Tamagotchi Paradise Discussion/Research

[junior sundial]

Oh it’s so nice that it’s a one-time fee too!

[outer idol]

I think it's a great deal, love no subscription
@quaint linden you shoulddd!!

[quaint linden]

I know I'll be bad though 🙃 I can barely even do 2D art!

[junior sundial]

Indeed, I’ll see if I can find a tutorial I vibe with!

[unique mist]

If you're interested in Blender, Crashsune on YouTube has a very easy series of tutorials on how to make your own 3D model! More aimed at humanoid characters but it's great to learn what tool does what

[red field]

ah oki c:

[balmy sky]

@lyric shore found this https://www.gamesmen.com.au/toys/series/tamagotchi-paradise?srsltid=AfmBOoqB358A8oH4lMrRqSX9v10zJ836k7eYcC_4Azb3IQo0sVdOKyT-

If this would be of use to anyone

[lyric shore]

Oh the link leads to a dead site, it's the screenshot that shows shell names that has the info. But it looks like it's already been leaked elsewhere 😆

[amber cloud]

Stolen from general

I wonder if the date and price are accurate

[lyric shore]

Hopefully! Keep in mind that screenshot would show AUD

[outer idol]

I was expecting it to be more tbh

[proven vector]

That would be $69.95 AUD = ~$44.95 USD

[outer idol]

Happy with $70 AUD for sure tho

[lyric shore]

The uni is like $80 Aud right?

[outer idol]

Yeah

Well last time I checked lol

[agile ore]

OMG GAMESMEN ?

BROTHER IM CRASHING OUT

i live in aus

i can see the page but it’s not available yet ! hopefully soon EEEK

[outer idol]

I just ordered the Fresh Strawberry and Tama Cafe from them this morning lol

[agile ore]

I WILL BE PREORDERING

[agile ore]

OMG RLLY i need to get the steawberryyyy

omg thanks for reminding me

i’m gonna get it

[proven vector]

1x CR3032 Battery???

[outer idol]

That scares me

[gloomy arch]

how

[random folio]

its MOST likely text from a rv3 x_x

[proven vector]

Also @amber cloud sorry for the ping but release date of 7/12/2025, if it’s getting revealed this month and releasing in July that would once again fit the 2 month period between announcement and release

[outer idol]

Me wondering about this battery business

[gloomy arch]

oh no im scared its gonna be another pix with that 2 month period

[amber cloud]

? Why would the 2 month period mean anything Pix related

[proven vector]

The Uni and RV3 both had a 2 month period between announcement and release too iirc

[torpid pier]

hi @amber cloud (:

[gloomy arch]

i just think that the period between the announcement and the spain release of the pix was the reason the pix just didnt really work out for me like i hoped

[torpid pier]

moo!

[amber cloud]

Moo!

[amber cloud]

I’m not really sure why that could be the case

[gloomy arch]

anyway enough pix slandering in the paradise forum

[proven vector]

The site is down for maintenance now

[severe wasp]

I think it was Walmart that said about AAAs, which seems a lot more likely

[proven vector]

True true, though they did change their listing from AAA batteries to just ‘Contains Batteries: Y’ before the listing got removed altogether

[outer idol]

I hope the material quality is nice

[severe wasp]

Colour screen with CR2032 just doesn't seem like it would work

[proven vector]

#1367893882775408690 message

[torpid pier]

is it because the batteries aren’t powerful enough?

[gloomy arch]

i hope they give us AAs for this tama actually

[severe wasp]

Yeah if you think of the RV3 only lasting a week for some people
How would they power a whole colour device? 😅

[random folio]

hmm did nobody take a screenshot of the walmart listing?

i see the malay listing has 2x AAA

[torpid pier]

oh gosh i didn’t know people had their rv3s die so quickly! i feel like mine lasted over a month

[amber cloud]

Mine generally lasts about a month at a time

[ivory ridge]

WHICH ONE IS IT BANDAL

[amber cloud]

One of my friends had theirs show the low battery screen in the same day they put the battery in, although it seemed fine after pressing the reset button

[severe wasp]

Mine did this too

I guess a CR2032 would help the device be smaller, like the drawings we have

Connection-ish sized

But I can't think of any similar device that runs off a battery that small

[amber cloud]

inb4 it ends up being one of these

[proven vector]

The only screenshots of the Walmart listing I have

[amber cloud]

I’ve got 20+ nurturing activities too. Maybe even more

[severe wasp]

• feed rice
• feed beef
• feed burger
• feed lollipop
• feed donut
• feed ice cream

There thats 6 of them already

[random folio]

okay gamesman has the same info for the connection.... with the difference that connections are for ages 6+ and paradise 8+

which may mean more reading... which may mean color device

oh ok nanos are 8+ too lmao

it means nothing

[outer idol]

Need an extra 2 years of life to be able to turn the new knob

[topaz nexus]

Looking at the $69 price that tells me it's a color device. The cr2032 has to be an error. Even dumb orange man didn't screw up the economy to cause prices to double....yet.

[proven vector]

$69.95 AUD -> $44.95 USD 🤔 A bit of uncharted territory for tama prices, weirdly right in the middle

[topaz nexus]

Oh the price wasn't in US?

[outer idol]

From an Australia store

[proven vector]

No, it was from an Australian store

He

Ye*

xD

[outer idol]

The price seems kinda low for a coloured device?

But maybe tech has changed idk

[hushed light]

Wasn’t the Pix $40?

[proven vector]

Only after being out for awhile, on release it was $59.99

iirc at least

[amber cloud]

He

[solemn flame]

Yeah pix was $60

[topaz nexus]

I'd be OK if it turned out to be a connection like device but ugh...I hope this isn't grayscale sprites on a greyscale background again.

[proven vector]

https://tenor.com/view/haha-mickael-jackson-queendugif-ahah-hehe-gif-13642339

[random folio]

prices usually arent converted 1:1. tho the walmart listing had it as 39.99?

[keen topaz]

The worst from the TamaGo and friends screen combined

[amber cloud]

I think for what they want to do this probably wouldn’t work on a greyscale screen

[topaz nexus]

Same

[proven vector]

The Malaysian site has it listed at 188.00 MYR -> $43.75 USD. So it seems like it could be anywhere from $40 to $45 USD

[random folio]

the uni prices were
North America $59.99
Europe Release £69.99 /€74.99-79.99
Asia/Oceania/Australia $129.95
sooooo

[proven vector]

Oh wow, $129 AUD is about $82 USD. So going by that, Paradise could be even cheaper?

Probably not, but just speculation

[topaz nexus]

I'm so impatient for this announcement. It happens at 1am est. I guess I'll wake up to the news.

[random folio]

until we get an official announcement we rly dont know how much itll be :/

the prices we have now could be placeholders

[topaz nexus]

The previous comic update went live like 10 minutes early so if anyone is staying up for this might be worth it to check early

[proven vector]

It might also be worth it to watch the current Malaysian and Australian listings to see if their pictures update, as well as the JP Tamagotchi YouTube channel to see if they upload a video for it early

[outer idol]

Goodnight guys, see you when the news drops!!

[proven vector]

Have a good night!!

[upper cobalt]

It's officially 12 AM in Japan right?

