They spawned from virtual space in the mid-1990’s and became a worldwide craze, selling over 40 millions units – those lovable egg-shaped digital pets from Japan that allowed people to experience the joys of having a pet that fitted in the palm of their hands. Now tamagotchi fans have more reasons to enjoy their handheld pets.

The latest versions introduced simulate more real-life activities and allow for more interaction with other tamagotchi devices. “Connection” tamagotchi can communicate with other tamagotchi pets to play and mate. The Version 4 and Version4.5 Connection tamagotchi can even go to school and later on be able to pick out a job.
