Where do they dream up names like Yuruppy? Following in the footsteps of the faddish Tamagotchi from rival toy company Bandai, the Yuruppy is slated for a Japan rollout in June, at US$21. Takara Tomy has upped the ante here with a virtual pet that you can "pet" via the touchscreen. If you don't fancy a puppy, you can opt for a kitten or even the odd choice of a chicken. We're not sure how a Yuruppy chicken will respond to all this stroking, but we can always trust the Japanese to ensure that it'll be kawaii cute. There'll be a deluxe version (US$38) out in a larger screen so you can shower on more love and petting.
