That's a fake tamagotchi.

Remember, the original TMGCs only have 3 buttons. You can visit the Tamagotchi Warnings forum for information on fakes.

Here's some useful tips;

Some Tamagotchis do not even classify as a fake. Fake Tamagotchis are not real. They are fake if:

• They are called Tamagotchi when they are not actually a Tamagotchi (they should not be called a tamagotchi anyway, as the word is trademarked)
• They copy BanDai's tamagotchi design (on the egg/shell)
• Have simular characters as the real Tamagotchis
• Try to copy BanDai's icons
• etc..

They are not fake if (and they are not a Tamagotchi, they are a Virtual Pet):

• They do not look like a Tamagotchi
• Not the same concept (ie: Not a creature from a planet)
• No way do they copy the development of a Tamagotchi (ie: If the Virtual Pet is a dog)
• etc..

Unfortunately, that one seems to be a fake Tamagotchi.

yes its fake but its amazingly fun lol.. I had this fake tama and its great! it is a vintage fake so it is worth a little money and since its in package youll get more for it ^.^

its actually not worth any money. they go for $7 on ebay..

I doubt it's a vintage fake, as it's got "Tamagotchi Connection" stamped on it, and those are the 2004 and onwards series. With that said, some fakes are actually pretty neat. I don't have personal experience with this particular one, but I wouldn't write it off w/o giving it a go.

Ra,

Hmm. The giraffe icon thing looks a bit familiar. There's a fake with the giraffe character as the display called "Animal Imagination." https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Tamagotchi-elder-electronic-pet-machine-keep-the-chicken-dog-a-variety-of-animals-free-shipping/841733178.html

Edit: If you scroll down, the seller is selling even more fakes...
