This Tamagotchi Original Japanese Ribbon shell is a great example of the digital pet fun Bandai has been providing since the 1990s and has the same authentic functions as the original models. Take care of your Tamagotchi by keeping it fed and happy while also keeping it clean and healthy. Your Tamagotchi will have discipline level, hunger, and happy meters that you must keep full to provide the best standard of care. You can feed your cyber pet food to fill the hunger meter, and snacks to fill the happy meter, but both will make the Tamagotchi put on weight so be sure to play games with them that will also increase their happiness. As time passes your electronic pet will need cleaning as a regular pet would, if you don't do this promptly your Tamagotchi can become ill and you will need to heal it with medicine. You can also turn the lights on and off with your virtual pet's sleep cycle and discipline them if they are demanding your attention when there is nothing wrong. As your Tamagotchi grows from child through to adult, it will change into different forms based on the quality of care it has received, increasing the level of replayability. You can take these electronic pets wherever you go with the handy chain attachment, add them to a keyring or bag as a fun accessory. Each Tamagotchi Original comes with one CR2032 battery included.
