Holiday Palooza – Bandai Tama Town (review/giveaway)

November 10, 2010 By Jackie

Welcome to our Holiday Palooza! Melissa and I have some wonderful gift ideas to share with you this holiday season. Make sure you visit Melissa at Outnumbered 3 to 1 daily to see what she has in store for you too. We will be featuring the same giveaways on each blog some of the days, so that’s two chances for you to win!

I’m about to say something that makes me feel old, but here it goes. When I was younger I remember when the virtual pets first come out, I remember having one…carried that thing around with me everywhere! So when Bandai contacted me about their new Tama Town by Tamagotchi (if you remember, Tamagotchi was the first or one of the first virtual pets), more specifically the virtual pet Tama-Go.

Tama-Go’s seem to be bigger than the old Tamagotchi pets, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing…I think it’s because it does a lot more. Now, you have characters that attach to the top that you play with. We got the blue Tama-Go with Memetchi to review and it’s super cute! Simple. It’s 3 little buttons on the bottom to do different things like play games and such.

Tamagotchi is the one and only virtual pet! TamaTown is the latest sensation, which includes the original nurturing play pattern and character customization.

The TamaTown egg is larger for easier play.

TamaTown is the base for the Tama characters (sold separately). Attach any Tama character and activate character-specific new games.

Includes an interchangeable design sheet and 1 “lite” character unit.

TamaTown has a new 4-gray scale display screen for greater detail! – Tamagotchi Website

We also got a Gotchi Figure (Mametchi #101)to change out the character and unlock more games and stuff on the Tama-Go. It’s really fun that you can collect different characters to unlock lots of different things.

Collect all 100 TamaTown Gotchi Character Figures!

Each character comes with 2 character exclusive games that can be played with TamaTown Tama-go (sold separately).

Visit shops and get character specific gifts!

Comes with a face plate to change the look of your Tamagotchi. Includes exclusive web codes to access special gifts on www.tamatown.com.

When you collect multiple characters, TamaTown rewards you with special announcement. – Tamagotchi Website

I’m excited that something from my childhood is coming back for my kids to enjoy. You can get Tama-Go at Walmart (19.97), Target ($19.99) or Amazon.com ($18.15)and Gotchi Figures at Amazon.com or Toys R Us ($7.99).