[solemn flame]

Yeah but they never release stuff at midnight japan time

[short vapor]

PEAK IS BACK ON THE MENU

[short vapor]

why would they do a midnight announcement for a kids' toy

just wait a bit it will be okay lol

let's all do some breathing exercises

[proven vector]

https://tenor.com/view/contagion-spongebob-sick-ill-cough-gif-16161810

[topaz nexus]

About 12-ish hours to go

[proven vector]

Here we go, 5/21 at 1:00PM (JST)

[gloomy arch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1150911572164751431/1372758362814681209/meme.gif

[fringe eagle]

We’ll all be in tamagotchi paradise once this is finally announced

[crude merlin]

its a bit weird how wishy washy listings have been about the battery it takes, earlier listings said it uses AAA, then changed it to just "yes it uses batteries", and now a cr2032 :p

[solemn flame]

Schrodinger's batteries
The Paradise simultaneously takes every kind of battery until it's observed

[crude merlin]

how versatile!

[short vapor]

have you considered that these are just toy shop owners who don't actually know 100% about everything they sell

these are placeholder listings coming out months ahead of the products

of course they wouldn't have 100% accurate specs

dang thing hasn't even been announced yet

[crude merlin]

yes I realize why it's the case, I think it's just a funny/interesting observation

[proven vector]

Yeah let’s just keep in mind that this is all speculation! Speculating does no harm to anyone as long as we don’t take it as concrete fact

[short vapor]

i'm mainly just asking people to keep their hype in check

this will be announced when it's announced

all in due time

[ivory ridge]

I love spreading misinformation on the internet

[short vapor]

deep breaths until then

[proven vector]

For sure, but it’s still fun to speculate based on the information we have in the meantime! :D

[short vapor]

the tamagotchi paradise will be the FIRST publically available electronic good using an atomic battery

https://tenor.com/view/unlimited-power-star-wars-gif-10270127

[crude merlin]

personally I'm a bit partial to rechargeables, even if bandai hasn't had the greatest track record with them
seems a bit unlikely at this point but we'll see

[proven vector]

Im hesitant of internal rechargeable batteries bc they’re hell to replace if they go bad

[solemn flame]

And it's not even an "if" it's a "when"

[crude merlin]

they usually use pretty standard batts thankfully
I mostly just dont want the device to be super big like AAA devices are, but cr2032 dont really have rechargeable forms and i always feel a bit had about using one-time batteries

I'll take whatever at this point though it's a tama

[proven vector]

My crack theory that I hope is wrong is that it’s the first world-wide spin off tama (like a Deka or Suku)

Uni gets two more years!!!

[crude merlin]

unironically I think it's really weird of them to do something like this when the Uni has connectivity with Plaza, so I could honestly see them pulling a trick to extend the unis lifespan

[short vapor]

killing myself if this is the case

TWO MORE YEARS OF MID
MID FOREVER
MID SUMMER NEVER ENDS

[proven vector]

This is why I’m worried it has a chance at being a spinoff lol. I would love a world wide spinoff but not while the Uni is still running

[crude merlin]

I think the most likely scenario is they'll just try to run both alongside eachother for a bit until Paradise becomes popular enough to overtake the uni/they come up with the new "main" device
y'know, the Nintendo Way™

[short vapor]

i want self contained devices sob sob cry

[proven vector]

Are you saying you dont want more DLC that becomes unavailable forever once servers shut down?

XD

[quaint linden]

crossing my fingers so hard that modders will do their thing once the servers are down 🤞

[short vapor]

i love drm i love somehow not having any ownership over a plastic fucking kids toy

??? who made this up

[crude merlin]

I'm hoping someone's been silently capturing packets of the arena events this whole time

[proven vector]

I don’t know if these are official but they were just posted in the general chat

#tamagotchi-general message

[hushed light]

Oh that looks NICE

[proven vector]

It’s real

That blue one is SO PRETTY

[hushed light]

OH GOD IS GENE MIXING BACK

NOOOOOO

[proven vector]

Looks like it

:)))))

[hushed light]

DAMMIT

[amber cloud]

Oh hello hello

[proven vector]

From what I understand, there are 50 original characters, but 50,000+ possible outcomes

[short vapor]

it sucks that the shell i like the least has my favorite field

[crude merlin]

#study-hall message do I get my internet brownie points now

[amber cloud]

Where did those pics come from

[hushed light]

Some Korean website it looks like

[proven vector]

In general chat from a Korean user, YRS confirmed the source

from a Korean social media app I believe

Naver?

[unique mist]

I'm sad that the green looks like that.... It'd fit better with the blue whereas the pink needed a softer green.... On the other hand, the blue and purple look so cute

[amber cloud]

ngl they do look pretty nice

[hushed light]

The purple shell is sexy

[amber cloud]

idk how to feel about the gene mixing

[crude merlin]

maybe the pieces will be separate and you can do some shell swapping ?

[proven vector]

I loooove the blue one and I’m happy a Wave 1 shell has green too

[hushed light]

I guess in this context it could be fun bc you’re basically making a new species

BUT MY MEMETCHI COLLECTION…

[winged marlin]

I hate it, i hope it's just for the colors because we saw one tama that was the same but with different colors

[hushed light]

I will have to biogenetically engineer my own memetchi

[proven vector]

They look very orb-like

[amber cloud]

Yeah I think that sells it a little for me

[winged marlin]

I like to get all tamas available and the gene mixing doesn't let me do this

[amber cloud]

People whose first Tamagotchi was the On are gonna absolutely flip at the sign of gene mixing

[hushed light]

Same, doing completionist runs encourages me to run the tama more often

[solemn flame]

Wouldn't be surprised if the gene mixing functions differently just from the way it's described

[hushed light]

But if there’s practically unlimited characters and if they do some shit like on the On/Mix where you’re stuck with the same genes for 10+ gens, I would feel discouraged to keep playing

But we’ll have to see it in action

gdi man I was just about to take a shower and then this drops LMAO

[winged marlin]

yes, I still try to go to the gen 100, but i'ts not the same

[hushed light]

now I gotta be stinky & excited

[proven vector]

Stinkcited

[gloomy arch]

AAAAAAGH I LOVE THESE SHELLS SO MUCH

[sudden ivy]

IT’s SO CUTE 🥹🥹

[proven vector]

They’re very round though, I can definitely see them using 2 AAA batteries

[unique mist]

They'll likely be very expensive in Europe so I'm gonna stick to whichever shell I get

Plus knowing me, I'd mess it up

[amber cloud]

the top not being an IR window is interesting

[crude merlin]

they seem to be 40-50 in the US I'm extremely happy about that

[proven vector]

It looks like it comes off somehow

Like a cover

[crude merlin]

it looks like it might be removable

[amber cloud]

Yeah

[crude merlin]

welcome back osu/mesutchi

[hushed light]

What if it’s like the osumesu

[amber cloud]

osutchi / mesutchi lmfao

Yeah

[hushed light]

Lol same brain

[wheat jewel]

theyre so cute omg

[solemn flame]

See these shells actually look legit not like that one from before

Love that they're doing complex designs on the faceplate

[wheat jewel]

gene mixing return <33 im excited to see how it works

[proven vector]

I don’t see a chain though, I wonder if they’re like iD’s where you can loop a strap in a hole in the back/side

[hushed light]

ngl I do kinda like how the osumesu physically connect to each other, it’s more clunky but it makes the connection FEEL more real

[upper cobalt]

Gene mixing RETURNS

[crude merlin]

yeah
doesn't digimon still use terminals like that?

