Tamagotchi Original - Sakura

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!

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!

The nostalgia is real! This Tamagotchi is gen 1 and it is very pretty. It has pink flowers and it is so much fun to relive this memory from when I was a kid. If you remember Tamagotchi's from your childhood, these are what you are thinking of. This is not a new one so if you are looking for a new version this is not it. This is a recreation from the 90's and I am so beyond happy they made a comeback. Cuteness! The little alien is so cute! You care for it and feed it and can even play a game with it. Be careful not to neglect it though because they can die, but you can also reset it if it dies too. Have fun with your new virtual pet! The memories this brought back from my childhood are real! What are you waiting for?

We can't keep our pet alive for very long but its been a fun Christmas present.

i have two original gen 3 connections from when i was in elementary school (2004?), along with two m!x’s (2016?), all four of which still work… but when i saw this specific one (the translucent blue with gold stars!) i HAD to have it! it works great, besides buttons occasionally not working (needing to be pressed twice for it to register). it’s a simple tama, only one game (guessing if a number will be higher or lower than the one shown, from 1 to 9, a being lower and b being higher) but it’s really cute and i’m happy. i probably won’t be keeping it active for a long time, and i always take out the batteries if im not going to be playing so it doesn’t get icky, so i expect it should last. i think the only thing im worried about is if the painted design will last, and if the buttons continue to work. i REALLY hope when they release the new connections, that there will be some similar to this in shell design! because i love my connections still and i would be SO happy to have more (and i wonder if they’ll be comparable with the old ones?? that would be awesome) i love my m!x’s but they’re only in japanese and the design isn’t quite as good (they’re just bigger mostly, and require either AA or AAA batteries rather than button batteries..) so i’m really happy to have a new one for the excitement (also $20 is significantly better than the $60 i paid for EACH of my m!x’s…) and i hope to get new connections too.. i think the only thing they could do to make a shell cooler than this one would be to have it glow in the dark! genuinely so happy to have this! i might have to buy another so i can have a display one and one that i don’t have to worry about feeling bad if i damage it…. UPDATE-first try and i got mimitchi!!

Bought this for my daughter for Christmas. She loves to play with it. Easy to use. It’s just like I remember when I was a kid

Works okay. Wish the direction was better. But over all it works

Nostalgic - though not as easy to navigate as I remember. Small learning curve for the button navigation for kids 8 and under.

The Tamagotchi I got for my 6-year-old niece has been a huge hit! It's fun, easy for her to use, and teaches responsibility in a playful way. Highly recommended for young kids who love interactive toys!

Always a great choice for kids. Helpful when driving on long trips as it gives them an activity to focus on.

I'm a 90's baby. I grew up with these things, and wish for simpler times. So I bought one for myself as a gift. Yes, I'm a 30+ year old man now, and have no time to actually take care of a virtual pet due to life and work getting in the way. So, my Tamagotchi unfortunately didn't live very long. However, while he was actually alive, he was very happy.

I am a bit disappointed at this Tamagotchi. The display is definitely very low in contrast and hard to see ( and not adjustable ). The entire thing just looks and feels cheap. The beeping sound is also super annoying as it is super loud compared to the originals. I don't know why Bandai instead of improving these, made it worse than the original Tamagotchi.

This is my new favourite thing. I'm almost 40 but yes, I do need (and now have!) a Tamagotchi. I think it's turning into a jellyfish! It was kind of annoying the first day but once it's out of that stage it's a lot less work and so much fun. The shell is adorable too. Everyone who sees it admires it (and probably wishes they had one too!) Love, love, love. A+ for the nostalgia!
