‘Let’s see how you do with your Tamagotchi before we start thinking about a dog…’ was the line my parents fed me in the mid 90s, and something I’d wager a lot of other kids heard too.
The handheld virtual pet was the first foray into responsibility for many a 90s kid, well brace yourself gen alpha, because it is your turn.
Yep, Tamagtochis are back, 23 years on since Bandai’s original 1996 invention.
The Japanese company behind the virtual pet launched an ‘original’ version of the toy in 2017 to mark their 20th anniversary, and as reported by Wired, a new incarnation has been launched for 2019.
Life for a Tamagotchi has improved greatly since the dark, colourless egg screens of the late 90s, however, reflecting where the added cost is going. The digital pets are able to go on playdates with others, and they can also get married now – in colour – fancy that?
I never had one of these, but my sister did - and, they were certainly cute .
Question is, in the days of ubiquitous smartphones, can such a thing work?
