Tamagotchi On - Fairy (Pink)

Okay I am in my 30s, so I grew up with the Tama gotchi rave. I must say these little devices came a long way from what we use to know. Comparing an old (90s) one that I had you could see very obvious patterns in the scripting. Like every 3 feeds mean poo, every 2 poos mean shots, every feed = 1 play. This a never ending repeating cycle to wrack up points. The design of these are way different as the scripts are seemingly a bit more random generated events. Like you can play your pet to death, and your not forced to feed per game or two. I have noticed the good ol basic medical script seems to still be the samish but with additions, but that is pretty much it, but can be altered by getting them to the bathroom on time. But they also added the chance to get sick when "visiting friends" (other tamas). Which adds to the experience. The basic 3 button controls are the same (select menu, choose, and cancel). But the color is super nice, and the room designs make it feel like there is a little room inside of that little screen. The only real thing I would personally change about it. Is my town/store to my town/mall. Because that is where 2 minigames are. Aside from that I love that you can discover new locations, and the tips are given in game. Like a visit to the park a Tama goes "I always go to restaurants and eat this because it expands my world" or something along those lines. Which is the first tip for the first unlock. The downside is one of them does require a second Tama to unlock (while resetting that 2nd one) to unlock a zone. As you need 2 people to visit, however resetting a second and then inviting the second to the unlock place does unlock it for both. Overall the interactive app you can get on your phone is very cute, and has two games on it including finding friends and dates. Oh and I can't stress this enough, this game has real season themes and weather, snow, rain etc.. holidays, owner birthday recognition, and so much more. I will agree with other reviewers when they say they could of used a better screen, so here is a nice tip. When you get your shipment let it rest to room tempature if it is cold outside, or if it was raining. The plastic keeps the humidity out, and letting it rest will help stop the screen from contracting and expanding due to natural air bubbles built in glass (thin screens are more noticable with this effect, but remember glass is just melted sand). So let it go to room tempature before exposing the actual item and it shouldn't look as bad as some of the others. I did this with 2 of mine, and only 1 micro scratch appeared. About 1mm off to the side. The second one has none. But they do sell screen protector 4packs which might be worth a grab if your interested. Now for the price tag, keep in mind that games overall have gotten smaller, this thing is 2-3x the size of a tamagotchi from the 90s. It contains Bluetooth, etc. If the 60$ tag is a turn off remember those, nintendopets also sold at 60$ and didn't have much of an on the go feature without the system itself- which was another 200$. Because I understand these pointers I marked it as a 4* in value. This is that with no console required. If your still on the fence get one of the cheaper ones. If you don't love it, Amazon does have a 30day. I love mine, and hope you love yours to. These will do better for those that loved them as kids, then today's spoiled youth, "if there is no micro transactions it ain't worth it".

I was one of those kids with a keychain blob of Tamagotchis and other digital pets in the 90s, so when I saw these newer Tamagotchis finally get an English release, I had to get one... and then another one! My friend also got two. No issues with scratched screens on arrival as mentioned in other reviews (though the screens do scratch extremely easily, so you will need to be careful), but one of my friend's boxes had a huge rip through it so it sounds like there are quality issues with the packaging/physical product design in general. As far as the Tamagotchi game goes, I thought $60 was a bit steep, but I still got two of them so they're definitely worth it if you like digital pets. The artwork and character animations are really cute, and the different locations and items are nice. The amount of characters you start with is limited, but the whole focus of this set of Tamagotchis is marrying them and breeding them for different character combinations and traits. This is definitely the most fun part for me, and while you do need two Tamagotchis to unlock all of the locations and characters, there's also a phone app that lets you do matchmaking with other players and the monthly app-specific character. This way you still have a chance to get traits from characters you don't have. You can also get extra items and Gotchi points from the app as well, though right now there's not much you can do beyond that. Once your Tamagotchi is 2nd generation, you can have its parents watch it most of the day so you don't have to worry about it getting sick or dying while you're at school or work which is a huge plus and makes the game feel more chill. Sometimes your Tamagotchis will have two kids instead of one (though they're effectively one character in the game) which means more chances for fun gene combos. The only real complaint I have about these is the battery life. I have a set of high powered rechargeable AAA batteries, which you'll definitely need since these things eat through batteries like they're nothing. I get a Low Battery screen about once a week. This seems pretty ridiculous to me, especially since the batteries are only half drained when I take them out to charge them. My friend got a pack of non-rechargeables and only gets slightly better battery life than I do even with minimal use. I'd love to see them bring over more of the Japanese characters either through the app or a future release, but as-is, these are fantastic if you loved the original Tamagotchis! And they're great for newcomers as well. Just watch out for the battery life.