[proven vector]

Bc both the Osu/Mesu and Tama-Go have chains to keep the port cover from getting lost, but this doesn’t seem to have that?

[crude merlin]

maybe it has some sort of internal plug, iunno

[proven vector]

Maybe it fastens, yeah. I think little kids would lose that the second they take it off though lol

[thorny schooner]

it might have a hinge on the back, too

[crude merlin]

hinge would be smarter I think

[wheat jewel]

im scared of how big it is

cant tell scale from the picture but it looks a little chunky

[proven vector]

Ohhh true! A hinge would be good

[proven vector]

It does look round yeah

[gloomy arch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1150911572164751431/1372758362814681209/meme.gif

[wheat jewel]

which is fiiine as long as it isnt bigger rhan the pix ill survive

bigger than the pix tho and ill die on sight

[crude merlin]

I was imagining something like the KYY23 does it

[proven vector]

Ohhh my headphone case does that

[crude merlin]

I'm gonna be very cross if it ends up bigger than the pix, we were doing so well with the watch form factors 😡
honestly I'm a tad miffed that it isn't a watch again this time, but i can handle it as long as it isn't massive

[solemn flame]

Hopefully it holds up better than the kyy23 if it's that because my kyy23 port cover will not go back on properly

[crude merlin]

yeah they do feel pretty flimsy, I was looking mostly at the idea of the mechanism
you might need to clean the area around the ports btw. when I got mine, they didn't close, and when I cleaned all the gunk caked in the holes, now they close again

[obtuse warren]

I don't, they look like a 4 year olds toy...!!

[wheat jewel]

im curious if the other devices areas will be unlockable or if the unlockable areas are also device specific…

[proven vector]

To be fair which tamagotchi doesn’t look like a kids toy xD

[wheat jewel]

it IS a kids toy tbf

[steel salmon]

It has genetics? Now I feel like a fool for doubting

[amber cloud]

it’s okay though, one of the website recommends giving it to 8 year olds

[proven vector]

The last sentence says you can unlock other areas! :3

[amber cloud]

So it’s actually an 8 year olds toy

[obtuse warren]

I feel like the Uni does...to a degree however the Ons were so cool...!!

[wheat jewel]

i saw that i just dont know exactly what that means

idk how many areas there are that arent device specific

[proven vector]

I think it just means based on the shell you get you start off in that area, and as you play you unlock the other two

[crude merlin]

idk I kinda love the way the faceplate looks. the natural art that's sticking through the cracked egg design....
it's like the pix except less cheap looking sorry

[upper cobalt]

Swapping faceplates will be a pain in the butt now

If it's even possible

[wheat jewel]

i hope theres more areas than that if they have enough genetics for 50k characters

[crude merlin]

I really really like the faceplate for the pink/purple one but I kind of prefer the green/pink shell
maybe a shell swap is in the cards for me after all

I hope to God it's actually able to be disassembled
I have a Pix Grudge

[wheat jewel]

it doesnt look easy to disassemble but its impossible to say rn 😩

i cant wait to get my hands on this thing

hoping to god its less than $60

[obtuse warren]

Tbh, I do actually like the faceplates, particularly of the purple one however there's just something about it as a whole, like a "je ne se quoi"...it's giving preschooler vibes...??!!

[steel salmon]

Osu/mesu connection

[crude merlin]

osu/mesu connection is actually real oh my god

[steel salmon]

AHHHHHHHHHHHH

[wheat jewel]

oh hell yeah they can hate eachother

[ivory ridge]

Yaaay! Real screenshots this time! Finally >:3 I love the shell colors <3

the sprite style is so cute

[ivory ridge]

...I hate that I need...ALL of these...

[topaz nexus]

Looks like DLC too

[upper cobalt]

I AM SCREAMING2

[hushed light]

It DOES connect like the osumesu I was right

[amber cloud]

it says it comes with an item code which you can enter on the Paradise to get an item

[upper cobalt]

AHHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHHAAHHAHQHSBBQNSJQJJDJQJZWNJZKSI39ZKI[÷9

[amber cloud]

Not DLC

[odd flicker]

this part explains the "mixing" thing

[thin zenith]

I'm losing my mind about this

[ivory ridge]

Whoaaaaa it's not m!x gene mixing but like, DNA gene mixing

[ivory ridge]

WAIT SORRY THE ORANGE BOY IS SO CUTE

[odd flicker]

it says it inherits the color and eyes... but the body is completely diff

[amber cloud]

More of the blobby little freaks

its either a normal box size or an american box size and a giant tama pls

[ivory ridge]

YO THEY BROUGHT BACK FAST FOOD BUT WITH BABIES

[keen topaz]

Babies!!!!

[crude merlin]

welcome back digimon

[wheat jewel]

oh the little bonnets are so cute

[obtuse warren]

And the jump game which has been an absolute favourite of mine when we've had it on the uni...!!

[proven vector]

THE BLUE ONE IS SO FREAKING GOOD AAAAAA

[cursive plaza]

Raise two babies per area i guess

[sudden ivy]

It’s big T . T

[upper cobalt]

This has to be the best Tamagotchi yet

[ivory ridge]

OH TRUE I wonder if it'll be controlled by the dial or the buttons??

[upper cobalt]

I don't mind the size, I don't mind the connectivity, IT'S PEAK

[quaint linden]

someone wake me up in july pls. knocking myself out until then

[wheat jewel]

i mind the size a little bit i wanted to be able to travel witj it 😔

[crude merlin]

the fact that it has some variety of gene mixing means it's worth it to me

[amber cloud]

I wonder what the guide is like

[quaint linden]

... ah but I'm getting my P's next month. ok maybe don't knock me out actually I'll be busy

[keen topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/make-it-rain-dollars-bullish-bull-market-gif-2610374990384321645

[crude merlin]

that's all I wanted was an accessible gene mixer 😭

[proven vector]

It’s $45 USD!!! That’s actually really good for a color tama release???

[wheat jewel]

i dont think its gene mixing like the ON

[limber roost]

Ugh mixing

[crude merlin]

honestly, that's fine

[upper cobalt]

I think the gene mixing is optional too

[crude merlin]

optional gene mixing is actually a win/win

grrrrrrrr give it noooooow.

[wheat jewel]

im glad the shells are so prettyy

[steel salmon]

I can't believe gene mixing and "50,000 characters" is real

[wheat jewel]

took me so long to get a uni cause i didnt like the shells 😩

[crude merlin]

gonna have to decide which color I want because I kinda like them all

[wheat jewel]

i cant believe thats what comes from an axolotl and a frog

[odd flicker]

according to the text they can only inherit body color and eye shape

[obtuse warren]

Buy all 3...we need all 3...!!

[proven vector]

2 AAA batteries confirmed

[steel salmon]

The mouth seems like it comes from the axolotl, no?

