The Tamagotchi brand has added a camera to their virtual pet so that you can be closer to your critters.

Tamagotchi has been giving us adorable little pet sims for about as long as I can remember. It is the perfect way to learn the responsibility of pet ownership, without actually having another living animal rely on you. Not only that, they are just the cutest thing ever. Clean, feed and give all your love to your very own tiny digital pet.

Now, the Tamagotchi has offiaclly added a camera to their toy, allowing pet owners to find themselves inside the toy with their pet. This will also make it so that we can share our pictures of us with our pets. There will be a service in the new devices that makes it easy to send pictures to our friends. You will also be able to use the camera to interact with your pet in different ways.
