   These are so fun!
   I got these for my kids and wife, they have been having a blast with them. Huge step up from the original and cheaper than the color screen ones. They don’t get boring like the old ones. So many things to do and they do different stuff a lot. Connecting them together to play is simple. Sometimes you have to try twice but no big deal. Buttons are very easy to press and feel sturdy. They are very cute and fun! My only problem was with the retro color one it needed a new battery within a week. If you need batteries go right to energizer batteries. Overall the colors are much brighter in person. Definitely a great purchase.

   I love my little Tamagotchi
   I was thrilled when I discovered the re-release of the Tamagotchi Connection! I remember seeing my friend with the original Tamagotchi and being so excited, but I was initially disappointed because I loved the Connection version the most. When I found out they were releasing it again, I bought it immediately.The quality is excellent, and the colors are vibrant. I got the see-through one, which is really cool, though it’s a bit hard to see in certain lighting. The entertainment value is fantastic, and there’s so much more to do with this upgraded version. It’s great value for the money and very easy to use.My coworker Amanda and I are already having so much fun with it. I named my Tamagotchi “Gunch,” and I love how expressive they are. This re-release is a wonderful mix of nostalgia and new features. Highly recommend!

   Great Tamagotchi fun!
   The Tamagotchi is bigger than I expected, bigger than the Tamagotchi original shells. The buttons feel great, and the games are very fun. I love the color and design of these shells, perfect for a couple! I initially got this for me and my boyfriend to play with, but he lost interest and it was difficult for me to play with two at once. It’s a really fun virtual pet, but I don’t think it’s necessary to have more than one.

   Pretty shell, nostalgic. (Sweet Charms)
   Was super excited seeing this one on Amazon. Had to have it immediately. Obviously it’s nostalgic for us people who had one or twelve growing up. I know the shell isn’t but it looks hand panted. The details are flawless. It’s just too darn cute!The screen is sometimes hard for me to make out though. Looks blurry at times. Which I am sure is the contrast. I will say that it’s clearer than the originals. It could also be because I am older with less vision. Doesn’t stop me from using it and getting joy and entertainment from it.I do recommend this Tamagotchi. Keep them coming Bandai

   Pure Nostalgia
   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!

   Poor battery life
   Battery died after only a week and needed replaced. My daughter loves playing with it but it drives me crazy with the constant beeping and needing to be cared for at all hours. Wish there was a mode to put it in when you are busy, like during school hours.

   Love it! Great retro toy even for adults
   Got this for me and my boyfriend. I missed this era of of tamagotchi and I’m so glad that I got this rerelease of the retro original tamagotchi connection line up. I’ve been playing this for few days now along with my boyfriend. We’re both adults but enjoy playing it during our free time. Works just like the old tamagotchi and you can also mute or pause the game if you need to. Recommend to play this with friends and connect your tamagotchis together! 🙂 It’s my boyfriend’s first time playing tamagotchi in general and he enjoys playing with it and the little mini games it has. The only thing is that since it’s like the original retro toy, there is no backlight behind the screen so it does get a little hard to see the screen unless you’re in a well-lit area. Just remember that this is supposed to be a rerelease of a retro toy so the simplicity of the design is the charm!

    I loved tamagotchis as a kid and was very excited to hear that Bandai was re-releasing the tamagotchi connection. I love the retro shell design straight from the 2000s and the toy is just as fun to play. I prefer to play with this toy over the gen 1 and gen 2 re-releases because there is a lot more to do in the tamagotchi connection. I am two weeks in and the battery the toy came with is still going. My only wish is that Bandai made the screen backlit so it would be easier to see your character. My package came in perfect condition and no defects.

    海外版たまコネ説明書、上半分英語で下半分日本語になっているとYouTubeなどで知り思い切って購入。にほんごに変えられるので大丈夫かと説明書に、にほんごという単語だけで後は英語でした。裏は別の外国語でした。小さく絵が書いてあったので、にほんごにできました。後は問題なく遊ぶことができました。レインボーカラフルでかわいいです。購入して良かったです。届くのも早くすぐ遊べました。
