Demon Slayer Tamagotchi

A Tamagotchi based on Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba franchise!

The first thing you might notice about this release is that it retains the original Japanese packaging and programming. This is the first for a release that’s been brought over to the USA. English instructions can be found over on Bandai’s website.

When you start up the toy, you’ll see a little scene play out and you’ll be presented with a generic, low-ranking character that will grow into a character from the franchise depending on how it’s cared for.

Hello Kitty Tamagotchi

The Hello Kitty Tamagotchi! The theme of this Tamagotchi is probably clear based on name alone. It's adorable, packed with charm, and is nicely animated considering the size. It's a more Vanilla experience compared with some of the other crossover Tamagotchi Nanos that have recently come out, but I think the sheer cuteness helps make up for it.

It's a normal, simplified Nano experience this time around. Feeding your Tamagotchi will show Kitty delivering your chosen food or snack. You'll be feeding your Tamagotchi some of Kitty's favorite foods- apple pie and milk!

There are two games to play here. The first is a game of timing where you press the button that corresponds to falling musical notes. The other involves helping Kitty use balloons to fly to the end of a course while collecting other balloons and avoiding crows that fly in your path. Neither are particularly difficult, but they're both pretty fun.

Jordy Tamagotchi

Based on the NINIZ mascot of the same name, the Jordy Tamagotchi is the first Korean-exclusive device!

When you first turn it on and set the time, you’ll get to see Jordy defrosting from a glacier. After this, the upkeep itself is standard as far as Tamagotchi Nanos go. Feeding, playing with, and cleaning up after Jordy is all done through simple menus accessed with the A button The biggest difference here is the lifecycle.

Evatchi (Evangelion Tamagotchi)

The Evatchi, also known as the MULTIPURPOSE EGG SHAPED DECISIVE WEAPON EVATCHI! As you can probably already tell, this is a Tamagotchi featuring characters from the Evangelion franchise. Even if you don't know anything about the Evangelion franchise, I think the character design and gameplay are enough to support this as a standalone toy.

When you start it up you'll get to see a quick scene featuring the Second Impact, and your Angel Fetus arrives! The characters here aren't really cute in a traditional sense, but they are really cool and weird. They're pretty decently animated  considering the size, and there are a lot of characters to raise and unlock. In a change from traditional Nanos, some characters are available right away while others can only be unlocked by raising other sets of characters first.

Gudetama Tamagotchi

I've finally gotten to play with my Gudetama Tamagotchi, and I can say I'm having a lot of fun! I really like seeing Bandai doing these Sanrio collaborations.
 

 First off, it's super-cute. It's smaller than I thought it would be, about as tall and wide as a Mini, but the back side is fuller and rounder.

It seems to be based off of the Tamagotchi Nano, so the Gudetama Tamagotchi has a few more features than a Mini.
