Virtual pets are a natural fit for the wrist-borne Pebble smartwatch, and it was only a matter of time before a Tamagotchi-inspired app made its way to the platform. One of the new games debuting for Pebble at GDC this year is Hatchi, which is exactly that. The app originally appeared on iPhone, and on both platforms it features a pixelated pet for you to play with, though on the watch the… Read More
Here’s a thought to make you feel old today: if the first batch of Tamagotchis were human, they’d be almost through with high school. In fact, the egg-shaped virtual pet has just turned 17 (17!), and to celebrate, Bandai is revamping the brand (again) and launching a new line called Tamagotchi Friends. While you still need to feed your virtual pet and pick up its digital poop, this modern-day remake comes with new characters to raise. Also, when two owners bump their Tamagotchi Friends against each other, their pets can go on play dates, and they can interact in-game.
We wish Bandai added other modern features, like a full-color screen, but at least American aficionados can get units with a color background starting fall 2014. Those in Europe will have to make do with the black-and-white version upon launch in December 2013. For now, you can see more info and watch animated shorts on the official Tamagotchi Friends website, or practice your pet-rearing skills on Android.

In celebration of 16 years of Tamagotchi, Namco Bandai has cooked up a new mobile app based on the brand’s original virtual pet. Free to download from Google Play, this piece of ’90s nostalgia has been re-imagined with new features like color, improved image resolution and Facebook sharing. Fancy new bells and whistles aside, you’ll still need to feed and discipline your digital pet in order for it to thrive. So, if your device is running Android 2.3 or higher and you’re ready to clean up some pixelated poop, head on over to the Play Store to download your household’s newest edition.

The Tamagotchi you had 16 years ago isn’t a zombie coming back to haunt you. The virtual pet’s riding that 90s nostalgia wave, and it’s been resurrected in the form of an Android app. More »
Given that we have our smartphones on us pretty much all day, it is unsurprising that there have been apps created which mimic virtual pets like Tamagotchi back in the day, although at the same time I can’t help but feel that perhaps they are lacking a certain something. Now if you have grown up with a Tamagotchi as a kid, you might be interested to learn that the official Tamagotchi app will be making its way onto iOS and Android in the future! When exactly we don’t know, but hopefully sometime in the near future.
Like we said, this is the official app and it is by Bandai Co and Sync Beatz Entertainment. The app will be called Tamagotchi: L.I.F.E. (Love Is Fun Everywhere), and for fans of in-app purchases, there is expected to be clothing and accessories that you can buy for your virtual pet. I’m a little torn about this: am I a bit too old for Tamagotchi, or do I want to relive some childhood memories? Any adults here planning on getting their hands on the app upon its release?
