    5.0 out of 5 stars These are so fun!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2025
    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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I love my little Tamagotchi
    Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2024
    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!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Tamagotchi fun!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2025
    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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nostalgic + As Good As Original!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2024
    I am so happy that Tamagotchi Connection has made a return! I am an avid Tamagotchi fan and love the Connection series, so for them to return has made me overjoyed. The shell designs are all so cute and the features are almost exactly the same with just a few differences; one positive being that they combined features of both the English V3 Connection release as well as the Japanese 'V3' Connection release! There is also an option at start-up to choose between English and Japanese, which was not there before. Another positive is that there are a few more characters included than there were on the original version.

    One aspect I do want to mention is that they removed the Pause feature. The original English V3 had this feature while the Japanese V3 did not, so I understand why it is not in this version, however it is something to be aware of.

    Overall I am extremely satisfied with the newest Tamagotchi Connection and will continue to enjoy them!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Nostalgia
    Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2024
    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!