I owned several tamagotchis when I was younger (I am now 26 y/o). When I saw the Tamagotchi On, I was hesitant to buy it because of the price. But, now that I have played with my Wonder Garden tamagotchi for a week, I can confidently say it is 100% worth the price. This tamagotchi has SO many more features than the Connection series. Here are my favorite aspects: - tamagotchi On requires a low daily time commitment, which is perfect for anyone with a job - backlit screen so you can easily play at night - size of the tamagotchi is comfortable to hold (the originals are too small in my opinion) - colorful animations - tons of items and accessories for your tamagotchi - your tamagotchi can have its own pet, which can also get married and have pet babies - several different locations to unlock, each with their own shops and games - ability to connect via bluetooth to an iPhone app, where you can play more games and make friends/marry other people's tamagotchis - when your tamagotchi marries, the new tamagotchi baby inherits traits from both of the parents... so you end up with a unique tamagotchi! - keeps track of all your tamagotchi generations through a family tree The only cons that I see: - if you like the original characters, this may not be for you as you will end up with a unique tamagotchi after a few generations - does NOT come with its own AAA batteries or a mini screwdriver, so you have to buy those in advance (and batteries die faster than the original tamagotchis) I showed my Tamagotchi On to a couple of my friends, and they liked it so much that they are also looking into buying one. I am overall very satisfied!

After years of buying Japanese color Tamagotchi, I'm so excited to have an English release (in the photo, the English ON's are the Pink Fairy and Purple Magic; the rest are Japanese releases)! The case I am using in the second picture is a GUND Pusheen the Cat Pusheenicorn pencil case! It's super cute, very soft, has a zipper for extra security, and holds 4 Japanese Tamagotchi. I cut out little foam circles to put between my Tamas for extra screen protection and the last two are just back to back. If you have a Japanese Tamagotchi Meets, this is exactly the same, just in English - including all the ways to unlock the different "towns". If you're new to the Meets/ ON, you need to know that you unlock Tamagotchi Sports Plaza (called the Gym in the ON) by visiting with two other Tamagotchi. This means unless you know two people also buying an ON, you need to buy at least TWO Tamagotchi ON. Here's what you'll need to do if you want to unlock Sports Plaza/ Gym yourself: Buy two Tamagotchi, for my example we'll assume you buy a Fairy and a Magic. Start up your Tamagotchi. After 1 hour, the babies will become toddlers. Now you will be able to travel around the town and *visit other tamagotchi by using the pink heart icon (Connection)* . On BOTH Tamagotchi, select the pink heart, choose Tamagotchi >Play Date. One Tamagotchi will go visit the other. Now choose one of your Tamagotchis to RESET. We'll assume you choose to reset the Magic Tamagotchi. Do this by holding down the push button on the back of the Tamagotchi. It will ask if you want to reset and if you're sure. Yes. Now you have a baby on the Magic and a Toddler on the Fairy. The Fairy will have recorded that you met one new friend. When the Magic baby becomes a toddler, visit the Fairy again by choosing Tamagotchi >Play Date. Now the Fairy will have recorded meeting TWO friends. When the play date is over, on your Fairy Tamagotchi, go to the Item Box> Item and choose the BALL. A special animation will play and you will have unlocked the GYM ! :D But now how do you get the Gym in your Magic?.... You will again choose the pink heart on both Tamagotchi. But now choose Tamagotchi> TRAVEL. You want the Fairy to INVITE and the Magic to VISIT. On the Fairy, invite to the GYM. The Tamagotchis will both go to the GYM and play. When Magic returns home, a ticket will come floating from the sky and unlock the GYM in the Magic! This works for all unlocked destinations in one tamagotchi to unlock them in a second. It doesn't have to be a Magic to a Fairy. It can be Magic to Magic, Fairy to Fairy, whatever :)

