About the Product
Bandai America Incorporated is thrilled to announce the hatching of its new, next generation TamaTown Tama-Go by Tamagotchi, the virtual pet known and cherished by young, nurturing fans worldwide. With dozens of Gotchi figures, TamaTown Tama-Go offers kids limitless opportunities to raise and interact with the Gotchi figures at home, on the go or online at www.tamatown.com. Available now at major retailers, the redesigned TamaTown Tama-Go features a new high-contrast, four gray-scale display screen, a changeable design face plate and the choice of Gotchi figure.
“Bandai has expanded on the success of Tamagotchi by incorporating fan feedback to improve the play experience of the new TamaTown Tama-Go,” says Danielle Armbrust, Director of Marketing, Bandai America Incorporated. “We share the same fond memories of the first generation Tamagotchi, so we’re excited to see how kids enjoy interacting with and collecting the new Gotchi characters and exploring new ways to nurture and play games with their Gotchi character in the expanded online TamaTown world.”
TamaTown Tama-Go offers kids the chance to act as young caregivers by nurturing and raising their own virtual pet through feeding, playing games and checking statistics of happiness, hunger and discipline while also connecting with other friends and their Tama-Gos. Another exciting new option is the ability to “pause.” Now caregivers and friends no longer need to Tama-sit!

My Take on the Product
After opening the tama-go, I was surprised at its size. I have used some others in the past that were much smaller and this was about the size of an easter egg. I also remember some of the earlier versions have terrible graphics, but this had a great greyscale screen that provides a ton of great graphics. The game was fun and I liked finding out that you could go and purchase new backgrounds as you wished. I also liked the fact that the faceplate was also replaceable, so you never are going to be bored.
If you would like to get a TamaTown for yourself, you can find it on Amazon!
