The original Tamagotchi was first introduced in Japan in 1996 and was a huge craze. It wasn't long before Bandai introduced it to Europe and North America where the craze grew further. By late 1998 and 1999, the fad has began to die out. Tamagotchi products became rarer to find until production was stopped altogether. Despite many fans pleading for Bandai to create a new Tamagotchi, they refused for years, until 2004 when they were reintroduced with many new features. They created hundreds of new characters as well as bringing some of the older ones back. These new and improved Tamagotchi were called 'The Tamagotchi Connection' in America, 'Tamagotchi Plus' in Japan and 'Tamagotchi Connexion' in the United Kingdom, and Europe. On this page you can find out all about the many different versions that have been released over the years. Even more information can be found on the Japaneses page of this site. |

Oct 10, 2017 Tamagotchi will make its return in a world that doesn’t understand or need it. New, 20 comments. My attempt to relive my past didn’t go as planned.
Thanks to Bandai for providing the Tamagotchi to try out! This post isn’t sponsored and all opinions are my own.
Parenthood hit me hard 20 years ago when the Tamagotchi first came out. Sleepless nights of entertaining my digital child and picking up it’s virtual poos! I had an incredibly hard time keeping my Tama alive. I was only nine and had a very short attention span BUT STILL! Every death was pretty tragic for me lol.
Bandai was kind enough to send me their 20th anniversary edition of the Tamagotchi from my childhood! I have a second chance at being a good Tama mom! There are six different original Japanese styles, with 5 friends you remember and one Surprise Character! I LOVE SURPRISES!
Last year, the SB17 Team and I traveled to Japan, and on our adventures we rediscovered the newer Japanese versions of the Tamagotchis. These have a higher pixel density and are slightly larger than their originals and what’s even better—COLOR SCREENS! Only problem was, all the commands and menu options were written in Japanese. You can imagine our struggles! Needless to say, now having the opportunity to hold the new classic version in my hand fills me with heart-warming nostalgia. Oh, and see that little guy on my Japanese version below… that’s John and I’s Tamagotchi love child! He’s so cute! We’re good parents!
Tamagotchi Connection V3 Death Date
Honestly, even with all the crazy mobile technology we have packed right into our phones, these little guys stand apart. I see them even more as a fashion piece. Imagine all the looks I’ll get walking down the street with my Tama dangling from my Poke Purse! But seriously, I am probably more excited about this 20th anniversary edition than a grown woman should be. I can’t help myself!
They’re available for pre-order here: http://sb17.co/tamagotchi
Let me know if I’m not alone in all this excitement in the comments down below and if you want one too and what color!
Love you guys!
