Felt like staging the most 2000s desk I possibly could. Colours just for fun. The more you look, the more there is!

Daaamn all of those look like they're in great condition. They re-released the og Tamagotchi here in Japan. I was so tempted to get it, but I realized I already have two kids who constantly yap and complain about being hungry.

They re-released those original Tamagotchi and then the Tamagotchi Connections fairly recently. Not sure of global availability, but I got my hands on one pretty easily in Canada. They use the shell of the Connection v3 and behave about the same, if I’m not mistaken. But, they’re not quite the same. They’re not as good. The battery life isn’t as good (it’s kind of short, actually), and there are certain quirks that make me think it’s running slightly faster than the original.

I’m glad they exist, but they’re definitely not the exact same thing. They’re kinda expensive now too. I remember them costing $20 back in the day (the Connection, in Canada), which is about $30 now. But to buy the rebooted Connection, they’re all over $60-$70. I got the translucent neon colour, the 90s design. I see a dark starry neon colour, that looks even more 90s.