Or is that just the base body's mouth

[wheat jewel]

guh i was hoping it was chargeable but i guess i finally need to invest in rechargeable batteries

[crude merlin]

get Eneloops

[wheat jewel]

so maybe face and color

[crude merlin]

they're showing up on the US tama site now

[hushed light]

https://tamagotchi-official.com/us/item/01_1000/

In English

[odd flicker]

they seem to be in all languages

[crude merlin]

45 green ones

[proven vector]

https://tamagotchi-official.com/us/item/01_999/

Obsessed with this

[odd flicker]

checked spanish french and german too

[obtuse warren]

I'm actually pretty guttered that it's not rechargeable like the Uni, however it feels like I'm alone in that aspect, what improvements does having to manually change the batteries every week add...??!!

[wheat jewel]

ur not alone im gonna miss charging 😩

[untold herald]

No wifi, no events etc 😔 physical connection...

[proven vector]

In my opinion it’s better because if your Uni battery goes bad you’re going to go through hell trying to replace that

[solemn flame]

Easily replaceable batteries. The batteries in the Uni are going to inevitably go bad and then you won't be able to use your Uni anymore unless you know how to solder

[ivory ridge]

Eat up @proven vector

[proven vector]

IM GOING TO HAVE TO GET ALL THREE AAAAA

BECAUSE I LOVE THE BLUE SHELL

[wheat jewel]

yeah but my uni battery never went bad, and i got real lucky and my smart battery didnt either so it turns into “how much money do i need to spend on batteries”

[obtuse warren]

The purple one is the most aesthetically pleasing imo...!!

[ivory ridge]

I love that you can zoom in even further, is that like...looking into their mouth or?? Does that show their "genes"?

[hushed light]

It’s their cells, presumably this is how you cure sickness??

[untold herald]

I hope this will be a worlwide release, here in Europe they don't exist except for the Gen 1, 2, 3.

[solemn flame]

Also I think recharging your batteries separately is more convenient anyway? Like you can have two pairs of batteries and have one already charged so that when your tama dies you just pop out the batteries and pop in the charged ones and you're ready to go you don't have to leave your tama chained to a wall or computer for a little while before you can carry it with you again

[hushed light]

It mentions going down to cell level to make them feel better

[solemn flame]

Then the dead pair can just be off charging

[ivory ridge]

OH that's crazy and cute at the same time

[proven vector]

It won’t last as long as the Tamas that take other batteries though. If you play your Uni every day for 20 years it’s not going to last as long as a Tama from 1996 that just takes disposable batteries

[solemn flame]

It will eventually is the thing. I wouldn't expect it to have gone bad so soon

[wheat jewel]

this is an investment i wont have the money for after buying the tama but thats a me being poor problem

[hushed light]

NGGGHHH I’m trying not to get upset bc this is all so awesome and fun but memetchiiiiiiii

[ivory ridge]

I'm sad I don't see Meme either ;-;

But maybe she's still there who knows!

Rechargable batteries and a charger can be found for 20 $.

[hushed light]

I wonder how the sitter will function here? Because you KNOW they ain’t adding a pause mode

[solemn flame]

Also you can use the same rechargeable batteries for every tama so you only have to buy those once.
When your Uni batteries go bad you're gonna have to make an investment to replace that and it'll be paying per tama

[wheat jewel]

i appreciate u guys trying to help and sharing ill be bookmarking for later but it feels like “oh u can afford this dw” and i definitely cannot right now 😩

but in the future yes! i cant wait to have rechargeable batteries

maybe ill actually play with my pix again

It looks like the dial sticks out of the carrying pouch too, so theoretically you can play your tama while keeping it in the protective pouch the whole time

[crude merlin]

im curious on what lab mode might mean. it doesnt seem like something that they go into detail on. theyre just like "oh hey enjoy the new lab mode! anyways."

[red field]

i guess gene mix

[crude merlin]

iunno it seems like they kinda partition gene mixing under a different name

[static escarp]

google translated so take with a grain of salt but this is what it gave me on the original graphic

[cursive plaza]

I guess lab mode is like a dex

See abkve

Or its the “god” commands it seems

[crude merlin]

so its basically just like the town...?

[cursive plaza]

But items to feed, games, dex

Tamadex

[ivory ridge]

I'll run Tamas with you 😔 💕 💖

[wheat jewel]

god finally the tamadex

[crude merlin]

cant believe i have a whole damn new pokedex to fill out 😒

[ivory ridge]

I'm thinking you can like, buy stuff for them and place it so they interact with it

Dunno what it translates to

[wheat jewel]

50k character tamadex completionists get ready!

[upper cobalt]

This is the cutest thing ever

[ivory ridge]

Gotta make a HUUUUUGE checklist for this

[crude merlin]

i can read katakana and i can confirm it says "device" on the top and "paradise" on the bottom im so helpful

[solemn flame]

Checklists are good

MAMETCHIIIII UGHFHHHSHWH

[hushed light]

I loveeee the new art style so much, everyone has so much character

Unlike the Uni where they’re all 😐

[wheat jewel]

its so cute

doesnt seem like theres accessories so theyre not limited by that

[red field]

let's make it your own paradise, 3 tama fields to play in, the device is water

[crude merlin]

they look very large on the screen

i hope it has closeups...

[proven vector]

Thank god

[upper cobalt]

Awww I'll miss accessories tho

[wheat jewel]

i dont think ill miss it if it means more lively art

[proven vector]

They detracted from the character designs imo. Especially when the DLC characters already had clothes on too

Like Pyonderella

[random folio]

it says there are 3 fields to play in and the blue water shell starts in the water field

[wheat jewel]

as fun as accessories were im excited to get a good look at the characters

the uni characters were so bland cause u were meant to dress them up

also is woopatchi not here did they replace him that fast with the little pink guy

[ivory ridge]

Ah, so yeah nothing about getting stuff to decorate your environment with. But the English websites do mention shopping so

[upper cobalt]

That's true!!

[ivory ridge]

That'd be really REALLY cute

[upper cobalt]

Maybe we'll get something small like little bows or headbands tho?

[random folio]

there are accessories

[upper cobalt]

REALLY?

[random folio]

yes

[upper cobalt]

We mean in-game accessories

[random folio]

the strap comes with the bow, the pouch with a bag

yes

[crude merlin]

oh the codes, right

[random folio]

look at the circle graphic

[crude merlin]

curious....

[unique mist]

Couldn't it be the album-like screenshot? The one showing off the different Tamas/species

[crude merlin]

i just realized, with the dial, no closeup would be a huge missed opportunity, but it doesnt seem like its in that image

[red field]

ye C:

[crude merlin]

the japanese translation seems to imply this yes

[upper cobalt]

Ohh right!!!!

[thin zenith]

I'm glad we can unlock all 3 fields

[crude merlin]

it seems like the "eyes and color" gene mixing might only apply to the babies, perhaps the adults inherit more features

[gloomy arch]

my mom likes him too

[crude merlin]

really really annoying of bandai to not put all these pictures on the english listings.

[solemn flame]

Oh yeah I see what you’re saying!

[proven vector]

I wonder if they’re one-time use codes or reusable?

[crude merlin]

this doesnt expressly feel like a continuation of a previous model. it has a pix-like design, but item codes, but color screen, but gene mixing, but different biomes
whole new direction...

[gloomy arch]

we have an eternitchi tamadex 🥹

[ivory ridge]

Accessoriiiiiiiies? or items?

