Quickest way to do so is set the time to 6:59am, wait a minute until they wake up, and repeat. If anyone can answer, I would be grateful!Īnd if there are any mistakes or problems, you can always tell me! ^_^ In what ways is the Tamagotchi 4U+ different to the Tamagotchi 4U Is there anything most people doesn't know that we should know? Are there any 'Easter Eggs' in the Tamagotchi 4U? How do you even decrease the happiness in a short amount of time? Once your Tamagotchi becomes your TamaTomo it will be listed in a section in the notebook icon
You can earn money just by going outside your house in the afternoon (press the B button once on this screen*)Īnd then helping someone out (which btw will earn you 500 coins) It could be a fork (restaurant discount), bag (TamaDepa discounts), or a badge. The prize you get from the Eco triplets is random. There is a garden cleanup event happens every 10th, 20th and 30th days of the month (once each time) at 10 AM to 3 PM. You collect three of them (the fourth one is automatically given 48 hours after your character becomes an adult), and then they will be registered as a Tamafriend (under the notebook icon). The "bunny" icon happens when you get them to eat/use their favourite items. For the dancing game in the park, If it shows two buttons, wait for the word "dancing!" (ダンシンッグ) and only then you press the two buttons in the proper sequence (A,B or B,A depending on how you saw them). Get your hands on the Tamagotchi 4U in September._WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THE TAMAGOTCHI 4U_ The city is now your Tamagotchi playground! There are also various covers and straps to accessorize and coordinate the style of your Tamagotchi device.
You can download new characters, clothes, items, and “collaborate” digitally.įor example, go past a vending machine and pick up a “drink” for your Tamagotchi, or a “dress” at a clothes store.
This allows the handheld pet to interact with “Touch Spots” that are located around Japan, plus with other Tamagotchis and devices. The latest Tamagotchi is the Tamagotchi 4U, which ups the tech by adding NFC but still looks as cute as ever. Not bad for a nation with a declining birthrate, and so less and less young consumers every year. So, not quite the sensation it once was but still going strong.
The series underwent a further revival in 2011 with the release of a 15th anniversary model of the Tamagotchi iD L and this went on to shift around 500,000 units in 2011.
Tamagotchi Plus had infrared communication functions (infrared was once a standard in many Japanese flip phones) and then Tamagotchi iD could interact with cellphones. The sea change led to maker Bandai over-stretching itself and posting large losses for 1998.īandai then went back to the drawing board and came up with enhanced Tamagotchi with more sophisticated functionality: new models to meet the changing times.
Needless to say, the world of toys is a fickle one and subsequent Tamagotchi have been no match for the sales of the original, which was a global smash. It first hit stores in late 1996 and has since sold over 78 million units. The digital pet was a phenomenon in the 1990’s, its egg shape as funky as its concept, and as addictive as pressing the three buttons. Tamagotchi probably needs no introduction to any reader of a blog called “Japan Trends”. Bandai’s Tamagotchi is one of those series that just continues to survive - and not only survive, but keep on innovating and coming up with new tricks.
