Tamagotchi ID - New Updates

Hi everyone, it's me Jesmond! I know I haven't posted in such a long time and I truly apologise for that. After yesterday's great news posted by OM21 I just had to write something. If you haven't read the previous post I suggest that you do so, it's very interesting. We're going to have a new Tamagotchi in full color! And it sounds soooo cool!! It will be called Tamagotchi ID. Here's a picture I found on the internet:

I think I'll be getting the yellow one, it looks beautiful :) I love that they re-designed the unit; it looks more streamlined now. As you might recall, the previous Tamagotchi + Color had a flat back. This one seems to have a more rounded back and the crystal-facet looks so nice.
I found a link with some more information (click here). I translated the page from Japanese with Google Translate so the English is really bad; however it should give you the basic idea of the features we should be expecting. I would like to point out that this Tamagotchi will have an LCD color screen instead of OLED (the TMGC+C's screen was OLED); I'm not sure how this will affect the screen quality but hopefully it's all for the best. I also like that we can now get costumes for the characters. That sounds awesome!
Make sure that you leave a comment telling us what you think of the Tamagotchi ID; I hope you're all as excited as I am about this :)

Tamagotchi iD




With many thanks to Binary of Tama-Zone for breaking the news, Tarokaja for providing the info, and !Gotchi-Gotchi! for translating the name.

While not shown on the official Japanese website, a new Tamagotchi model is on its way to Japanese retailers. A rough translation of the Japanese site says the following: (Careful: This translation is rough, so not all information may be correct.)

New communication system that you'll want to show off!
New for Tamagotchi:
* Changeable accessory (shell?)
* Characters personality can be altered.
* You can keep the same character forever.
* You can overwrite existing games and items with new ones by downloading them.

New Tamagotchi Memory
* Change accessories to make your our Lovelitchi
* Download items from DekaTama
* Download new minigames through Cell Phone
* Download new wallpaper through Cell Phone
* It's lots more fun to connect Tamagotchis to each other

Whatever you want to download, you can download to make this into your original Tamagotchi.
* Unlike older Tamagotchi models, you can download data and overwrite as many times as you like.

As you customise more and more, you'll become attached to your character.
Instead of aging quickly from baby to adult. Now there's a friend stage. That's when you can use the new download function and influence their personality.

Improved Tamagotchi lifestyle!
Your Tamagotchi can go to a restaurant, go to a photo studio. In your garden, there's a mailbox for receiving letters.
The newest addition to the Tamagotchi family will be released on Tamagotchi's 13th birthday, November 23rd. Start saving up!

Meanwhile, the newest English language model, Tamagotchi Music Star: World Tour Edition, has yet to appear ...

New Tamagotchi Anime in Japan!

A new Tamagotchi animated series, simply titled Tamagotchi!, will be airing this month in Japan. The series appears to focus on Mametchi and his friends spending time in a Hollywood-like town, meeting celebrities and having adventures.

Some returning characters include Mametchi, Memetchi, Kuchipatchi, Makiko, Flowertchi, KuroMametchi, ChaMametchi, and Kikitchi. Four new characters will be introduced as well. One of them is Lovelitchi, a white cotton-ball like character who appears to be a famous celebrity. The other three's names have yet to be translated.

Unlike the original animated series, episodes will be half an hour with two stories each (not any different from American animated cartoons, such as Spongebob). Currently, a dub of the new anime has yet to be announced.