[random folio]

zoom in one the new born tamagotchi planet, feed delicious food, clean up poop on the field, treat diseased cells.... and in the new lab mode there are mini games, shopping and an encyclopedia

[north heron]

i thought it meant the whole tama, like eyes, shape, color etc up to adult or even adult

[static escarp]

LMAO

[proven vector]

Cure TamaCancer

[gloomy arch]

baby game

[north heron]

true and real

[crude merlin]

to me it looks like its localized on the illustration with the baby specifically

[random folio]

the pouch is def an accessory

[crude merlin]

itd be cool if they went all out and made the characters more expressive but also kept accessories

[static escarp]

whats interesting to me is that the offspring between axolotl and frog is its own thing on the chart already

[red field]

😮

[cursive plaza]

It has different eyes it seems XD

On level of gene mixing

[upper cobalt]

I am so excited I need to pee

[static escarp]

frogs eyes, but still worries me

[north heron]

it seems the gene mixing is limited to eyes and color

[crude merlin]

the part above that lineage chart says "body size and color" on the google lens translation
not sure about how body size factors into this but

[ivory ridge]

Pouch?

[red field]

yup that's what i meant like eye color and shape etc

[cursive plaza]

Size though is alittle more interesting

[ivory ridge]

Oooohhh it's cuuute

[cursive plaza]

Or teeny whales

[static escarp]

i think it means to say body shape

[cursive plaza]

And giant seahorses

[crude merlin]

maybe, but it definitely didnt inherit the body shape in that visual example

[proven vector]

Isn’t that pouch this P1 shell?

[crude merlin]

maybe its only a possible thing to inherit, but weird they didnt show it off in the illustration

[static escarp]

yeah, i wonder if its a taxonomic chart and its picking the middle "ancestor" between them

[random folio]

in the example it says the baby has eye and color genes

[crude merlin]

somewhat reasonable, hmmm....

[static escarp]

the thing above the offspring

even if its reduced gene mixing the cheaper price and cute art will still convice me

[crude merlin]

did the google lens translation above just make something up?

[random folio]

It's passed down to the next generation, so you'll want to keep raising it!
With eye and color inheritance, there are over 50,000 different character looks.

[red field]

so i can customise it itself in lets say the lab?

[thin zenith]

I think you can only inherit the face and color, but the bodytype depends on what you feed them/how/where they're raised

[static escarp]

oh right i forgot that part

that makes the most sense

[random folio]

the jp indeed only talks about the eyes and color. and the example shows how the adult from the axolotl and frog only has changed color and eyes from the same type of adult in the chart above

seems like gene mixing will only be limited to eye shape and body color

[static escarp]

the 12 species and 50 different characters part is also throwing me off

[gloomy arch]

this will be 200% better than the pix imo

[thin zenith]

I'm really excited for this

[static escarp]

but i guess well see tomorrow

[crude merlin]

i guess i shouldnt expect Lens translation to be perfect but its weird to me that it would outright make up Body shape/size

it is what it is

[random folio]

well it says 12 species and 50+ tamagotchi

its not just 50, but more than 50

[static escarp]

yeah

[proven vector]

What does it mean by species though 🤔

[random folio]

i think the 12 are the 12 we see in the circle

[gloomy arch]

im assuming thats the second port of those things at the end of the first comic (i.e. Land/Toddle)

[random folio]

altho there are more on the packaging...?

[static escarp]

maybe 12 adults and the added baby+child+teen stages make up hte 50+

[random folio]

maybe the 12 are the 12 teen stages

[crude merlin]

my theory is it means the land/water/sky thing, plus the "toddle" "jump" thing we saw in the comic

[static escarp]

[crude merlin]

remember in the comic the tamas had a secondary label below land/water/sky

[red field]

i wonder if we get this book too with the tama and the landyard of it's only in jp?

[static escarp]

excited to become a tamagotchi researcher doing dastardly experiments on the wildlife

yeah thats the care manual!

[random folio]

and theres 50 distinct characters and then 50.000 possible gene variations?

[static escarp]

it says it comes with it in the english listings

[proven vector]

The lanyard is sold separately, the book is included

[red field]

oo outside jp to?, like us, uk, eu?

[crude merlin]

im actually reasonably sure this is what this means
it even says "species"

[static escarp]

i love your cat cursor

[crude merlin]

i guess there might just be one category that the comic doesnt show...?

[proven vector]

I’m not sure, the pouches and lanyards aren’t listed on the US site yet 3:

[random folio]

on the package im counting about 47 adults, so maybe its indeed 50 distinct adult tamas?????? :tamas: and 50k gene variations??????

[crude merlin]

lmao thanks i didnt even notice it in the pic

oh wait there are also duplicates in that picture, hmmmm

[red field]

yeah, same in germany, uk too, maybe it's a jp thing with landyard?

the book i can't find any mention of it in us, uk, germany, only 2 pics on the device and nothing about a book

[crude merlin]

the non-jp listings also only have 2 pictures, so i think they might not have completed putting everything up yet

maybe once an "official" announcement pops up, theyll add the rest

[red field]

aahhh i didn't see it D: my bad ❤️

i can't decide which color to buy D:

[crude merlin]

what i want is to have the green/pink shell with the purple's faceplate
but considering we dont know how repairable it is yet, its probably better to just go with one or the other for now
but which one.........

[red field]

oh yes!, i would love to see that match ❤️

[random folio]

oh i overlooked text on the bottom. below the adorable octopus it says: even if it turns into an adult, it keeps the eye shape and body color (from the teen)

so unlike meets we will know what genes change in the teen version and it wont change when it turns into an adult

[proven vector]

My really bad interpretation lol

[severe wasp]

The arrows are already colour coded lol

[gloomy arch]

Tamagotchi ON 2: Return to Paradise

[proven vector]

Oh true pfft

[crude merlin]

kind of a double edged sword
itll be nice seeing your teen have really cute genes and knowing that it doesnt have a chance to ditch them all and become a horrible abomination as an adult
the neutered gene mixing is a bit of a shame though. it is better than nothing though and the wealth of chars will likely make up for it

[gloomy arch]

maybe the worm is Sky/Crawl???

[cursive plaza]

Thats 9, is there a hidden 4th area

[red field]

omg i just figure it out how to change it, u just take off the lid, then just put green on it 😄 . Maybe the lid is with magnets? for it to stay on and not accedently pop off

Should we ping this?

[cursive plaza]

Oh its just incomplete

[crude merlin]

Roar, Toddle, Reptile? Plant?
flap, chirp, bug? crystal?
glide, leap, tentacles, ?
thats my theory

[proven vector]

They might be on hinges though

[crude merlin]

crystals seem to be a thing in the sky version for sure

[proven vector]

So unable to swap tops

[red field]

can't see any in the background

seems like it would break eventoaly if it was on hinges

maybe it's a lid with magnets?

[crude merlin]

if it has hinges you should be able to knock out the pins. will be a hassle but hopefully doable
i also agree that you dont see the top in that pic at all

[proven vector]

It looks like the top of the blue shell is seen back here

[crude merlin]

well actually...

[proven vector]

yeah lol

[crude merlin]

darnit

[proven vector]

XD

[red field]

darn D:

[crude merlin]

youd think that the purple and blue lids would bump into each other if they flipped up like that, though

[red field]

maybe the pin are far back ?

