The new ones have like cross-breeding and wifi connections and decorating your house and stuff though...

i bought one of the classic tamagotchis like a year ago and these things kinda suck ass tbh. there’s only six things you can get and the “play” mechanic is just flipping a coin 5 times in a row, and if you lose the coin flip more than 3 times then fuck you, your tamagotchi’s happiness doesn’t go up. the 20th anniversary digimon was way better, there’s tons of creatures to unlock and you can raise 2 at once, plus you can battle them with others. plus the tamagotchis don’t have SRAM like the digimons do so if your battery is dying then say goodbye to your vpet. the eggshell design is a lot cuter though and also friendly to lefties so they have that going for them at least.

i wanted to get a v3 tamagotchi because i remember those ones being pretty neat when i was younger but i couldn’t find one for less than like $80 so i never got to find out if they are actually good

edit: oh shit wait a minute apparently they did a 20th anniversary tamagotchi connection? i gotta check this out

I haven't seen any sparkly princess shit, but if sparkly princess shit existed when my sister and I were kids, we would definitely be playing with those Tamagotchis, too.

I had one of these as a kid. Would have probably preferred the new ones with more to do if they existed back then.

@Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net knows what I'm talking about.
