Tamagotchi's Triumphant Return

Tamagotchi, the game that spawned the portable sim pet craze that has made its way onto mobile phones in various ways will make the switch to mobile…if the owner company Bandai knows whats good for it. Tamagotchi Connection is a new Tamagotchi toy that was released just over a year ago…it has already sold over a million units, and includes the ability to interact with other devices over infrared…”young Tamagotchis to eventually grow into adults, and communicate wirelessly with other Connection owners to make a second-generation Tamagotchi“. I wonder if there’s an evolution algorithm incorporated somewhere…
Now the game has been ported to the BREW platform (I think…I’m assuming its available…)
“Tamagotchi for mobile offers an array of customization features. Users can now name their pet, choose between 6 different body-frame colors, and choose to view their pet in original dot-pixel or full color illustration modes. Also, the Tamagotchi for mobile has two extra mini games, a facts book with pet descriptions, and a journal that documents the progress of past pets,” Murakawa said.
As the article states, this is an obvious fit for mobile phones and the only surprise with the move is that it didn’t happen a lot earlier.
