a discipline call, the user will still have a chance to discipline them until the attention icon turns off as usual. Mikachu began painting the shells of the devices different colors and brought them to school with her, gaining the attention of her classmates. As more species of Tamagotchi were discovered, Banzo sent more of the devices to research facilities in other parts of Japan, and eventually across the world.After their initial production and release between 1996 and 1998, replica units were released in Japan in 2017 to celebrate the brand's 20th anniversary. In 2018, the models were distributed globally, and have since been released seasonally with new shell designs. The Discipline icon is used to scold the Tamagotchi for misbehavior. Occasionally, the Tamagotchi will call for attention when its Hungry and Happy meters are not completely empty, and refuse to eat or play games. When this occurs, the user must use the Discipline icon. When used correctly, a special sound effect will play and the attention icon will turn off. Using the icon when the Tamagotchi is not misbehaving will cause it to lose a Happy heart. The amount of discipline the Tamagotchi receives directly affects what they grow up into. Each successful punishment adds 25% to the discipline meter, but the discipline level may be reduced by evolution. The icon is a syringe on all Japanese versions, and on all English generation 1 models. For English generation 2 models in 1997, it is a bottle of medicine with a spoon. On the 2017 rereleases, the icon is a syringe on all versions in all regions.
