Tamagotchi has been around for what seems to be forever. It’s been 20 years since the West first got to enjoy the Tamagotchi. First released as a physical toy in the mid 90’s, it quickly became a phenomenon with many virtual pet games that followed. Nintendogs was another very successful virtual pet game released on the original Nintendo DS. Now Bandai Namco has gone a step further, and with the power of smartphones, they have released a brand new Tamagotchi experience to take with us wherever we go.

My Tamagotchi Forever is an adorable take on the original principle of the Tamagotchi.  Taking a first glance at the game, Animal Crossing fans will notice that the actual Tamagotchi pets look like something you would meet in the world of Animal Crossing. But this time around My Tamagotchi Forever packs a lot more features and activities to do. While these two games are entirely different, there are some similarities, and it seems as if Bandai Namco tried to capture the spirit and cuteness of Animal Crossing in their latest mobile game.

in My Tamagotchi Forever players will need to babysit their Tamagotchi nearly around the clock, unless your is Tamagotchi sleeping. It needs to be fed, taken care of – to make sure it’s not getting sick, be played with and so much more. You get the idea, it’s like a needy puppy who always seeks for your attention. Love or hate it, the Tamagotchi is just too cute to not fulfill any of it’s wishes.

For the first time the game also packs a whole town to explore. Players will be able to collect items and coins to customize the town. These collectibles are placed around Tamatown ( the name of the town ). You can find them inside buildings, around bushes, or with some of the villagers who may hide them.

Besides the usual nursing a pet, and the new Tamatown experience, players will also be able to engage in multiple mini-games. Hide and Seek, and candy crush like games just to name a couple of them. If you are intrigued and ready to adopt your new Tamagotchi, you can download My Tamagotchi Forever on the Google Play Store and on iOS App Store for free.
