Tamagotchi Connection True Friends - Blue Graffiti and Pink Graffiti

Reminds me of simpler times. Pros: (1) Not rechargeable and uses cell batteries that should last for about a month or so, if it’s anything like the original tamagotchis; rechargeable batteries have a shelf life so when they’re done, they’re done. (2) It’s a mixture of several tamagotchi connections (Japanese and English versions) and is the most like the v3 in style and functionality, so there are a lot of things to do. (3) There’s a lot of fun games to play, items to collect, and adorable characters to raise; the screen stays on so you can see different animations of your tamagotchi hanging out all day. (4) The connection function adds more games and interactions to “connect” and grow relationships and marry. (5) I find that the tamagotchi isn’t quite as needy as an adult. (6) Materials are sturdy but I have a crochet cover on mine and I plan to put a screen protector on it. Buttons are firm and responsive. (7) The sound isn’t very loud and piercing; it seems like they lowered the tones and cut them shorter when compared to the originals. (8) The new shells are fun, but the bubbles is my favorite in this wave; based on an interview with Tara from Bandai, there are going to be more waves of shell releases every season. Cons: (1) No pause, but you could take out your battery or go to the clock “set” function to “pause” or hibernate; or you could change the time to line up the tamagotchi’s sleep schedule with your schedule. (2) The contrast is low, meaning the background is dark and the pixels don’t have enough contrast to be seen against the dark background, so you have to be under a bright light to see the screen or tilt it at the right angle under a bright light; the originals had higher contrast and the screen was not as dark. (3) Japan released their own tamagotchi connection shells that I found more attractive than the US global release shells (e.g, Melon Soda); I wish the Japanese shells were released globally. I am ecstatic that Bandai brought the connection back; I’m looking forward to seeing more shells and perhaps updates to the functionality so that we could experience the v4-v6 connection features (e.g., getting jobs = more games, raising multiple tamagotchis, themes) as well. Thank you, Bandai!

These are so cute! My eight and 12-year-old really like these. Make sure you get the Tamagotchi connection ones so you can be friends with other people. They’re more interactive and fun for the kids.

I got these for me and my friend and they were so cutee! It lets you turn down the volume if needed too. You can connect it with your friends so your little tamagotchis can visit each other’s world. The battery dies in about 3-4 weeks and when you put new ones in it resumes back to where you were. The batteries for it are like $8 for a pack of 10 and you can find those on amazon too!!

Very colorful, worth every penny, high quality and love the multiple games and functions added, also long battery life! Getting another one for my other daughter soon!

I named him Jimmy >:3 he is so cute, has lots of games to play then the old versions and way more character model things you can get then my last one did, its good quality and its a good size. plus easy to navigate around in the menus and things. def worth the money and a good gift for someone who would be into something like this. the only downside I've had is how often i have to change the battery, luckily it doesn't reset the whole thing when it dies the only problem is the date and time will be off if you don't change it right away which can get annoying if he ends up being awake while your asleep.

This tamagotchi is just like the one I had as a child. Fun for kids and adults to keep the little creature alive. The tamagotchi has generations of new ones. The games are fun and it is easy to use. Requires only a small amount of time to keep the creature alive.

This tamagotchi connection v3 is awesome! It's a great small size so I can bring it anywhere and I use mine as a bag charm. It's really fun to play and hear the alerts going off when your pet needs you, I can't comment on durability as I bought a case for mine straight away and it has protected it from any scratches that would have otherwise occurred from it rolling around inside my purse. The color is fabulous and the buttons are cute matching pink. The bows are pretty and girly. I love looking after my new tamagotchi!

Great purchase. The screen has become difficult to see at the bottom for some reason, it's like there is a never-ending glitch line that goes across the bottom. I purchased the Neon Stars and Sweet Charms at the same time and the Sweet Charms has the same issue but it's even worse. The letters to give a new Tama a new name is not visible and we are just pressing buttons and have no idea what we are typing in because the glitch covers more of the bottom of that screen. Even with this issue, it is still a great little device and my kids still play with them.

誕生日プレゼントです。 まだ、使い切れない年齢ですが親のほうが楽しんでます。 箱潰れなく早くに届きました! プレゼントにいいかと思います。

Works great, a nice nostalgic purchase. Battery lasts if you turn sound off while playing the games. Just a useful tip I learned. Overall it's a great toy for any she or anyone wanting to relive their childhood.

Great buy! My adult daughter loves it and it arrived super quickly!

日本語対応でとても面白く可愛かったです。ですが画面に傷はつきやすいので注意したほうがいいかもしれません
