Meet the Tamagotchi, a virtual pet that's all about responsibility and care. In this Japanese-only version of the popular game series, you'll get to experience the fun of raising a digital pet from its beginnings. With male and female versions available, your Tamagotchi can even find love and start a family of its own.
Gameplay is all about keeping your Tamagotchi happy and healthy. Feed it, play with it, and take care of its needs - all the while avoiding its wants. The game features three special mini-games to keep things interesting: memory match, rock-paper-scissors, and a beach-themed race to the finish. Plus, there are other fun activities to enjoy without your Tamagotchi.
Take your Tamagotchi on adventures to different locations, like the beach or a park, where you can interact with it in new ways. The game also keeps track of all the Tamagotchis you've met and cared for over time.
Like the real thing, the Game Boy version has a built-in alarm that alerts you when your pet needs attention - whether it's sick, needs to use the bathroom, or is hungry for food. With this reminder system, you'll never forget about your Tamagotchi again!
