Attention, '90s kids: your virtual reality pet is back from the dead. After a limited run last year [1], the original Tamagotchi is officially being stocked at various online retailers including Target, Walmart, and Amazon. The nostalgic collection [2] features 16 different styles, with my personal favorite being the mermaid and green glitter Tamagotchi — which I totally owned back in the day.
For those who may have forgotten, the game asks players to take care of a virtual pet by monitoring its hunger, happiness, discipline meter, and more. Though plenty of millennials will be eager to revisit the game, the simple three-button device might also offer a welcome, old-school change for the current tech-savvy generation. Ahead, shop all the recently resurrected Tamagotchi!
