A Society in Symbiosis with Robots

Tamagotchi Uni

I'm part of the Tamagotchi generation.

At the time, it sparked a social phenomenon—including becoming hard to find due to its explosive popularity—so

I made a reservation early to get the Tamagotchi Uni, which goes on sale this week.

The second generation introduced infrared communication, and the third generation featured a color LCD screen. Does that mean this latest model, which comes equipped with Wi-Fi, is the fourth generation?

With the global simultaneous release of the same model worldwide, you can now meet Tamagotchi from users all over the world in the Tamagotchi metaverse, Tamaverse. This might just become a place where children can safely connect and interact with kids from around the world (just imagining)!

There's no one around who'd be willing to swap with me, though!!!

I also got the ultra-limited Tama Passport, which is an early-purchase bonus.