[crude merlin]

it looks like the blue lid is kinda "covering" the purple which is odd

[thin zenith]

I'm glad the tops are connnected in a way tho, i wouldn't trust myself not to lose them

[winged marlin]

I don’t think we will get a sanrio tama this time around

Don’t see how they would fit hello kitty there lol

[crude merlin]

this model seems frankly incompatible with any kind of brand collab

[winged marlin]

I wonder if we will have a lot of shells

Or if it’s going to be like the pix that didn’t have any collabs

[crude merlin]

having the shell influence the starting area kinda complicates things with the shell, theyll have to release 3 at a time or play favorites

[wheat jewel]

im hoping for some different shells

[crude merlin]

im begging for more shells

[wheat jewel]

or dlc area like the uni

[winged marlin]

Yes, or the shell could be a new environment like a sanrio one

But I think it’s too complicated

[proven vector]

It seems like they’re already playing favorites with Land based on the pouches lol

[cursive plaza]

I find it weird on the meets when its like “have your tama marry and have babies with hello kitty or keroppi”

[solemn knot]

im just so glad we have an ocean themed area again😭

[stable island]

i think i want irukatchi!! i love oceany stuff

[upper cobalt]

I can't decide which one looks better

[sudden ivy]

Although it doesn’t go w any of the shell colors

[red field]

I wonder how the buttons are, they look hard plastic and not soft plastic, get a feeling like the on button but harder

[crude merlin]

i believe im gonna have to get the Land because i really really dig the shell for it and i kinda hate the color combo on the Sky, even though i think sky is gonna be my favorite biome and i love the faceplate

[north heron]

it’s kinda weird how the lanyards have a cell phone strap and a built in latch

[stable island]

WAITTTT img one of my fave spots to take tama pics is at the harbour near me!! the blue paradise is gonna be so cute there😭😭😭

like ok h20!!!!

[crude merlin]

[crude merlin]

the latch is actually awesome, lanyards are a bit of a hassle because its always too close to my face when i try using it on my neck

[red field]

coudn't find emma

[proven vector]

I think the Paradise won’t have a chain, and instead have a hole you loop the keychain strap into like the iD

[random folio]

i just ran it quickly thru translate

[crude merlin]

i need to find someone who really likes the pink/purple shell but prefers the Land faceplate....

[keen topaz]

„Once upon… Life!“

[stable island]

i noticed that too!!! the dreamer in me wants to believe that it means we’re getting more accessories that haven’t been announced yet

charms plz????

[solemn knot]

im hoping they go all out for accessories on this one!!

[crude merlin]

btw, doesnt seem like any indication of gender on this one besides the fact that breeding exists

[red field]

i do, i like the faceplate of pink land, but prefer sky shell with land top

[crude merlin]

i wonder if theyre just gonna do away with gender entirely and anyone can breed with anyone.....?

[wheat jewel]

i hope its at least possible to customize it

[keen topaz]

Blob x blob = more blob

[north heron]

i feel like mametchi and mimitchi having the same species in the comic implies gender

[wheat jewel]

the DREAM

[crude merlin]

hmmm. maybe we might have to work something out when it comes out...

[red field]

ye

[proven vector]

I don’t think species would imply gender, especially since Mametchi and Mimitchi have always been boy and girl respectively on tamagotchi’s with gender-specific characters

[north heron]

brother that’s what i’m saying lol

[proven vector]

? I’m confused lol you said you think it does imply gender right?

[north heron]

like mametchi is the boy ver and mimitchi is the girl ver

of the same species

[crude merlin]

i see what you mean
the breeding chart also has two of the same exact species together

hmmmm.

[proven vector]

Oh I see, that wasn’t clear to me, sorry! I still kinda doubt it though considering the gene mixing aspect too

But maybe

[odd flicker]

but there's 12 species and over 50 characters
if there's only boy and girl variants per species, there would only be 24 characters

[crude merlin]

i wonder if that number includes children characters. did they do that on the connection?

50 / 12 is about 4-ish

[odd flicker]

1 baby, 3 toddlers + 12 teens = 16
50-16=34 adults

[proven vector]

Based on the box art there’s at least 35 unique adults

[odd flicker]

still not enough

[sudden ivy]

These are all they thems in my eyes I’m sorry

[north heron]

sounds about right for a bandai product in 2025 ngl

[crude merlin]

50+ chars feels so connection-esque

[odd flicker]

also the wording on that image heavily implies the 50+ number refers to adults specifically

[random folio]

csondering its so cheap and theres 50 adults, i.e. 16 adults per area, im calling it now: unlocking different areas will require connecting to other devices

[crude merlin]

ohhh yeah, "grow into 50 different chars"

that might still be "growing into child/teen" but thats a good catch

[thin zenith]

I hope not!
It does say "as you grow your character other lands will be unlocked"

[proven vector]

I think there’s 46 unique adults on the box art actually

[lone coral]

It actually says 50,000??

[crude merlin]

who's gonna take one for the team and make a little connector emulator box like Digimon devices have

[drifting heron]

They brought back gene mixing

[random folio]

funny thing: it doesnt say that about unlocking in the japanese description

it only says there are 3 and with the x device you will start in this area

[drifting heron]

they're trying to trick the japanese youth into buying all 3 shells

[gloomy arch]

im assuming this little amoeba screen will be the "Lab" mode

[crude merlin]

i think it would be a bit weird to invent new wording that changes the implication of the features on the device
although they dont go into "lab mode" at all on the english text and bandai still seems to have a somewhat subpar translation team, so uh, nervous

[proven vector]

Based on this picture it seems like thats just all the way zoomed in on your tama to the cellular level

[crude merlin]

i dont wanna see my tama's cells :/

[gloomy arch]

They brought back gene mixing. and it could be better????

[random folio]

lab mode seems to me to just be another word for town/tamaverse: basically where u go to play games and shop

since this is a "prehistoric" new tama planet there wont be actual cities

[gloomy arch]

might need to change this

[crude merlin]

those good old prehistoric shoulder strap bags and ferris wheels

[drifting heron]

we are the new dr banzos

[random folio]

and u the player basically take the role of scientist with the "lab" mode

I agree, it seems like any games or interaction we do with the tamagotchis is from an outsider perspective like a scientist or something. It also seems like when they connect they’re getting transported via spaceships lol

[crude merlin]

its entirely on-brand to say tama planets can just spawn theme parks on its surface tbf lol

[upper cobalt]

THIS IS TOO CUTE

[drifting heron]

it looks like they're on the moon or smth

[upper cobalt]

THE LIL BLOB

[gloomy arch]

yea banzo died after the 25th anniversary. peacefully 😌

[solemn flame]

I was about to say why do they connect on the moon XD

[crude merlin]

vintage era spaceships too, exciting

[random folio]

well maybe tama planets are golf ball size and we just fucking nano bots on it that build theme parks. obviously.

[crude merlin]

maybe this is a moon/planet thats between your planet and your partners planet, they meet in the middle to hang out

[cursive portal]

I would say fix it, but there's someone who's currently working on the page and will atomize you if you touch it right now

[proven vector]

It seems like all connections happen on the moon??

[random folio]

looks like it!

[drifting heron]

maybe the new tama planet's moon?

[random folio]

and since we can zoom out to see the planet it makes sense. one screen even says the planet is your own personal paradise. i.e. every player has their own unique planet.

