Tamagotchi Friends. Tamagotchi Friends

To be honest, I didn’t even think that such a toy as Tamagotchi still existed. I remember my childhood, I remember several of these Tamagotchis, which caused me indescribable delight, but it seemed to me that now, in modern times, these toys, like records and floppy disks, have sunk into oblivion. But it turned out that this is not so - and now you can buy such a toy.

Tamagotchi Friends

I didn’t know whether this toy would be interesting to my daughter - after all, today’s children play with everything, and they are more accustomed to computer games than to some others. It was new for us to have such a thing as a Tamagotchi...

Where to buy

Looking at the price of the toy, I was surprised - in my childhood it was more affordable, but now the prices for it are quite high. But I still decided to buy such a gift for my child for the holiday.

I decided not to buy it in a regular store, although they are there, but to order it online. When you place an order, pay attention to the color of the toy itself, the Tamagotchi itself - there is a grayish leopard print, there is just grey, blue and red, and there is pink. I chose him.

Tamagotchi Toy Review

A box arrived with a toy - approximately the same weight and shape as it was in my childhood. The toy is carefully packed in a package made of cardboard and transparent parts; the Tamagotchi itself sits securely in it and should not be damaged during transportation.

The packaging contains all the necessary information, the manufacturer's address is indicated (of course, China) and much more. The font is, of course, a little small, but you can make it out.

Batteries

Immediately purchase 2 AAA batteries as they are not included. I bought it in advance so that as soon as the package arrives, I can immediately insert it instead of running to the store.

Package

Separately, I would like to note that while you open this package, many pictures from possible games on this small device.

Under the Tamagotchi itself there is a cardboard with drawings of characters that you can choose and run, so to speak, on this Tamagotchi.

I remember earlier, in my time, there was one character that could be launched. Now the child is presented with a choice of different pets.

Pets

There are as many as 8 pets - choose any one that you like the most.

What’s interesting is that each pet changes its appearance as it grows. That is, at first he is small, then, after a couple of days, the child wakes up in the morning and discovers that the pet has grown. My daughter had so much joy! I remember that I myself was happy about this, especially since in my childhood I did not know that he would transform!

As soon as we received the Tamagotchi, we open it, open the panel on the back (this can only be done with a small Phillips screwdriver) and insert 2 AAA batteries there. This is not difficult to do, carnations are unpretentious. As soon as you insert the batteries, the Tamagotchi will sing happily.

After that, launch the start button and select a character. Of course, it is best to do this together with your child. This button is located in a recess (so as not to accidentally press it) - the button is responsible for a complete failure and reboot.

Don't be mistaken with the date, because Tamagotchi will wish you happy holidays.

Don't be mistaken with the time, because according to the time you set, the toy will go to sleep.

Be sure to read the instructions - it will help you understand the process of choosing and “giving birth” to a toy baby.

After the creature is born, the child will take care of it - feed, water, clean, teach and treat.

My daughter is very happy, she still plays with it and won’t let it go, and about 7 months have already passed since the date of purchase.

The toy is definitely worth the money. I advise you to buy.

What is Tamagotchi? This is a friend who is always there for you! It fits easily into a bag or pocket and will never let the owner get bored. The first Tamagotchi model was released in November 1996 - at that time the popularity of the gadget was incredible. The toys were famous all over the world! Almost every child in different countries knew what Tamagotchi was. Over the years, almost 80 million copies have been sold, and finally the Japanese company Bandai presented its new product in May 2014 - the new generation Tamagotchi Friends toy.

The new version has a lot of exciting surprises. For example, you can now choose from 24 characters! You, as before, will look after them, educate, play and feed them, only now the pets will be able to be friends and even visit each other! If attention and care are not enough, now the pet does not die, but flies away to its planet, and you will start the game with a new hero. Another innovation is the ability to look after not just one virtual friend, but an entire group!

