Hello, everyone! Great news for those living in North America: there's a brand new Tamagotchi toy heading our way!
This new Tamagotchi's going to be called the "Tamatown Tama-Go". From the looks of the images, it appears to be a black-and-white version of the Tamagotchi Plus Color. However, to spice things up, there's also a "Tama Figure" feature. These are little plastic toys that attach to the top of the unit, and unlock new games, items, and foods.
From the looks of things, it seems that Bandai really, REALLY wanted to bring the TMGC+C to America, but knowing it would be a huge monetary risk, they decided to get as close as they could, while introducing a new feature to keep things fresh. One screenshot even shows Belltchi in a living room with a fireplace! Personally, I've got mixed feelings for this new toy; while the figurine concept is definitely interesting, I'm not personally too keen on the shell designs, and the idea of forking over $20 for a black-and-white version of a toy I already have. But I'll most definitely be getting one to give it a fair chance. :)

The new toys were officially announced on February 12th, but a release date has yet to be mentioned, so stay tuned!

i think u can change the inside of the shell designs because i saw this picture of a kuchipatchi figurine with a fallen leaves design tht u can prbly put inside ur tama-go. If u look closely theres a small opening for opening and closing the glass front.
Please tell me the release date!!!!
I AM DIEING TO KNOW
Where do you buy Tama-go??
I want it!
I went to Toys R Us and they don't sell Tamagotchi anymore.
So please tell me where to buy!
I know they were already released, I've been reading and seeing lots about.

omg when are the tamagotchi-go's coming to Australia. i am a huge fan of tamagotchi's and must have one :):):)!
i have more than 4 tamagotchi's! i have 2 tama-go's,1 v.5 2 v.4, and 1 v5.5. I LOVE TAMAGOTCHI :D
i have one and i really like it but i cant figure out how to access items. I can only access foods and remodels... is this tamagotchi version incapable of using items? i hope not :(