[crude merlin]

each person having their own planet is so fun

(mormon tamagotchi /j)

[random folio]

we alrdy had the spaceship travel with the tama search on the uni, so thats not too weird

[wheat jewel]

spaceship travel has always been on brand

[stable island]

i’m rlly curious how japan will feel about this new design?? they’ve always had rlly cute models and paradise is a MAJOR departure from anything they’ve received… just compare the pics haha it’s giving fischer price😶‍🌫️

i like it!!!! but like it’s such a major aesthetic change

[random folio]

yeahhhhhh im not into the design tbh :////

[stable island]

ya i’m sick of being toxic positive i hate it LMAO

[random folio]

i miss the round faceplate..... i alrdy hated the wonky uni one. this is worse

[stable island]

but i’m still like hyped and happy for everyone ofc

[proven vector]

I love the blue design lol

[solemn flame]

I mean it's not as big of a change from the model right before it which Japan also had

[proven vector]

I’m not even gonna lie I genuinely like the blue design

[crude merlin]

its extremely pix-like which is a bit of a mixed bag imo, but i feel like they pulled it off for the most part

[stable island]

which i also didn’t like😔

[stable island]

everyone’s tea is valid like i’m happy ppl like them don’t get me wrong

i’m def getting blue

[sudden ivy]

The only thing I dislike rn is the chonky size

[random folio]

real. it looks like a fucking toy for a 3 year old. 😭 i dont like ANY of the shells. the design fucking sucks. the top part? bleh. the roundness? the dial? it sucks lmao

[cursive portal]

I remember when I was like "The Uni can't be for Japan too, its too simple compared to previous designs"

[proven vector]

I think the Uni is uglier imo

[north heron]

yea i’m also going blue

[sudden ivy]

I want my tamas pocketable

[crude merlin]

uni is for sure uglier in my book

nickelodeon 🤮

[proven vector]

Yet it got a JP release

[drifting heron]

the creature

[proven vector]

So I don’t think JP is gonna be picky about this

[stable island]

i cannot deny i miss the days of p’s and and meets designs😔 some random tried to come for me earlier haha saying well it’s a toy, like ya ALL tamas are and those ones were rlly cute😭😭

[solemn flame]

I'm having deja vu to the Uni design reveal where I must once again stand as a fan of the fischer price aesthetic

[random folio]

the paradise is like a pix, but a billion times uglier somehow. the pix at least had a full faceplate 😭

[stable island]

lmaoooo

the hate balances the love🫡

[north heron]

bro the paradise is just a big connection with a funny dial on it

[stable island]

is it??? lol

[upper cobalt]

It's growing on me icl

[lone coral]

I think it looks better than the uni 🤷‍♀️

[proven vector]

I don’t think people have to be ‘toxic positive’ about it but ngl calling it fucking ugly is also rude lmao you can express dislike for something without the vitriol

[random folio]

the connections are cute cuz they are small. the paradise is a pix size connection. but like. a baby toy

[stable island]

i didn’t like the uni either, but that at least felt a little less gaudy haha

[solemn flame]

I loved the Uni I even had "Uni Design Lover" In my name for awhile because of all the hate it was getting XD

[stable island]

valid!! i mean, im a smart apologist hahaha

[thin zenith]

I honestly love the paradise design, but everyone has a different taste ^^

[sudden ivy]

Okay but smart was cute

[upper cobalt]

The only thing I don't like about the new design is how reflective the plastic is, it looks a bit cheap, I prefer the matte finish on the Unis. But at the same time the Pix has the same look and it's so good

[sudden ivy]

I liked minimalism of it

[solemn flame]

I thought it was boring because of the minimalism XD

[north heron]

the angel uni showed me that, for most people, ugly = not pastel pink/blue

[brazen basin]

The shell looks a little clunky imo but I’ll probably still get one regardless if gameplay is fun

[crude merlin]

my issues with the device are:
looks big, worried itll be bigger than an ON, wish it was a watch form again
no rechargeable battery, though imo AAA is the second best option because it means i get to use eneloops
gene mixing is a bit neutered it seems
the dial looks cheap, if it has bad tactility im gonna be steamed
i think going back to prongs is a bit weird, i do kinda wish it had more options for connectivity like wifi or at least bluetooth
i want the pink/green shell but i want to start with the Sky and i want the Sky faceplate 😡
other than that it looks good, and we have barely any info about it anyways

[solemn flame]

It definitely looks bigger than an On to me

[stable island]

i also had uni DENIER in my name last year lmaooo i was in the trenches

[lone coral]

We know it won’t be rechargeable??

[wheat jewel]

the physical connectivity is cute and i like it but man im so mad they didnt use wifi to connect with friends on the uni

[solemn flame]

Yep that's been confirmed now

[crude merlin]

confirmed to use AAA batterues yes

[solemn flame]

On the official website

[queen flint]

What if these two can make a Togetchi

[random folio]

2 AAA batteries

[stable island]

thanks godddd for the batteries

[upper cobalt]

I love the boxes so much

[lone coral]

Ugh at least it wom’t be a battery hog like the pix hopefully

[sudden ivy]

Same!

[stable island]

ya the box is cute this time around!! hopefully we get the same as japan

[lone coral]

The English boxes will be much worse I fear

[sudden ivy]

I think that’s for Asia region tho 😂

[crude merlin]

imo wifi should be a standard from now on, but not used as a gimmick/a crutch. just used for long-distance connections, important updates, and fun stuff like Plaza connectivity

[upper cobalt]

Meowtchi might be one of my new favorite characters 😭

My name twin x)

[crude merlin]

kinda like how bluetooth is used on the ON

[lone coral]

These people said it best

[solemn flame]

The problem with long distance connections is once the servers go down those would also go down
The way the Uni currently connects thankfully has no reliance on servers

[drifting heron]

the english box will be the size of a refrigerator

[obsidian nimbus]

Apparently a hot take but I really love the new designs lol

[brazen basin]

Now with 50% more air!

[wheat jewel]

oh i love the minimalistic designs! but i understand why people dont like them

[crude merlin]

meh, i at least think that long-distance comms that might shut down is better than no long-distance comms at all

[cursive plaza]

No memetchi eh?

[random folio]

nope

[proven vector]

I’d rather have in person connection that long distance connection that’ll shut down and no longer become a feature

[crude merlin]

the Pix does it best but im gonna have some serious issues if they put another damn camera on one of these things again

[cursive plaza]

Connect to main tama planet

[crude merlin]

local comms should never shut down

[hushed light]

I think this theory has some merit it’s a cool concept at least

[cursive plaza]

I guess she looks more like a person than the animal designs

[cursive portal]

Girl just be Bodtcher and make ur own freaky Memetchi

[cursive plaza]

Oyaji absent too

[proven vector]

I dislike the way the pix connects because it’s not really like your tamagotchis are with each other at the same time, it’s like a snapshot of a moment that your tamagotchi connects with

[drifting heron]

not enough people are talking about Horhotchi's open mouth sprite and how cursed it is

[cursive plaza]

Not cursed I love it

[wheat jewel]

why not both!

[solemn flame]

I'm not gonna like I keep thinking how Horhotchi is kind of mid

[crude merlin]

theyd have to intentionally plan it as obtusely as possible to make local comms dependent on servers
which i mean. bandai. but also Nintendo's old consoles still use local just fine

[lone coral]

Does anyone know if everything will be unlockable on one device?

