My Tamagotchi Forever

My Tamagotchi Forever for Android devices is the official game of the most famous virtual pet of all time. It's now back and updated to modern times

The official Tamagotchi application

If you were young in the '90s, you might remember Bandai's Tamagotchi. This pixelated pet lived in a device that you could carry around as a keychain and we had to take care of all his needs like eating or playing.

The most famous virtual pet is back, now on Android

And because we're living in a time of re-editions and homage to everything retro, we can now enjoy this hobby in a more modern version, also developed by Bandai. We're talking about the My Tamagotchi Forever app, which turns its back on pixels and offers us a new experience as we take care of this virtual creature.

If we had to choose the best virtual pet of all, maybe we would choose Pou. It probably better reflects what Tamagotchi was doing back then, over 20 years ago. New elements have been incorporated into this new app to appeal to a new generation of kids who are used to other types of video games and virtual pastimes.

In any case, the gist is the same: take care of him, feed him, play with him, put him to sleep... All to make sure he's happy and doesn't bother you with questions.

These are the main features:

• Raise your character: feed it, bathe it, clean it, put it to bed, play with it...
• Play different mini-games with him and meet new Tamagotchis.
• Play hide and seek with other users.
• Evolve your character based on how you take care of him.
• Unlock all kinds of food, clothes and other interesting objects.
• Compare your progress with that of your friends.

If you don't like this new version of Bandai creature, you can use original toy from 90's instead of this app. However, it's probably hard to find in a supermarket, you're probably better off trying to buy it on eBay, Amazon, or some other second-hand online store.

Requirements and further information:

• Minimum operating system requirements: Android 5.1.
• The app offers in-app purchases.
