▼ By this point, her Tamagotchi had evolved into an even cuter looking pet. Things had not gotten off to a great start, so Udonko decided to make things better by feeding her pet a delicious meal which, because it’s 2022, arrived via delivery. It looked like this Tamagotchi was going all out from the very start this was going to be a rough 24 hours. Udonko gave her pet some milk and let out a sigh of relief. ▼ Her pet was hungry, as seen by the lack of rice balls! What’s wrong?! Udonko immediately checked the status screen and…
▼ Her pet was already calling out for something!
“Nice to meet you,” Udonko murmured as she touched the screen, but this peaceful bond between owner and pet wasn’t to last for long, as… It was a little different to the pets she’d raised in old-fashioned Tamagotchis, but it was really cute. Buttons are so early 2000s, am I right?Īfter setting up the watch, Udonko was met with the sight of an egg on her screen, with a bed and a Teru Teru Bozu in the room too.Īfter a short while, the egg hatched and Udonko finally got to meet her new pet! ▼ Most of the Tamagotchi Smart’s functions can be accessed via the touch screen. Udonko decided to check around her eyes for wrinkles as she felt the passage of time ravaging away at her soul. While the original Tamagotchi’s iconic layout had three working buttons, the only button with any working purpose on the Tamagotchi Smart is the middle one with the watch’s touch screen doing most of the heavy lifting, the outer ‘buttons’ are just for show.
She turned on the Tamagotchi Smart using the middle button, which, coincidentally, was the only button on the watch that actually had a function. But now was not the time to lament the loss of her youth it was time to start her 24 hours as a new virtual pet owner. It was at this moment that it hit Udonko just how much time had passed since she was a child, and she nervously began checking for grey hairs.
ANIME BUT PLUG MANUAL
Included in the package were just three things: the Tamagotchi Smart, an instruction manual and… a charging cable?!Ĭould it be…? Finally, the days of desperately searching every nook and cranny for a spare watch battery (because seriously, who just keeps spare watch batteries lying around?!) are over the Tamagotchi Smart is USB chargeable. Even though it was a children’s toy, it felt more stylish and chic than the ones she had played with back in the day, and this was before she’d even opened the box! Just from the packaging alone, Udonko could already feel how much more advanced the world of Tamagotchis had become. Tamagotchis of yesterday, while very advanced at the time, seemed like ancient relics compared to the Tamagotchi Smart. When the Tamagotchi Smart arrived, Udonko couldn’t help but feel surprised.
ANIME BUT PLUG FULL
So, Udonko decided to set herself a challenge - wear the Tamagotchi Smart for a full 24 hours, whilst keeping her new virtual pet as happy (and alive) as possible. They were always crying out for something, and nineties kids know only too well the heartbreak of coming back from school to a dead Tamagotchi, usually surrounded by a pile of virtual poop.īut if your Tamagotchi was somewhere much closer - like on your wrist - then surely it would be much easier to keep it alive. But while she was excited to meet her new virtual pet, Udonko’s strongest memory of Tamagotchis was how tough they were to keep alive. Our Japanese reporter Udonko, a fellow child of the nineties, also grew up in a time when Tamagotchis were insanely popular, and upon hearing of the new smartwatch decided to revisit her youth and ordered one online. Luckily for everyone, the makers of Tamagotchis have a better grasp on the passing of time than I do, and in celebration of its 25th anniversary, Bandai released a special watch version called Tamagotchi Smart, so you can tend to your virtual pets needs as you check the time. After all, in my mind the year 2000 happened just ten years ago, and anyone who says any different is messing with me. It’s hard for a child of the nineties like me to hear that Tamagotchis, the must-have playground toy back in the day, turned a quarter of a century last year.
The Tamagotchi Smart means you can take your virtual pet with you everywhere.
