Connection - Clear Retro

The game is amazing and full of items to collect. However, the battery included in the box didn't last long at all. I switched to Energizer batteries and they work perfectly with much better durability. Make sure to have a spare CR2032 ready from day one! Also if you're able to buy a case to protect the screen, just go for it.

SO CUTE i connected with my friends tamogotchi and its such a cute tamagotchi and i honestly think its worth the money and buttons work very well and the size is good to take to school and yeah thats all i have to say

This tamagotchi connection v3 is awesome! It's a great small size so I can bring it anywhere and I use mine as a bag charm. It's really fun to play and hear the alerts going off when your pet needs you, I can't comment on durability as I bought a case for mine straight away and it has protected it from any scratches that would have otherwise occurred from it rolling around inside my purse. The color is fabulous and the buttons are cute matching pink. The bows are pretty and girly. I love looking after my new tamagotchi!

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!

I recently received this virtual pet toy as a gift and it was a real lifesaver during a recent hospital stay. It was the perfect, low-effort distraction and brought back so many fond memories of playing with these as a kid. The gameplay is just as I remember—caring for the little pixelated creature, feeding it, playing games, and cleaning up after it. It was incredibly enjoyable and kept me busy and entertained for hours, making a tough situation much more bearable. The one major drawback, and the reason I'm giving it four stars instead of five, is the battery life. I recall these things lasting forever when I was a child. However, after only two months of on-and-off use, the battery was completely dead. It was a bit of a disappointment, especially since I was really enjoying the routine of checking on my little digital friend. Overall, I highly recommend this toy if you're looking for a dose of nostalgia or a simple, engaging way to pass the time. Just be prepared to have some spare batteries on hand.

Really beautiful device I haven’t personally tried the gameplay yet but I have heard a lot of good things! Exactly as pictured. Great shipping quality! I can’t wait to try it this summer!

My daughter really loves it. Update: We never open the package because my daughter had other Toma's going. So after a while after she decided to open the package and play with this one,guess what? The unit is damage. It does not work,the battery was not inside and there was no slip to remove as new user. So,exactly this is not what I expected. Support please. Stand by for update.....4/10/2026

It's almost like I remember. Tamagotchi is always fun to have. Even though, sometimes, you don't have time for it. This one's different than the one I lost years ago as a child at the library. I believe it was the Tamagotchi V4. This won't completely fill the hole in my heart that was left by the loss of that. Man, I'm tearing up now just from remembering the loss. I wish I could've found it right away. I'll be more careful with this one. And, due to me being older, the size of it is definitely going to be smaller than I remember, when in my hands.

海外製で不安だったけれど大丈夫でした！ イメージ通りのデザインでとってもキラキラ✨

Love this tamagotchi! I have had it for over two weeks now and have had zero battery issues, maybe I just got lucky! Cute translucent pink colour!

Works great, a nice nostalgic purchase. Battery lasts if you turn sound off while playing the games. Just a useful tip I learned. Overall it's a great toy for any she or anyone wanting to relive their childhood.

Love!

日本語対応でとても面白く可愛かったです。ですが画面に傷はつきやすいので注意したほうがいいかもしれません