[hushed light]

This makes me like it more tbh. I thought it looked too plain before

[brazen basin]

Same

[wheat jewel]

a lot of the new designs are pretty plain but i think the art style makes up for it a little

theyre all silly

[north heron]

also with this being $45 can we talk about how everyone who bought an on/pix at $60 were just actually being ripped off LMAO

[wheat jewel]

i think all the color devices are a rip off

[upper cobalt]

Are there any pictures of the US boxes?

[brazen basin]

Imagine paying retail price for an On🥲

[drifting heron]

imagine paying for an ON

[sudden ivy]

I intrigued about the pricing this time

Like what did they cut to lower them

[brazen basin]

Me with 2 that I barely use anymore:

[crude merlin]

its nice to get some more plain/vintage-like designs after weve had pretty complex designs for a bit
i think that i prefer the more complex designs on modern color devices but a fresh direction will always be nice

[queen flint]

I think the new device would be perfect if they added him:

[proven vector]

It doesn’t seem to have a gimmick that requires a lot of power, like a camera or WiFi connectivity.

[wheat jewel]

im just obsessed with how cute the art is

[crude merlin]

also no rechargeable battery

[sudden ivy]

Yea that is true

[wheat jewel]

i fear they cut cost on the dial quality

[crude merlin]

myaaaaaaaaah

[sudden ivy]

In my mind color screens were fixed at 60 usd XD

[proven vector]

His teeth 🥹🤍

[crude merlin]

meowtchi is gonna such a basic pick favorite but they absolutely nailed it

[ebon anchor]

I'll be a basic bitch all day if it means I get to love meowtchi with all my heart

[wheat jewel]

they feel more like a fox than a cat to me but theyre still kitty and thats what matters

[crude merlin]

what is a fox if not a silly kitty?

[ebon anchor]

I'm so curious on how the genes really work?? Like did they really design hundreds of characters? Because the example they gave wasn't like the meets/mix/on

[wheat jewel]

thats a cat that barks at me

[proven vector]

It seems that only the body color and eyes carry on to the next generation

[crude merlin]

personally im really digging the crystal character. crystals are such a weak spot for me. easy way into my heart

[wheat jewel]

pink mame potential

[drifting heron]

[crude merlin]

also check out the twin character

[drifting heron]

the return of blue american mametchi

[proven vector]

But it also seems like the adult you get after breeding is still random, because Axolopatchi and Kawazutchi’s baby ends up being the dumbo octopus adult

[cursive portal]

I wonder if mixing two characters will unlock new characters all together

[ebon anchor]

Ohhh that makes more sense. Neat!

[drifting heron]

i hope we can raise more than one character on this one

[cursive portal]

Which would set it apart from gene mixing on orevious devices

[crude merlin]

i realize that that's literally what its called but i thought you were casually insulting the octopus for a sec
like damn what did it ever do to you

[proven vector]

Noooo xDD

That stupid bird dumbo octopus that I hate

I think this may be the first Tama release I genuinely dont buy within the week or something

making gene mixing only eyes and color will prob make a lot of people mad lol

[crude merlin]

mad is the wrong word but im a bit disappointed

[brazen basin]

Double bogey

[crude merlin]

idk im gonna have to decide if i just want to play it safe and buy the one device for now, or if i should buy two and hope the shell swap wont be too difficult

[empty cipher]

IM CACKLING

[proven vector]

I think I’m more excited for this than I was for the Uni. It has such cute and fun new character designs, the science/nature aspect is really fun, I love the blue shell, the Tamagotchi Encyclopedia is really nice, Ocean characters are returning!! And there’s no weird influencer tie-in (yet)

[crude merlin]

NIZOO friends Tamagotchi Paradise

[cursive portal]

It does feel more refreshing since it has the angle of raising a Paradise and discovering new Tamagotchi species

[brazen basin]

PokoPea Paradise

[cursive portal]

We are Professor Banzo and Mikachu now

[crude merlin]

i hope they make a cameo

[red field]

So I tried to combine some of em, as I mentioned before, i would love if they made this

[brazen basin]

Banzo is an old man. Let him rest

[sudden ivy]

It’s interesting that the shirotamas carried over into the paradise. I would think that they’d introduce a new class of slaves this time

[crude merlin]

NOOOOOOO. i fucking need that right now. dont do this to me

[brazen basin]

SLAVES!?? Lmaoo

[drifting heron]

brown and yellow poop?

[brazen basin]

What a way to describe them 😭

[empty cipher]

Hey you take that back you bitch

Nizou gave us a really pretty shell design!!!!!! (I boxed the woman cards and flashed the entama bin onto the smacard as soon as I got it)

[red field]

i want it too

[ivory ridge]

Ooo I love this

[sudden ivy]

Okay, helpers 🤣🤣

[cursive portal]

No he's gonna research forever until he turns into bones

[red field]

when did i do that?, we talked earlier about diff colors on the tama, i just wanted to show it

[empty cipher]

They mean me but I always do that as a joke

[upper cobalt]

It was on accident!

[crude merlin]

thankfully they arent actually women theyre little anthro critters

the nizoo is great because its a fantastic way to get a cheap Smart with a cheap max-retail-size smacard

[amber cloud]

Yeah ngl I thought the purple one would be the one for me but the blue one looks lovely

[empty cipher]

The joke was I was being defensive and the parenthesis revealed I actually agree/dont even care for the collab

[ebon anchor]

For future reference, not everyone will take that as a joke. Insulting people jokingly is usually done in close friend groups

[red field]

what?, i'm confused

[amber cloud]

I actually adore the art in the cracked part

[ebon anchor]

I love them allll ahhh

[crude merlin]

i am glad that people like the blue because imo its a bit basic to me

[upper cobalt]

Yeah, btw I'm not mad or anything, I sometimes joke like that too but I think we should refrain from calling other people that unless we're sure they're comfortable with it

[empty cipher]

Im thinking the same!! I hate that they keep doing the pink and purple mix for any purple shell. Pix base was literally the ONLY one not to do that :(

[ebon anchor]

I was originally gonna get the blue and purple but seeing the real ones I think I'll get the blue and pink

[solemn flame]

They tagged you by accident, they meant to reply to someone else

[amber cloud]

I feel that

[empty cipher]

Oh I wouldn't do it otherwise dw 💜

[red field]

oooh

[amber cloud]

Pink and green looks a bit weird as a combo to me

[proven vector]

I didn’t take offense xD

[gloomy arch]

[amber cloud]

And I definitely think having the device be 90% plain was a Choice

[empty cipher]

But I also call people bitches affectionately. All yall my bitches and I love yall uwu

[ebon anchor]

Like with meowtchi I will be a basic bitch all day if it means I get a tamagotchi in my favorite color

[brazen basin]

Yeah

[crude merlin]

i like it personally but now that i saw the purple and green mockup i think im gonna have a problem

[brazen basin]

It’s why pink uni looks weird to me

And pink/purple is a lame color combo ☹️

[random folio]

which color will the blue one be....

[empty cipher]

oh good

[solemn flame]

Bandai Employee #1: What does pink have to do with land?
Bandai Employee #2: Uh I dunno just throw some green on it
