By Wolf Nanaki(noreply@blogger.com) Create more character articles with information. A character's article should include information on its name and personality, what releases or versions the Tamagotchi has been in, official Bandai artwork of the character, and generally important things. For example, editing Masktchi's page to say "omg she luvs Gozarutchi" isn't very helpful, credible, or necessary.Each article about Tamagotchi releases should include info on special features, release dates, official images, and a list of all characters featured.Also, articles that are pointless or useless should either be expanded to be a credible and helpful article, or otherwise deleted.

By Jesmond(noreply@blogger.com) My Tamagotchi Music Star arrived in the mail today. I must admit that my anticipatory (is that a word? ...it is now :D) experience was a mixture of dread and curiosity. To tell the truth I'm still not sure how I feel about this Tamagotchi version. I'm not sure how the whole music theme is going to be incorporated with the familiar experience of raising a tamagotchi. However it's still early for me to say if I like the Tamagotchi Music Star or not. I'll just say what I liked and not liked so far: Anyway, sorry for such a long post.

The first thing you get when you put in the battery is the clock which you have to set (picture below). Don't you just love the faces on all the clocks? :D I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love the details on this tama. Althought the color screen is a novel feature, everything else is pure Tamagotchi. Bandai did a great job on the animations and the color screen is put to good use. Look at the screen below and notice how the screen turns dark when the tamagotchi gets sick, a really nice touch, don't you think? [read the full post]

Tamagotchi V5.5 news

By Jesmond(noreply@blogger.com) Hi all, Bandai contacted me yesterday and told me about the V5.5...apparently this won't be the American/European version of the Royal Famita after all. There will be new colors and a new family. I'm guessing that the new family will be a different pure family from the ones we have seen on the regular V5. I will be posting a picture of the new designs as soon as they are out. Anyway, here's a copy-paste of what Bandai told me: Jesmond: Customer Service Bandai America Edit: I was reading some Tamagotchi Celebrity (the V5.5) logs and I can confirm that the V5.5 is the American/European version of the Japanese royal Tamagotchi.

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... [read the full post]

Familitchi: Tamagotchi V5 - Furawatchi / Leaftchi / Violetchi
Original at Familitchi
• Thu, Apr 3
By Jesmond This is my latest 3D creation. This character goes by three different names: Furawatchi, Leaftchi and Violetchi. I have never really understood why this particular character received 3 different names although I do remember seeing her being depicted in green rather than pink. So maybe one of the three names is referring to another character which is different from the Furawatchi shown here. Can anyone clarify this mystery? Anyway, this character's official name is Furawatchi (I'm referring to the one seen on the Tamagotchi V5 and depicted here). Below is the original 2D picture of Furawatchi.
