Tamagotchi is bringing back a Y2K classic
The Tamagotchi Connection is back in four new colorways, and you can pre-order it on Amazon today.
Less than a year after introducing a Wi-Fi-enabled Tamagotchi for the 21st century, the company behind the nostalgic Y2K toy is bringing back a new fan-favorite: the Tamagotchi Connection.
Originally released in 2004, the Tamagotchi Connection was the first Tamagotchi device that enabled players to nurture a virtual pet and help it make friends, play, swap presents, and mate with other Tamagotchis. The device was highly beloved, with some calling it the company's best-ever release.
Eagle-eyed fans may have picked up on the relaunch way back in April when a new antenna "accessory" for Tamagotchis was announced on Instagram as part of an April Fools Day prank. Tama devotees got the hint (versions of the original Tamagotchi Connection were decorated with antennas), and comments on the post begged the company to bring the device back.
Amazon pre-orders for the new Tamagotchi Connection start today. It is available in four colorways, and a "True Friends" set is available in even more exclusive styles. The device will be available in stores in July.