Tamagotchi Friends owners will now have the chance to send messages to each other, as well as share accessories and bonuses that they can purchase with their earnings. virtual glasses. All this became available thanks to the new socially oriented function Bump (make friends). New places have appeared, you can walk your virtual friend in the park or on a date. Tamagotchis will be able to create a family and even have their own babies. They will go to school, study in music, cooking or many other classes. In addition, it will now be possible to study the Tamagotchi relationship map on the website. And all those characters with whom you communicate, and, of course, your own pets will be saved in the Tamagotchi’s memory.

That's not all! Friends have changed in the new version of Tamagotchi appearance characters who have become more vibrant, lively and memorable. In addition, to prevent users from getting bored, the gadget simultaneously offers five mini-games in which funny kittens will be the main characters.

As for the size and screen of the device itself, they have remained virtually unchanged and still evoke nostalgia about childhood: black and white screen with color inserts measuring 6*6.5*3.5 cm. There are three control buttons. The colors of the accessory itself are very bright and varied. As they say, for every taste and color.

This small gadget reveals a huge virtual world, in which the child will learn responsibility, love and care.

Probably many of us who grew up in the 90s kept our pet Tamagotchi. And I had one, and more than one.

You had to look after your electronic friend: feed him, play with him, treat him if he got sick, clean up after him, bathe him... And of course, not leave him unattended for a long time, because the pet could get sick and die.

And now, 20 years later it came out updated version the famous Tamagotchi! The toy manufacturer is still the same company Bandai. Not only my daughter, but also I enthusiastically began raising our little friend.

From the manufacturer

Bright design, new games and accessories, and most importantly - an innovative one-touch data transfer system: now you can send short messages to each other, exchange items, visit each other. A modernized game that teaches care and responsibility. New heroes - 24 different heroes with individual development. Choice - you choose the egg that will be your pupil.

Make friends to exchange - items or accessories with friends. Make friends to visit - your hero visits your friend's device. Make friends to find out how strong your friendship is - with the BFF Bump Friends feature (“ Best Friends Forever”), show how much you love your friends! Make friends to increase your "friend meter" level - every time you use the "Friends" feature, you gain friend points! Make friends for communication - send small messages. Make friends and create communities - all the heroes with whom you were friends will be reflected in the device’s memory. You can marry your hero to one of them. It is necessary to purchase 2 1.5V AAA batteries (not included).

We were immediately disappointed - very low screen contrast.(batteries, by the way, were not included in the kit). The contrast can be increased, but despite this it is still very difficult to see. It’s difficult to figure out where the Tamagotchi itself is and where the interior items are. There is no screen backlight.

What new has the Tamagotchi manufacturer come up with for us?

٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ design cute. The new toy is slightly larger than the old one;

٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ the ability to choose a pet (although you could choose before);

٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ new Tamagotchi Russified. He says he's hungry. All items, food are signed;

٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ it became possible to go to the store and buy food and jewelry for the pet. Due to this, your personal account increases. Money can be earned while playing.

٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ With Tamagotchi you can go to the park and ride on the swings.

٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ When Tamagotchi is about a week old, he has the opportunity to go on a date. Then, as in life, he marries and has a baby. The game ends up going in circles.

٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ There are only three games and they are very basic and not interesting. Over time, two more games appear.

٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ and the most important difference is that the possibility of friendship between Tamagotchis has appeared. You can exchange items, visit a friend, write short messages, etc. But since our friends don’t have a Tamagotchi, we don’t use this function.

٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ Tamagotchi is not as "demanding" as before. If you forget it even for a whole day, nothing will happen. The pet will not die.

************************************************************************************************************************

As you can see, the differences between old version few. It seems to me that in a century latest technologies I could have come up with something more interesting. At a minimum, make the screen color. And the pet's movements are smoother.

This Tamagotchi was interesting to children 20 years ago, but now it’s simply not relevant.

My daughter liked the toy at first, but her interest quickly faded. Tamagotchi grows alone.

