Hey, so I just caught wind of this whacky little update from Bandai Namco. They dropped a gameplay trailer for this thing called Tamagotchi Plaza. You know them, right? Those little digital pets from the ’90s that kind of made everyone crazy? Yeah, they’re coming back on Nintendo Switch and the new Switch 2. Nostalgia bomb, anyone?
So, here’s the scoop: Apparently, this is part of that Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop lineup. And it all starts when the big cheese, the Great Gotchi King (kinda regal name, don’t you think?), announces this Tamagotchi Fest. And guess what? We’re the lucky ducks tasked with turning this place called Tamahiko Town into a festival-ready hotspot. Prince Tamahiko’s put us in charge. No pressure.
Now brace yourself for some nostalgia and chaos. Imagine setting up weird little shops around town – 12, to be exact! We’re talking classics like the dentist (don’t ask me why Tamagotchis need dental work) and some fresh blood like an Afternoon Tea Shop. Ever pictured a Tamagotchi sipping tea? I didn’t until now.
Oh, and get this – every shop’s got its own flavor of minigame. I mean, you can even rope in a buddy for some local multiplayer action. Serve these pixelated customers right, and you could become the plaza hero with over 100 Tamagotchis popping by to check out your joint.
And if you’re one of those who loves having everything connected, the game links up with the new Tamagotchi Uni toy. Exclusive goodies galore – like, you can’t get them anywhere else.
Mark your calendars, folks. June 27, 2025. That’s when Tamagotchi Plaza hits the shelves and the eShop for both Switches.
Anyway, wait, was there more? No, I think that’s it. Let’s see if it lives up to the hype, right?
