Yes, it’s true. After 20 years of leaving millennials with smartphones, Bandai is relaunching the original Tamagotchi. Reminisce that panic feeling when you forgot to feed your virtual pet with 6 original characters, each with its own distinct devices. With some changes being made in its size, a half smaller than the 90s version, and losing its rectangle screen plus missing a few helpful icons, Tamagotchi is still shaped as an egg-shaped keychain for you to hang it all over your belongings.
While it’s still only being released in Japan for 1900 yen, the reactions from all over the world should push Bandai to put this iconic 90s craze into international markets.
