Such a cute Tama!
I had been eyeing this amazon exclusive tama for a while and decided to snatch it up for retail price. It is very cute and vibrant. However beware if you intend on keeping it in box. I am keeping mine mostly for collector purposes and display. However my box was a bit beat up in a few spots which is a shame. But it isn't so bad or noticeable I won't keep it. If you wanna take it out and play though, shouldn't be a problem. It is perfect otherwise!

It wouldn't let me review the 25th Anniversary version without deleting my old review, but this is for the new one. It's identical to the first Tamagotchis that came out in the US other than some minor additions (like battery low indicator). Similar to the other rereleases, the speaker connection uses a spring. This is what causes the sound to be obnoxiously loud at times. Anyone who is wondering if it's louder than you remember--yes it is. I have a few vintage Tamagotchis from that time and they are much quieter. I modified one of my other shells so that the connection between the speaker and the contacts on the PCB is via two wires instead and it was MUCH quieter. Unfortunately it is a design flaw that has persisted in all remake models. The sound can be distorted and extremely loud as a result. Thankfully it can be muted by pressing the right button and then the left button at the same time. You can do this while on the time screen to pause it as well in case you are busy (it will say SET, and freeze your progress until you set the time again).
Other than that mostly it is exactly the same. There is a new logo on this version, and if you're buying it for pure nostalgia you may not like that. Personally for me the jury's out on whether it's better or not, I'm mostly neutral on the change with a slight preference to the old one since...well, it's how it originally looked.
Do note if you get anything other than a plain color or clear plain colored shell (like if you get a shell with a fancy printed design) that the designs can wear off on these as I've found with one of my others. Also, they are kind of grainy/have a low resolution look to the print on them if that makes any sense.
As for the 25th anniversary shell, it's kind of a pearlescent purple color--the pictures don't really look anywhere near as nice as it does in person. These types of simple color shells tend to hold up to wear the best when it comes to these remake Tamagotchis.
The oldest I've seen anyone raise the new ones is, coincidentally, 25 years. It seems giving your Tamagotchi snacks in this one will possibly lower its lifespan compared to the older ones.
Overall it's a pretty faithful reproduction, the battery change is nice as CR2032s are easier to get than LR44s, but the speaker issue is a major flaw preventing me from giving five stars.

Speaker issues still present, very good looking shell, otherwise similar to original

Color: Flower GinghamVerified Purchase
The Flower Gingham design is SO adorable on this tamagotchi. The “software” is just like the original version from 1997 — same buttons, screen, functions, and beeps.
The tiny manual is surprisingly clear and complete. It thankfully includes directions for muting your tama, which I think most people miss, as it’s toward the end of the booklet.
- TO MUTE/UNMUTE, hold the A button and press C.
- TO RESET THE CLOCK, press B for the clock to appear, and then hold A and press C. The clock will go into SET mode.
I got my tama from Amazon warehouse deals. It was dead on arrival and had obvious pen marks on the reset button, and I was afraid it was broken — but fortunately it just needed a new battery, which I replaced. Then I pressed the B button, and the infamous pulsating egg appeared! I was in business! YES! MY FIRST TAMA!
The babies need lots of frequent attention, feeding, and games, with occasional toilet flushing and medicine. The baby stage lasted for about two hours for me, and then it transformed into a toddler. As they grow older, they require less attention.
They automatically go to sleep between 8:00-11:00 pm and wake up between 7:00-11:00 am, depending on age. If this is a problem for your work/school/sleeping schedule, just reset the clock on the tamagotchi so it better corresponds with your preferred hours. (I did so, and it works great.)
Definitely recommend for anyone who wanted an OG tamagotchi but never had one, or if you lost yours and want to relive the late ‘90s!
