this has to be the most adorable little tamagotchi ever! i bought it for a friend and she loved it. WARNING: everything from the packaging to the tamagotchi itself is in japanese so you pretty much have to "wing it" when you start to use it. neither my friend or myself speek or read japanese and i have to say that its not that dificult to use and you get used to the interface fairly quickly so dont be discouraged from buying one because its actually worth it.
5つ星のうち5.0Japanese version; requires infrared dongle/phone, else suffer with only two games.

It's fun and requires little brain power to care for the tamagotchi. Only thing to note is the trouble to decipher Japanese at the start. Thankfully, everything can be found by doing a search for "tamagotchi id l [issue at hand]". There are several forums available that have guides and tips (or spoilers, depending how you like to play it). Basics of what you need to know comes in their manual. Unfortunately, because it's in Japanese, you kinda have to stumble through it or be hardworking and read up online. Also slightly frustrating is the conversations that they have in Japanese. I'd love to know what they're saying.
OH, also, if you do not have an infrared dongle or an infrared phone, you won't be able to download any extras. THIS MATTERS because there are only two games and they get really boring very fast (you need to play the games for coins). Do a quick search for the dongle and phone (it's not as cheap as stated in the forums) and see if you are willing to pay for those. If it bothers you, get the newer tamagotchis with NFC since you will more likely be having/getting one of those phones/tablets in the future. It's much easier to get a new phone than an obsolete one.
My daughter is so excited to have gotten this. It has very cute characters. The games are fun. But it is in Japanese. That doesn't bother her as we knew that before getting it. She is still unlocking new stores and games. She has many tamagotchi's and this is her new favorite.
I just got mine after a long wait, and it's totally worth it. It's super adorable, the screen is really clear, and it takes me back to when I was a kid again. It IS all in japanese, but it's pretty easy to figure out the necessary parts.
First of all, I ordered this item on June 22, and it said it would be here on July 20th, earliest. It got here on July 5!!! It's so amazingly fun, too!! The characters are fantastic, the color is brilliant, and there are so many new features! If you are thinking about buying it, definately do it! I ordered from Play-Japan and it got here in less than two weeks!!! Order from them. :)