The toy is available in the Detsky Mir chain of stores. 1300 rub.. Tamagotchi is not worth this money, or even a third of this price.

I give it 3 points only for the feeling of nostalgia.

Thank you very much for your attention!

We present to your attention the electronic game Tamagotchi Friends.

After turning on the Tamagotchi Friends toy, you need to set the initial time and date parameters, come up with a name for the pet, and after that 3 eggs will appear on the screen. You can select the desired pet in this way and literally in a minute it will hatch.

START OF THE GAME. THE BIRTH OF THE TAMAGOTCHI

First you need to insert batteries into the Tamagotchi. To do this, you need to unscrew the opening compartment at the bottom of the toy with a screwdriver and insert 2 AAA batteries into it. After installing the batteries, you need to put the compartment cover back on and tighten the bolt.

Next, you need to press the RESET button (it is located on the back right side of the case, in the recess). To press it, you will need something long and sharp (for example, a paper clip).

A settings menu will appear on the screen in which you need to set the current date and time. The date is set in month/day format (for example, May 10 should be set as 5/10). Time is divided into 2 time ranges: am - time BEFORE noon (from 00.00 to 12.00), pm - time AFTER noon (from 12.00 to 00.00). For example, if it is now 10 o'clock in the morning, the time is set to 10.00 am, and if it is now 10 o'clock in the evening, then the time is set to 10.00 pm.

Next, you need to set the date of birth of the owner of the Tamagotchi so that the animal can celebrate such an event with its owner. The date is also displayed in month/day format.

The next step is to enter your name (no more than 8 letters). Button A – select letters, button B – confirm the selection. To go back 1 letter, you need to press buttons A and C at the same time.

After entering all the information, the main screen with three eggs will appear. You need to choose one of these eggs - this will be your Tamagotchi animal! After choosing, the pet will hatch from the egg within 1 minute.

PET INFORMATION, BASIC SETTINGS

All information about the pet can be seen in the section INFORMATION(first menu item). The first tab will indicate the pet's gender, age, weight and generation (first, second, etc.). The second tab shows the pet's name and the number of points (points are earned in games, see section ENTERTAINMENT. GAMES). The third tab shows your hunger and happiness levels. And finally, the fourth tab shows your friend’s points - this is the level of interaction with other Tamagotchis. You can read more about your friend's glasses in the article Tamagotchi interaction.

Using different combinations of buttons A, B and C, you can customize your Tamagotchi:

In addition, if you press the B button, the screen will display current date and time. Therefore, Tamagotchi can even be used as a full-fledged watch!

BASIC FUNCTIONS OF TAMAGOTCHI

Your pet's main need is, of course, food. To feed your pet, you need to select a menu item FOOD and feed the pet. By default, bread is offered as food and milk as a snack. However, you can diversify your pet's diet. To do this, you just need to buy food or a snack in the store (you can read more about purchasing in the section SHOPPING). After eating, you can check your pet's hunger level ( INFORMATION - HUNGRY).

If your pet makes a pile (the pyramid in the lower right part of the screen), you need to clean up after it. To do this, select from the menu TOILET, the pile is removed, and the pet will start jumping joyfully and making funny sounds.

ENTERTAINMENT. GAMES

Tamagotchis, like any other pets, love to have fun. There are 5 types of entertainment for Tamagotchi: GAME, STORE, PARK, COMPUTER, DATE(available only from 6 years old). To play with your pet, you need to select a menu DOOR – GAME. The pet will run out of its house, run around the city and end up in the City of Games. There are 5 games to choose from: DROP - COLLECT, PICK - GET, SIMULATE, CATCH THE PIE and COUNT THE FLOWERS. However, the last 2 games will only be available after certain conditions are met. The rules for each game can be read in the article Games for Tamagotchi. Based on the results of each game, the player is awarded points. In the future, these points can be used to pay in stores when purchasing food, snacks or jewelry (for purchases, see the section SHOPPING).

