The Best New Tamagotchi: Tamagotchi Smart
The Tamagotchi Smart is one of the latest releases overseas, and it’s one of the smallest. It’s billed as a wearable, but that’s because of the included wrist-wearing accessory, which is sized for kids and not for grown adults. I’ve been using the Tamagotchi Smart as a standalone device, and if I want to track my steps with the built-in pedometer, I place this thing in my pocket.
I’m still having fun with the Tamagotchi Smart because it doesn’t take alkaline batteries. Instead, when the battery peters out, the game pauses, and I can plug it into MicroUSB and pick up right where I left off when I’m ready.
I will say that the Tamagotchis featured in this version are a bit needier than some of the other color models I’ve used. But I keep importing those TamaSma cards from Japan to unlock new items and try to raise the cutest friend, so it’s clearly not enough to keep me away.
