The 1990s brought us boy bands, the Prince of Bel Air, Michael Jordan, the countdown to the new millennium, and Tamagotchi, the digital pet. Between 1996 and 2008, as many as 70 million of these egg-like minicomputers were sold. Now they have revived it again, in a slightly modified version. Will the nostalgia be enough to keep this toy relevant even in this modern age?
How do the new ones differ from the original ones? First, let's start with sizes, which is now only half.
Also the shape of the aperture has changed, it is now square and no longer rectangular. Help icons too, which were previously located on the upper and lower sides, are now gone. But don't worry, you'll still need it to feed, Mrs to nurture and monitor its growth. The new Tamagotchi will be available in six different colors, namely orange, three shades of blue, white and pink. You will still be able to worn on a pendant, so it doesn't get out of hand. We don't yet know how he will fare, but the need to care for 'someone' is always present in each of us. Why not take care of your little digital friend?
Will the nostalgia be enough for the new Tamagotchi to be among the top digital ones of the modern age gadgets could you find your place? The price for him should be 15 euros, which is about as many as there are of us stood the original pet.
