OM21: My New Tamagotchi Plus Color!

So I finally went out and bought one on eBay! Got a pretty good deal on it, $61 with free shipping. Keep your eyes pealed, as the prices of the Plus Color are gradually going down!

I started it last Monday, almost an hour after it arrived in the mail. It started off as the new male baby Kinotchi, who looks like a little blue mushroom with a face. He evolved into Kuribotchi, who you may know from the Tamagotchi Music Star (He also appears on the V2, V4.5, Keitai, and Akai).

After that, he became Kikitchi, who first appeared on the Tamagotchi Connection V5 Celebrity, and then returned for the Tamagotchi Music Star. Finally, he became Kuchipatchi, who we all know and love.

Now, I know the TMGC+C was supposed to be a technical revolution within the Tamagotchi franchise, but I had no idea it'd be this much fun!

There are three games built into it, and they're more than enough to keep me entertained. Winning the games rewards you with $100G, and prices for items range from 150G to 3900G. There are very few items this time around, but they each do their own cute things. Also, there are special character-specific items: only certain characters can use them. For example, KuroMametchi and Nemutchi are the only two characters that can use the Guitar item.

Kuchipatchi and Kikitchi share the Hero Set item. Kikitchi temporarily transforms into some sort of Egyptian warrior, but Kuchipatchi transforms into the super hero PatchiMan! For him, it works like a costume item; he can run around as PatchiMan as long as he likes until I use the Hero Set again.

Another cute easter egg is when Kuchipatchi (or PatchiMan) drinks the Orange Juice item three times, he turns orange! It wears away when they wake up, or if you use the Hero Set item. Shimashimatchi has a similar trick: feed him enough watermellons and he turns green!

Here's a quick video I've made of him playing around:



I'll have some more videos up as soon as I can. :)
