How much nostalgia id too much nostalgia?
I love it!!!!! The case it's soon beautiful and works great. The screen gets a little dark when you're outside or if there's too much light but it's totally worth it. Gameplay it's simple but entertaining. Just as I remembered. (Mine it's sleeping on the photo)

Nostalgic and fun for all ages
I absolutely love this Tamagotchi! It brings back so many childhood memories while still being fun and engaging today. It’s simple to use, interactive, and keeps you entertained as you take care of your virtual pet. The design is super cute, and the quality is great. It’s perfect for both kids and adults who want a bit of nostalgia. Definitely a fun little device to have or even give as a gift!

Great Desk Toy. Great toy for kids. (For under $20)
Its a simple tamagotchi. This is an angel one and only has 5 final characters apparently. I like it so far and for the sale price its worth it. (Under $18 at time.) I am a 36yo man and wanted a desk toy to get off my phone but also remind me to take breaks from my computer screen and desk during work. Tamagotchi does just that. I work from home so I can leave the beeps on and get reminders. I am thinking of getting some for my nieces and nephews. Just be careful youre getting the kind you want, there are regular tamagotchi and angel tamagotchi. And yes there is a way to turn off the sound. Wish it had a pedometer feature in 2026. 5 stars for under $20 price.

Incredibly pretty!
A beautiful, iridescent shell. The gameplay itself is endearingly simple, but it could get repetitive if you're looking for something more involved. The battery has lasted a surprisingly long time for me (months).

Retro Toy for the win!
Perfect gift for my younger sister. She enjoys it a lot, and is always playing with it. It is very pretty to look at and she had a hard time picking out which one she wanted. I don't think she will lose this toy anytime soon. The only reason it gets 4 stars is that it took 3 weeks to arrive. Other than that, it was perfect!!

Can't wait to see my wife and daughter open these for Christmas!

Prepare to dive into a whimsical aquatic world where pixels meet fins and cuteness reigns supreme! Design: Let's start with the aesthetics, shall we? This Tamagotchi is as enchanting as a sunlit ocean floor. Adorned with vibrant hues of aquamarine, seafoam green, and the shimmer of iridescent scales, this little wonder immediately transports you to an underwater realm. The mermaid-themed shell is a delight for the eyes—a true treasure trove of aquatic charm. Creature Care: Now, onto the main event—caring for your digital mermaid companion! Your duties include feeding, playing, and attending to your adorable pixelated pal's needs. But fear not, for these tasks are as enjoyable as a beachside frolic!

Very fun to play with BUT teaches responsibility harshly... 10+
So it was very fun to play with, it's like a little digital pet you have to take care of. It beeps when it needs something. SCROLL DOWN IF YOU WANT A SHORT HELPFUL GUIDE ON HOW TO CARE FOR IT :) vvv WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR/TIPS & TRICKS: - A button is the button on the left. B button is the button in the middle. C button is the button on the right. - If it isn't taken good care of, the pet will 'die' aka it flys back up to its home planet. You can get a new one if you reset but it isn't the same pet and if your kid is below 9 they will most likely become distraught over it dying - If you feed it too many snacks (the cake) it will die before it turns into a teenager! You can feed it the burger only. - If it isn't disciplined or played with enough or it's weight is too high it will grow up to become an unattractive bad mannered alien. - When it needs something, it beeps. You can silence it (although that is the #1 leading cause of tamagotchi deaths) but if your children go to school then you need to take care of it while they are at school, unless you want them to be checking their tamagotchi every 10 minutes or having it beep. If they are in middle school or higher, then they can put it on their backpack and check it between periods/at lunch time. - Discplining it is clicking the button with the little head that's speaking/yelling. If it beeps even though its hunger and happiness is full, you need to click that button to discipline it. The more you discipline, the less it will beep when not needed which is what we want. You also need to discipline it if it refuses to eat when hungry or play when unhappy. - HERE'S HOW TO PLAY THE GAME: When you click the play button, a number will appear on the left. If you think the number on the right (there is no number on the right YET) will be higher then it, click the B button. If you think the number that the number on the left will be higher then the number that will appear on the right, click the A button. - All the responsibilities might seem a little stressful, right? But as your tamagotchi grows up, it will become less maintenance. - It will eventually die of natural age LUCKILY things you can do to increase its lifespan are: - Keep in tiptop shape. My rule of thumb is even when it doesn't beep, check every 10-15 minutes. If a heart is gone for HUNGRY or HAPPINESS play with it or feed it! - Play with it. As much as possible. Not a lot but I'd recommend 30 minutes of play total a day. Playing with it also keeps its weight down, and the more it weighs the less it'll live :( - Only discipline when necessary!

Pretty Little Tama
I just bought it to look at it and you're probably reading this review because you want to do the same. Very pretty little Tama. Can't comment on the game play because, as I said, I bought this pretty little Tama just to look at it. It's currently on display in my room. A+ would recommend you buy one to look at it too. Oh! I have read that if you do play it, don't feed it snacks until it's an adult or you greatly increase the chances of killing it and you may be arrested by the Tama police before you can even reset the device.

The Tamagotchi I got for my 6-year-old niece has been a huge hit! It's fun, easy for her to use, and teaches responsibility in a playful way. Highly recommended for young kids who love interactive toys!
