Tamagotchi Connection

Juniper Foo | Aug 12, 2004

Just like virtual pets to regenerate when you thought you'd seen the last of these kawaii Tamas. Japanese toy maker Bandai has hatched a devious upgrade to hook a global-scale following of kids and adults whom we at CNETAsia shall label the Tamagotchas. Reborn here and in the US as Tamagotchi Connection, in Europe as Tamagotchi Connexion, and in Japan as Tamagotchi Plus, the next-gen version is slightly larger than the original, with a bigger screen, improved graphics, and the ability to name the creature up to five characters. But the biggest enhancement has to be the infrared port, which allows owners to matchmake their pets, exchange gifts, marry them and even encourage them to breed. Now won't the Singapore Government just love that...

Price: Suggested price of S$29.95
Availability: Action City outlets in Singapore, toy stores worldwide
Device: Virtual pet toy
Basic specs: Infrared, 33g (including battery), 49 x 17 x 58mm, 1 CR2032 battery, available in six colors (white, black. pink, aqua, yellow, blue)