Let's start with the good. I love the device and gameplay! The app function is not intuitive at all, but when you figure out how to use it, it does its job well. The Tamagotchi itself feels great in the palm of the user's hand and has a bit of weight to it. The sounds are classic V-Pet style one-note-at-a-time chiptunes and they sound about as well as you'd expect. I'm impressed with the color screen overall, but for some reason all of the brand new, freshly opened Tamagotchi On models that I have seen all have hairline scratches on the screen and scuffs around the body as if they've been used before. Mine even had what looked like cardboard dust under the protective shield over the screen, sitting on the LCD screen itself. This seems to be a common issue from the warehouse that they're built in, and they could do with more quality checks before moving forward. I would also touch on the subject of packaging. The Japanese release was an appropriately sized box that was big enough to hold the Tama and the packing materials. The US release has one of the most ridiculous package-to-product ratios I've ever seen. I'm assuming Bandai made this decision thinking that the size of the box would lend to an illusion that you're getting more product for your buck; having the package in hand looks like it should contain a lot, but the Tamagotchi itself in the upper quarter of the packaging is all that's included other than the manual, which would have fit behind the area where the Tama is located with ample room leftover. The entire bottom portion of the box is empty, a shameful waste of resources. (They could have even included cheapo batteries in this massive empty space!!) All in all, this is totally worth it if you can find one on sale for an appropriate $40, but I'd say it's definitely not worth the full $60 price tag.

I bought 3 of these, one for myself, my wife, and my 5 year old and we've had a great time playing with them. You can't really interact with eachother as much as I'd like. For example playing games together, but you can visit and get a lot of neat little things for doing so, build up relationships, marry, and have a new pet from that marriage. I find these can be a great tool to teach responsibility as the first few stages really require a lot of attention and you need to take care of them or they'll get sick, hungry, unhappy, and eventually pass away. Don't worry though it's not a one time use, you can start over again as much as you'd like. The App is definitely a tad disappointing as it looks like it offers so much more than it does. It's really only good for marrying the Japanese only versions of the tama and getting the genes from say hello kitty or the fantasy ones and for items you can't get in the game. I urge you look up tamatown as Theres a wonderful app that someone who visited Japan brought their tama and grabbed all the data they could from the tama kiosks there, brought it back, and made an application for the pc that allows you to make your own character, marry them, give yourself money, and items. You can even add the characters to the parks so that way you still have to work for the marriage and not feel like you're cheating. It's a great app, I encourage you read the instructions though. I found it's helped with my daughter's because she doesn't have to do that daily grind for coins and what have you since she's only 5 And some, not all, of the mini games are a bit challenging. They're simple to learn but hard to really get the max 200 coin each time unless you have a fast thumb or good reflexes. Anyway I recommend this to anyone looking for something fun, entertaining, and light hearted for the family. I drive over the road and it's just added to that pool of stuff to talk about and show when I'm gone. It's truly great! I hope Japan might decide to give us more in the future, the tamas just arnt as popular over here like they use to be and they're still huge over there I mean kiosks?! That's awesome.

This is a GREAT toy. I have been a fan of Tamagotchi since series 1 came out in the 90's. This is far and away the best virtual pet Ever. It is larger and sturdy with a beautiful color scheme in purple and sparkled. The button set up is unchanged, which makes it a snap to learn. The screen is slightly recessed to avoid scratching, but is beautiful, bright and color display with very fluid graphics. The Tama device has several things and places to go and do and see. There is a camera to take pics of your tama daily as it grows. There is several games to play to generate money to then buy such things as a scooter or maybe vr goggles. Take it in the yard to play or go to the park or store things to do and see everywhere. You can even take it to a restaurant for sushi. Connect your tama to other tama if they get close, they say hi. All of this is included with the egg. Download the app for an entire new world of play, with a carnival to enjoy. An arcade and various other options will keep you playing with this for hours. Great job BanDai

