That is super interesting that the Shop codes work! I’m pleasantly surprised by that. Thank you so much for showing us, Ra!

I wonder if they plan to release future revamps of the V4, V4,5, V5, etc. Great to see a review from you, im excited for this release ♥️🎉

I honestly believe they will. It also depends on the sales and how well received the connection series gets. But it would take a couple of years before they might be able to make them as there was an interview by tama palace with one of the developers I believe mentioned it takes around 2-3 years to complete making a tamagotchi and releasing it.

I feel like if this one is succesful they will release a Jinsei version that's a mashup of the v4 and Entama by giving it some of the extra features the Entama has but giving it more minigames, because Entama has very little of them (just 3 and the jobs feature no games at all unlike the v4 lol)

@r3tvrnt0m32

2 ай бұрын

I don’t think so, their gimmicks are so espicific in comparison to v1 v2 and v3 that they would need to relaunch a whole other line under another name, and well, the fans just asked for connections back, not a specific line. Edit: Actually maybe they could do something like, Tamagotchi Connection: Familytchi or Tamagotchi Connection: Music Star, and wouldn’t need to specify their versions

I was debating when I would watch your video as I really wanted to be surprised when I get my own... but my curiosity got the better of me and I am so glad I watched. Great review! I'm disappointed by the lack of a pause feature, but everything else about it looks so awesome. Thanks for checking on those old codes for us too!

OMGG YOU GOT IT EARLY?! It looks AMAZING 😭 I didn't know the Japanese versions will have an English option!

Thanks so much for sharing this first look with us! I'm so excited for this! The connections were my most precious memories of Tamagotchi❤ I'll be buying lots of these!

I found the vendor on keitai to be frustrating because he brought me the same item like everyday. So I'm glad this has blended programming. But seriously no pause? Bandai should know that its adult audience has busy lives and really needs that.

Oh my gosh it's here! This is historical.

thank you for the look into this one Ra!! I'm so excited for this one, thinking of all the time I spent logging my V3s on T-Z years ago 😭 I was really happy to see that my biggest concerns (the shell quality + speaker volume/quality) both seem to look pretty good in this video. I'm excited to get my hands on them next month too!

Cool!!! A V3 and Keitai hybrid. Nice to see the Connection make a comeback. I love the shell you got, and I see the Japanese ones have Melon Soda as a shell choice. I want that one, with the one you have as second choice. Definitely going to get this one. Nice to see the shop codes work. Too bad about the passwords not working though. I wonder if Walmart is selling them, since I work there. I got the R2D2, Hello Kitty, and PacMan Nanos from Walmart. Can't wait for July 9. (Jan Griffiths).

Omg welcome back! I haven't heard from you in so long! ❤❤❤

Yes, I was waiting for this. Thanks!

I remember coming home from school in like 99/00 to find my Tamagotchi had died. There was a little cross on the screen and it made me cry my eyes out! I felt so neglectful and guilty! Lol.

Bandai is funny they do things half way or they cannot cross the digimon and tamagotchi tech.A pause button would be good

The seventeen shell is my all time favourite it’s beautiful

yes you're right, i've seen some people calling it RV1 (reboot version 1)

When the character roster was leaked, it took a me awhile to notice that Kurokotchi was missing…I was like “why wooltchi but not kurokotchi (same character I’m sure you know 😅) but I like how Ichigotchi and Ringotchi were added to this one. Also I immediately noticed the shop code on the manual is the same as the original V3 so I had a huge feeling that they’d work in the new connection

IVE BEEN PRAYING FOR THIS DAY FOR YEARS I CANNOT WAIT TO GET THEM ALL

Oh my God! I want this so bad! I have the original Connection, the one with no extra things, just the character, two games and two of each type of food. I still love it, though. The moment I saw this re-release I knew I wanted it, as I assumed it has newer options and extras. Now that I've seen you play with it I'm absolutely certain that I DO WANT THIS. A bummer, though: mine is in Spanish, and I checked Amazon Spain and there is NO Connection on preorder. I guess I'll have to use mine in English. I'd still love to have it, though.

can you ask in the interview whether the japanese shells will be released in the west in some other wave? ik you can import but ofc it's a little more expensive

Have you seen any interesting shop items / foods yet? I think they’re probably mostly the same as the V3 but there seems to be a few from some of the other versions

Maybe it’s the recording but I find it interesting that the sounds are a bit different but that might also just be my dodgy memory lol Definitely picking one up as soon as I can either in store or through Amazon because I’d love to have a “new” tamagotchi connection!

I find it really odd that bandai is releasing the Ketai V3 in the states since this isn't what most of us are used to on V3 connections. The pause feature alone will be very missed along with the jobs not being a thing. I wonder why they chose to do such a broad release for this particular model and not releasing the American V3 connection in the states.

I'm so excited for this! I have a question (anyone reading this can answer!) but do you recommend getting two instead of one? I'm the only one who collects tamas so I play alone. If I get one connection, will I miss out on a lot?

Tamagotchis can not connect with the DS Corner Shop games. They only exchange codes. On the DS Corner Shop game, if you reach a certain level, you will see some codes. There are two codes. You can enter these codes into the V3 to receive a pen and a clone. However, in the video I already tried these codes and they didn't work sadly.

The pause feature!! Noooo! Why will they half listen 😂
