SEGA Mini Mushiking

[KujoStar64]

So I recently found this amazing SEGA Mini Mushiking on Ebay. The year it came out was in 2006. Is there anyone out there who has any information about this virtual pet? I'm guessing it's a virtual pet cos it has a screen and buttons, and something about Rock Paper Scissors was mentioned in the seller's listing as well. I would appreciate any information anyone has on this interesting pet. The packaging is in Japanese and so this pet was sold in Japan, that much I'm sure about. The shell is brown and is shaped like a pincer-mouthed beetle. There are two beetles on the plastic action screen cover as well, a pincer-mouth and a rhinoceros beetle. Thank you for your help!

I looked as best I could.

I don't think that this is a virtual pet. Based on this link: https://wiki.arcadeotaku.com/w/Sega_Mushi_King

And this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushiking:_The_King_of_Beetles

I have come to conclude that your device is a shrunk down version of this game. Still really cool, though!

I have two of them. I haven't played them in a while but I'm pretty sure you have to feed them and stuff to keep them strong and they grow throughout different stages. You can also connect to others and battle, and rock-paper-scissors determines who the winner is.
