If you are in the age group for whom the word 'tamagotchi' is not bewildering, but a fit of nostalgia, there is great news for you. If the epidemic that gripped fans of capricious electronic pets in the 90s and early 2000s did not pass you, and instead of the traditional kitten, puppy, or at worst a parrot, you begged your parents for an unknown animal with a Japanese name, then you are also included in the target the audience of the Bandai project. The gaming giant is set to release a new game called 'My Tamagotchi Forever' for mobile on Android and iOS.
'My Tamagotchi Forever' will be released in 2018. It will be free, but it looks like it will have in-app purchases. Below you can check out the trailer that Bandai has released, which reveals some interesting details.

The game will undoubtedly please the nostalgic brethren: it presents all the basic mechanics of that very classic toy. The player is required to satisfy all the needs of the virtual pet: feed it, play with it, clean up after it, and also make sure that the pet has enough sleep. But there are also a number of new features.
For those who are not in the know, all your pets live in a special place called Tamatown. Here you can interact with several different Tamagotchi characters. This may also mean the possible presence of some kind of multiplayer in the game.
Another important feature we'll likely see is AR (augmented reality) mode. Bandai doesn't say anything about augmented reality in their original press release, but the trailer accurately shows a mother and child interacting with a Tamagotchi in the real world.
Here are some details from the press release:
- Grow your Tamagotchi, watch their feeding, wash them, clean up after them and turn off the lights so that they sleep well at night, and then they will be happy and healthy.
- It's fun to play mini-games with your Tamagotchi and explore Tama Town together. Make friends with other Tamagotchi too.
- Develop your Tamagotchi from one type to the next depending on how you care for them. You will never know in advance what can grow from them!
- Save memorable moments with your Tamagotchi and other friendly city dwellers.
- Share your favorite moments with your friends.
- Tamagotchi can be tickled. They love it!
- Earn coins by playing mini games and level up.
- Unlock various delicacies, cute outfits and colorful items to decorate Tama Town
- Compare your game progress and growing tamagotchi skills with your friends.
And one more interesting thing: you can even register on the Bandai website and send them a sketch of your Tamagotchi – who knows, maybe he will become a source of inspiration and a creature according to your sketch will appear in the game. You can do this by following the link.
It’s even interesting who will like the game more – children or those adults who nostalgia will make them stuck in Tama Town for a long time.