AMUSEMENT PARK

To please your pet, you can take him to an amusement park. To do this, select the menu item DOOR - PARK. The pet runs out of his house, runs around the city and runs into the park. In the park, his friend comes to the pet, and they start swinging merrily on the swing. After the park, Tamagotchi, satisfied and happy, runs back to his house.

Clue! In order not to wait every time your pet runs through the city, you can simply press any key, then the pet, bypassing the city, will run straight to the amusement park.

SHOPPING

Perhaps one of the most favorite activities of any girl is shopping! Here you can walk around the shops and make purchases with your pet. To do this, you need to select the menu item DOOR - STORE. A menu will open with three sections: Food, Snacks, Decorations.

In the Food section you can buy treats for your pet, for example:

Having purchased food, it appears in the Food section menu. Thus, you can choose what to feed your pet: standard bread or pamper him with a delicious treat m. One type of food can be purchased only once; after purchase, this food disappears from the store menu for some time.

Also, in addition to Food, you can pamper your pet with various Snacks:

And finally, the most expensive purchases are jewelry. Jewelry comes in 4 types: crown, necklace, bracelet, ring. In each category there are 15 types of jewelry (for example, in the Crown category there is a queen’s crown, a crown of cherries, a tiara, etc.). All types of jewelry, as well as their cost, can be seen in the article Decorations for Tamagotchi. After purchasing a decoration, it will appear in the menu BOX(see section JEWELRY BOX). Moreover, the same decoration can be purchased several times. The number of decorations is displayed in the Box (number in the upper left corner).

JEWELRY BOX

The jewelry box stores all jewelry that was purchased in the store or transferred from another Tamagotchi using the BUMP (befriend) function. To look into the box, you need to select a menu item BOX. At the very beginning, the number of decorations you have collected out of 60 possible will appear (there are 15 types of decorations in each group, for a total of 60 decorations). For example, the inscription 15 / 60 means that you have collected 15 decorations out of 60 possible. To see the list of jewelry you have collected, go to the appropriate category (for example, crown). All purchased decorations will be displayed as a title with a picture, and uncollected decorations will simply be displayed as question marks. This way, you can simply determine which piece of jewelry is missing so you can buy it in the store and collect a complete collection!

MEMORY

Tamagotchi contains a memory of all the friends with whom it has ever been in contact (menu item MEMORY - FRIENDS). Also, you can see all your pets that you raised before (menu item MEMORY - MEMORY).

MEDICINES

Sometimes it happens that your pet gets sick (the corresponding sign will appear on the screen). In this case, you need to provide your pet with medical care(menu item MEDICINES). IN ordinary life, when the pet is healthy, he will refuse medications (shake his head dissatisfied).

ATTENTION

Sometimes your pet just needs your attention. When he wants it, Tamagotchi will emit characteristic short signals, and the menu item will light up on the screen ATTENTION and an exclamation mark will appear. In this case, you just need to press any key. The pet, rejoicing that it has been taken care of, will begin to jump happily, hearts will appear on the screen, and its mood will significantly improve.

DATING, WEDDING, BIRTH OF A BABY

When your Tamagotchi turns 6 years old, it will be able to go on dates. To do this, select the menu item DOOR - DATES. Tamagotchi will leave the house and run to the park for a date. There Tamagotchi will be presented with a choice of 3 candidates per couple (for a girl Tamagotchi there will be 3 boys to choose from and vice versa). After choosing a candidate, you can get married immediately. If you answer the question positively, your couple will appear on the screen, and an egg will appear between them - their baby. After some time, the Tamagotchi parents will disappear, and only Tamagotchi - the child - will remain on the screen. He will now be our main pet. And the Tamagotchi parent goes into history (it can be seen in the menu MEMORY - MEMORY). Now our new Tamagotchi’s information will indicate the next generation (GENERATION item on the first Information tab).
