I knew that it would eventually happen :D Good news everyone! The tamagotchi is finally being released in a color version!!! This won't be a simulation for cell-phones, computers, gameboy etc...this will be a regular hand-held key chain Tamagotchi but the display is all in color! There is no information about it yet except the above picture which I got from Japan's Bandai website. I really really like the screen and the fact that they included a room for the tamagotchi to live in will probably mean that it will be able to interact with the environment, such as playing games on the computer seen in the background or resting on the couch. As you can see from the picture above, there is a ladder leading somewhere else. I'm guessing that you will be able to tell the tamagotchi to go to other parts of its 'house' where there might be more options for direct interaction. It could even lead to an outside world that the tamagotchi can explore! These are only theories but they're now completely possible thanks to a high resolution color screen.
Also, judging from the above picture, we can guess what the icons will be used for:
- The first icon is probably the regular screen for checking on the tamagotchi's age, weight etc.
- The second icon is for feeding the tamagotchi (obviously) .
- Third icon is the toilet...I can't see how they could have changed this option from the tamagotchis we currently have.
- The fourth icon looks really interesting; the small open door might hint at the theory I've stated earlier...maybe being able to leave the tamagotchi's house to interact with an outside world, sort of like a Tamatown but on the Tamagotchi unit itself...that would be awesome :D!!
- I see that there will still be the possibility of connecting with other tamagotchis, i don't know if it would be possible to connect with the tamagotchis we currently have...that would be a nice feature wouldn't it?
- Sixth icon is for medicine...it's most probably the same thing as the medicine features used in current tamagotchis...maybe with better animation sequences?
- The chest icon is most probably the same as the one used on the entama and similar tamagotchis, i.e. to store items collected from tamatown etc.
- The 8th icon looks a lot like a showering unit...now there's definitely something we've never seen on any tamagotchi so far.
- Ninth icon is probably for the friend's list, family history etc.
- The last icon looks very familiar ;) I guess I don't need to hint what this does.
As I've already mentioned, these are just my thoughts on what the features of this new tamagotchi might be all about. I've added another screenshot I got from Bandai's website. Maybe someone knows what's written in the advert and leave us a translation in a comment? Maybe tell us when it will be released...I can see a number 9 written near the bottom, is this the release date?
It will obviously be released in Japan first...no idea when, then it would (hopefully) be released to the rest of the world. I can't wait!!! It all looks sooo very interesting. Let me know what you guys think about this new tama.
