Yay, your video is here! I think just the packaging is soooo cute! The clear shell is really pretty and I am so happy Bandai noticed your channel. 🥰 Aw man I'm so looking forward to the Connection, the baby stage alone looks so inviting. I may get two because I don't have Tama friends irl. 🤭

Nice, the exact shell I preordered too! And my husband is getting the Rainbow one. I wish there were hard plastic shells like the Tamagotchi Originals had which I ordered a few for my Devilgotch & Angelgotch to protect the screen when I take them out and about. I’m not sure if any exist for the old Connections or for these new ones. I worry I’ll damage it but still just super excited to get mine when it releases!

hi!! do you know if you’re able to change the contrast on the new v3? i remember i was able to lower mine on either my old v3 or v4, you do it by going to the clock screen and pressing button a and b together. please let us know if the new ones are capable of that as well!!

Would you say the screen graphics still look just as bright and clear as the original connections? I've seen a couple different videos of the re-releases now and it almost seems like the screen is darker/more shadowed/not as clear.. I've watched some videos of the original connections and you can so clearly see the graphics on the screen but all the re-release connection videos it seems like I have a harder time seeing the screen and I'm just afraid the graphics won't be as good. Comparable at least? So exciting though! I can't wait to get mine!

People have been really worried about the contrast, but I haven't any issues with it. Sometimes the glare gets to me, but I haven't had issue seeing the screen.
ty for the great reveiw! question, do you think the japanese connection rereleases will also let you choose between english and japanese? i love the shells they got in the japanese rerelease, i hope they also have an english option!
@JillGrygas

Yes! It's my understanding that all of the releases will have an option for English or Japanese. That'll be exciting to have the Japanese shells in English language!

So cool! I’m glad you got it early. You mentioned keeping boxes. I keep mine too and i’m drowning in them lol. (Live in an apartment) Did you find a good way to store them?
@JillGrygas
Ай бұрын
My collection was way smaller when I lived in an apartment. I would suggest buying a house (ha! jk!) but seriously, I use my boxes as decorations. In the apartment I put them on weird window sills that were too high to do much with, or on mantles. Depends on how your apartment is set up. If you have a bookcase or shelving you can put the boxes there too :)

Is the nickname for your name or the tamas name?
@JillGrygas
Ай бұрын
Nickname is your name, the "name" is for the Tamagotchi. I know that's confusing, I'm sorry!
Man the poor contrast on this really sucks, I hate the way you can see the darker square pixel screen in the very centre which you never could on the originals. It destroys any illusion that it's a "bigger screen". Dunno why for the rereleases Bandai seem to always prefer much poorer quality components...
