5.0 out of 5 stars my first coloured tamagotchi

L. · 1 March 2025

I've been collecting a few Tamagotchi's and have a few running at the moment. I'm glad to pick this up at a great price, as the original RRP was too much for a toy.The Tamagotchi pix, is a coloured screen Tamagotchi with a camera built in. You can scan QR codes for items, food, accessories, cook food and more. The gameplay is great, different arcade games that rotate daily. Items the Tamagotchi can interact with, decorate your room and wear accessories.It does run on 2 AA batteries and I purchased additional ones that was recommended by the bandai official manual. They only last about 2-3 days, which is annoying when your out and about. There's no way to check the battery indicator until a warning pops up to change it.Prosbabysitter optiondurable constructionconsno battery indicatorbattery last around 2-3 days (should have been a rechargeable model)The battery camera is pixelated

5.0 out of 5 stars Expensive for what it is

D. · 21 January 2022

I bought this for my tamigotchi obsessed daughter and she absolutely loves it and is the one thing she plays with daily since Xmas.It's pretty and pink so very appealing and easy to use and she loves the fact that it's in colour and has so many newer options and games to the old tamigotchis. HOWEVER the battery life is awful! After 2-3 days it needs new batteries no matter what brand you purchase or how much you play with it. There is also no pause button so if you don't replace the batteries and cannot continue playing your character will die which is upsetting after all your child's hard work. There is also no off button to save batteries. Just a reset button.For the price of the toy (that in my opinion should be rechargeable) and the batteries you'll be replacing every few days it's extremely expensive and I wouldn't have bought it if I had known better.I did purchase on sale so in total probably have spent around £80 so far on the toy itself and the batteries.I would suggest looking into rechargeable batteries if you are considering to purchase.EDITthere is a "continue or start again" options if batteries run out. So you can still carry on your game play as long as you obsessively look after your old game to prevent your character dying.

Summary:PROS• runs on AAA batteries• Buy rechargeable batteries to save £££• Coloured screen• Less maintenance than older versions• Baby sitter option if you work• Short wait time for evolutions• Camera entertaining for kids• Simple gameplay• Cheapest colour model on the marketCONS:• Batteries run out within 3 days• No gene mixing function• No marriage or breeding• Shorter life span than older models• Super easy to scratch• Simple gameplay can get boring• Camera is low quality and somewhat pointless• Small selection of colours to scan with camera• Expensive for a kids toyRight so after using this tamagotchi for a just over a week I feel like I can leave a fair review but please bare in mind I am a 25 year old adult playing with a child's toy. 😅So value for money... its expensive for what it is but electronic toys are expensive these days and the tamagotchi market is booming. Previous versions are being sold for hundreds online so this is probably the cheapest you are going to find a coloured tamagotchi.The battery life is a downfall as its only going to last 2-4 days depending how much you use it but if you buy rechargeable batteries you solve the problem of spending a fortune replacing them every few days. So it's just a little annoying having to unscrew the battery compartment. This model takes AAAs so easy to get hold of unlike the old watch style batteries.So on to the gameplay... the idea of this one is to raise your tamagotchi, practice a profession when it's an adult then send it back to its home planet nice and trained. This means no gene mixing, no marrying and no babies. There's only around 25 adult tama characters you can Hatch and this is the biggest downfall for me as gene mixing is my favourite feature. There's a good selection of games to play with your tama and a good amount of unlockable items and backgrounds. Your tama will be relatively low maintenance after the baby stage (which is still minimal effort in comparison to older models).The lifespan of these is a lot shorter than the older versions. Baby will evolve within an hour or so, teen within 24hrs and adult within 48hrs. They will usually want to go back to their home planet after around 4 days but I beleive there is an option to keep them instead though.The camera feature is probably relatively fun for kids but as an adult I think it's kinda pointless. You take a selfie when you Hatch an egg but I don't beleive you ever see the selfie again and then the main function of the camera is to scan colours which you use to cook food and dye items/accessories. There is only a few colours you can get, grey, white, red, blue and yellow and I think that might be it. You can take your tama to 'explore' with the camera but again, this feels pointless and wastes precious battery life.Another downfall is the system itself scratches SUPER easily. I read reviews saying this before I purchased one myself but didn't quite realise how easy it is to scuff them. I have had mine a week and really looked after it, not played it more than a couple times a day and really never even touched the creen but I already have scuffs on the screen and front face (you can see this in picture 2) so I'd definitely opt for a screen protector.I have listed a fair few negatives but If you don't mind the lack of gene mixing or you're buying for a child, this is probably your best bet for a coloured tamagotchi as it's definitely the cheapest on the market despite its still hefty price. You can get these models second hand from marketplace brand new for half price so that's worth looking in to as well. The On, Meets, P's & Mixes are all loaded with more features than this but are a lot more expensive at the minute.

Lots of features. Camera is lots of fun. If you have a friend who has one, you can connect. My daughter loves the feature where you can make a unique food for you pet by taking photos of food items and 'mixing' them! Batteries didn't last very long. I think rechargables are worth getting.

Batteries didn’t last more than 3 weeksThe pet is constantly sleeping so my poor child rarely gets to play with it! No way to alter the sleep cycle so basically often unusable

5.0 out of 5 stars Very different experience and a lot of fun!

The touch controls can be a bit off sometimes but not nearly as bad as some reviews said! you get used to them after a while and they provide a whole new experience when caring for your tama. It is a whole lot of fun, play more on the Pix then I do on my Uni (only really play on my uni if there's an online event) I recommened the pix a lot! the camera is fun and I've had it a week already, heavy use apart from when I'm at work, use the camera every day and the batteries are still fine. I used good ones which of course will make a difference.

IMPRESIONANTE

S. · 25 June 2022

Se lo regalé a mi hija de 6 años y lleva algunas semanas usándolo. Tiene el tamaño perfecto, ni grande ni pequeño. La pantalla se ve perfectamente, es a color. Los botones son táctiles NO HAY QUE PRESIONARLOS. Con sólo poner el dedo encima es suficiente.Cosas a tener en cuenta:1 - Funciona con 2 pilas AAA no incluidas. Recomiendo unas pilas recargables. Para quitar la tapa de las pilas es necesario tener un destornillador estrella muy pequeño.2- La pantalla se ve perfectamente, no obstante, como tiene un tamaño reducido recomiendo usar el dispositivo en interiores pues en pleno sol cuesta ver bien la pantalla.3 - Algunos modos de juego sólo están disponibles cuando el tamagotchi va creciendo, por lo tanto cuando nace apenas tiene modos.4 - Configura bien el reloj desde el inicio porque tiene la función de que se pasa durmiendo de 9 pm a 9 am.5 - Las instrucciones que incluye son básicas y escasas. Recomiendo ir a la página oficial del producto para ver recomendaciones, consejos y los diferentes tipos de tamagotchis que te pueden salir.
