Tamagotchi is coming to the Nintendo DS in September.....in japan anyways. No word on when it's coming stateside, but I hope it's real soon. I can't wait!!!!! There is more info at the Nintendo DS section of IGN.com

Now if only I lived in Japan...and had a Nintendo DS...

 

[Prickles]

I have a DS...I just need to go to Japan somehow.

 

[newbiekidlex]

Wow, lucky you! Maybe you could arrange a meeting or something...hmm....

 

[Prickles]

Hmm....my dad goes there on business every now and then. i think he has to go sometime in the Fall!!! Yes!

3D touch screen tamagotchis sound very cool. Maybe there will be online multiplayer!!! YES!!!!!

 

[newbiekidlex]

Is it like the GameBoy game?

Too bad it's on the DS. I have no plans at all to buy one, I think they're an overated Gameboy. Way overpriced.

Awww man. Now I wish they were still making GBA games.

I can't wait for it to come out in the US!I got DS for Christmas so I have one and I have a Tamagotchi GameBoy game and it's fun so imagine how fun the new one will be!

Will be in the US (cant remember where I posted the news story talking about it...)

It got me thinking... I hope they manage to keep the Connection/Connexion part of being able to talk to other tamagotchis. The DS has a way to communicate with other DS in the area... That would be pretty sweet (but all wishful thinking at this point). Without that I am hoping for a colorized tama with some animations like on the Keitai/cell phone screen shots.

I think that's more or less what they have in mind. If I may speculate and make stuff up, I think this should be an online title, that's somewhere between Nintendogs and Animal Crossing. A lot of people in various Nintendo DS circles think that a Tamagotchi game for DS is too ridiculous and can't compare to Nintendogs, but I think if Bandai either did a great job with the 3D or made a crazy beautiful 2D game that was online, then this could really work. I think Nintendogs would still be more popular and be prefered by hardcore and casual gamers, but I think that the Tamagotchi game can have a healthy fan following if they try.

 

[allygotchi]

cool. thanks for all the info.

 

[TrickerTreat]

I have a DS, so hopefully this will come to the US!

And even if it doesn't it'll probably be sold on playasia.com, and I think that Japanese DS games work with US DS's...sooooo yeah :]

 

[kinsai]

Yeah, I too have a DS and am planning on getting it. I wonder if it will be like the tamagotchi games for the original gameboy.