I had the original back in the day and this one is so amazing compared to the original. It's beautiful-I love the sparkle!!! Mine did have some super light scratches on the screen (I got the first batch), but not enough for me to care, and I'm picky, and it didn't affect the quality of the screen when it was turned on. I also bought a screen protector from a different website. I'm also sooo happy that I can leave it at the Tama Hotel or it's Parents (after Gen 1) while I'm at work. It's super low maintenance! The games are meh. They are too easy, but it's how I get money and they are the right length. I wish they got more difficult when my Tama becomes an adult and that I could earn more money. I do hope they expand games with updates. I had to Google how to unlock stuff because the unlocking of lands is not remotely intuitive and there are no directions. I suppose that is part of the fun, but for example, I would never guess or probably even srumble upon the fact that I had to eat the same food five times in a row to change the color, or that I had to do it twice and then go to the yard to unlock the Salon. A couple of things I'd like to see in the future are as follows: *Crisper screen. *More than two games on the app and the games should be more like the Tamagotchi Forever app, which is a MUCH better app. *More challenging games. *More variety in app prizes and events. A month with one character is too long. *Thought it was weird that under the explore my town that I had to go to SHOP to go to game, so maybe make GAME its own thing. *Ability to have more than one pet and/or save parent pet when baby is born. *Better instructions. *Include Batteries/Small Screw Driver/Reset Pin, but better yet, make it rechargable. *Don't have it require to connect with other Tamagotchi's to unlock the Gym because it's pricey and other people, especially adults, may not have anyone to connect with. So yes, I have a list of improvements, but it still gets rated a five star because I love it and it's fun! I'm very happy with my purchase and if you loved the original you will love this one. Also please bring the other Meets to America!!!!

Offert à mon fils qui voulait un compagnon virtuel dont il pourrait être le « papa ». Il est tellement plus beau et plus interactif que celui de mon enfance ! Tout est écrit en anglais mais dans un langage simple si bien que mon fils de 7 ans se l’est approprié facilement. Le tamagotchi est coloré dans un univers de dessin animé qui me donne envie d’y jouer moi aussi. Deux bémols toutefois : - il faut s’en occuper très (trop) souvent sinon il meure et on repart de zéro. On ne compte plus les morts... mon fils n’a jamais dépassé la 4eme génération (il y en a 99 de mémoire). - en France, on ne peut pas télécharger l’application tamagotchi réservée au marché américain, ce qui limite certaines fonctionnalités... Très dommage !

arrived quickly and i love it :)

En perfecto estado, llegó muy rápido y estoy demasiado contento, lo recomiendo un montón 💖

Este es mi segundo tamagotchi, realmente lo recomiendo, tienes para jugar y hacer combinaciones de tamagotchi infinitas. El juego se complementa con la app, donde puedes obtener items y wallpapers especiales, también la posibilidad de casar a tu tamagochi con personajes especiales o con el tamagotchi de algún usuario. Puedes obtener combinaciones realmente adorables.

Good content in the tamagotchi, the mix feature is really cool and app work wonderful (make sure your phone has bluetooth 4.0). the app is region locked to a few places but there are third party places to get the app just ask the community for help. common complaint is that there is too little games, but that is not a problem with me, the way I see it is that games you'd play with your dog or cat are going to be equally benign as what is on here. total 4 games. if you are keen on more games you should get the tamagotchi pix there is more there, but missing out on the app and mix is something I can't do :,( another change is the fact that your tamagotchi don't die of old age. with sufficient care and batteries they can live forever if you don't marry them off. Depends how you look at it, I personally would like them to die (circle of life, you know). you can use polywatch to polish the plastic if you want other people talk about the scratches being a downside but I assure you that there is no deep scratches, most of the scratches they are talking about most likely come from the manufacturing process, this kind of plastic is very prone to it and, other products I own using similiar material also come with microscratches so don't worry too much about it (go to a physical store if you are worried about it)
