The new Tamagotchi features infra-red technology that will allow users to interact with other Tamagotchi pet owners. This game still retains its original concept: Tamagotchi owners should take care of their virtual pets. They are required to feed them, provide them with basic needs to live, bathe them, play with them, bring them to hospital when they are sick, and do pretty much all the responsibilities of a real pet owner.

This toy gadget comes in different models. Customers may also choose what kind of pet they would want to have.

Tamagotchi may be viewed as another novelty gadget with a sole purpose of profiting from its target-market which seems to have nothing else to do but to take care of an imaginary creature that cannot even reciprocate its owner’s affection. But creators of this product must be given recognition for inventing something to kill time.

You can purchase Tamagotchi from Firebox for £5.99 ($10 USD)
