My Thoughts
I remember playing with my Tamagotchi when I was younger, and it was a lot of fun to be responsible for a little creature. Now, all these years later my kids can play with the newest version of this fun toy. And what’s more is that with the change in technology they have a more customizable toy to play with. Tama-Go features a whole new way to play with the Tamagotchi characters.
Each figure (one comes with the unit itself) has two character-specific games and shopping items. All you do is attach a Tama Figure and activate its games in the Tama-Go. The Tama-Go, has a new four-gray scale display screen that includes an interchangeable design face plate and one Tama Character figure. Collect more characters to receive special rewards in your Tama-Go. My tween loves the different face plates, she says it makes it feel more like hers. So far she has three of the six character figures and she has been enjoying all the different games and items she has been collecting. And don’t forget you can sign up at TamaTown for more fun too!
