Those who grew up in the early 2000s may remember the electronic pet toy called Tamagotchi. But if you don't, here's a chance to get to know it. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Tamagotchi, Bandai has announced a rereleased version dubbed the Tamagotchi Connection.
According to the announcement, the Tamagotchi Connection will keep its 2004 version's iconic design. It features the same antenna and comes in six colours - Bubbles, Ice Cream, Rainbow Sky, Clear Retro, Blue, and Pink Graffiti. Bandai has given the six colours a modern spin, so they should look noticeably different from the retro version. They also come with chains, so you or your children can attach them to their backpacks.
Feature-wise, the Tamagotchi Connection is the same as the original. You will get a digital pet/character and must feed it, play games with it, and care for its health. The pet will grow according to how you take care of it. Moreover, playing games earns you Gotchi Points, which you can use to grab in-game items. You could also link your Tamagotchi Connection to a friend's for various activities.
The Tamagotchi Connection is priced at USD30 (~RM141) and will launch on 7 July 2024. Buying two means a small discount for a total of USD58 (~RM272). Mind you, we don't know if the new Tamagotchi will be made available in Malaysia. But would you get one if you can? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for more news like this.
