Tamagotchi thread?

RECently bought a tomagotcchi 4u off Amazon. Very fun, there's easy to understand guides out there.

>tfw the only way tamagotchis will ever come back is as a phone app

Always enjoyed these little guys, which one did you just order OP?

I might be grabbing a Tamagotchi Mini that they're releasing this April, but I don't know if I should bother or not. Price point isn't too bad at least, but it'd be just like the original in terms of lack of games from what I understand.

I wish these guys were popular in the west again

They're coming out with Sanrio version of their Mix so you can continue creating genetic abominations

just when I think I'm done giving Bandai my money they do this

I don't know about their popularity overseas, but it feels like they're constantly trying to push their Twin Star Kids merch on their US site. I wonder how popular they actually are?

I know that Cinnamoroll is pretty popular in Japan, but there's hardly any merch of him pushed here. Gudetama seems to be popular both in the US and Japan.

I just realized, they probably got these 6 characters from the popularity contest they hold every year:

I'm really surprised that they're so high in the rankings, I wouldn't have expected them there at all. Maybe I'm out of touch?

>Yoshikitty at 7

>Pochacco at 11

>Kerokerokeroppi at 13

>Badtz Maru at 17

>Usahana at 37

>Chibimaru at 68
no
>Chococat at 69
NO

what the fuck is happening here, why are there anime girls in the running

I remember Cinnamoroll had a lot more of a push here back in 04, since that's when I learned about him and fell in love

maybe.. maybe I'm just stuck in 2004..

You and me both. Cinnamoroll is by far still my favorite Sanrio character and it's annoying how little decent merch is sold over here for him. Since he's in the new Mix, I'll probably be getting it for that reason.

Yoshikitty looks like some Sephiroth reference, but apparently her design is based off some musician I've never heard of called Yoshiki, a member of some metal rock band from Japan.

Looking this stuff up made me realize how out of touch I am with modern Sanrio, geez louise

>>6162760
Spotty Dotty was my favorite as a child, unaware she was one of their biggest failures.

>some metal rock band
X Japan is one of the most mainstream bands in Japan, dude. It's a household name there.

I remember Spottie Dottie! I guess Pandapple and Nyago are more of their failures. How disappointing.

Tamagotchi's are amazing. Even better since my favorite artist fucks with them as well.

>>6162969
Huh, I recognize Loudness, and my dad had an E.Z.O. tape.

I used to really be into tamagotchi, I had at least 4 of them and spent countless hours on them. I'm thinking of getting one for old time's sake, which ones are the best in terms of features?

>>6160446
Out of the fucking blue my mother started up one of the egg ones popular in the 90s
Pretty sure it flew over pretty quickly but it gave me a laugh.

I would like to pick up one of these with the backlight, which one is best as far as features? Will the mix have chococat?

>>6167568
The backlit ones are in color, and all of those are in Japanese if you're okay with that

The sanrio one includes the characters here
>>6162668
So no chococat, which should be a sin
