Tamagotchi Connection Version 3 includes three new games (for a total of five games), and 20 more characters (for a total of 52). Using the interactive, electronic egg-shaped Tamagotchi Connection, fans can go online and visit TamaTown.com. Here, they can shop in the TamaTown mall, eat in the international food court, watch a movie at the theater, visit with their virtual pet’s parents and grandparents, meet the King and even travel the world, just as long as they have their official Tamagotchi passport. And through the exchange of passwords, special items and treats can then be collected in the Tamagotchi egg as well. New colors and design styles include Tropical Green Flowers, Jungle Camouflage, Ice Cream, Oceanic Wave, Metallic Silver and Translucent Yellow.
— According to Cliff Jin, a public relations rep for Bandai America, Tamagotchi,is “…the world ’s first and most popular virtual pet.”
