This July they're re-releasing the iconic Tamagotchi Connection V3 and new Tamagotchi Uni shells! The tamagotchi hype is slowly coming back and my inner child is healing 🥺

[@nicomarino3928]

8:32 THE WAY HOW THEY ANIMATED THE TAMAGOTCHI STRUGGLING TO BREATHE BREAKS ME😢🥺 (younger me would be be traumatised and have that play rent free in my head)

[@grapejuice2777]

4:08 my dad would always look after mine while I was gone 🥹

[@sashamurashi225]

it's always a great Saturday when Jess uploads another banger

[@changingpeopleslivesmoon2993]

agree

[@loonable]

i misread this as "its always a good day when jess eats a hamburger!"

[@Apollo-iz5jz]

Agree but I like the original designs

[@number1zanimallover183]

🐶🐱I love the early 2000’s virtual pet games❣️

[@unicornimaginationstationb6360]

1:36 I have the one on the left. I named it pistachio and whenever I go to school, my mom takes care of it.

[@sashamurashi225]

6:08 this is peak character design right here

[@Ineedaburrito]

I have a gudetama Tamagotchi and I love it

[@victoriav9056]

Same! Me too at 1 point!!

[@JellyJessYT]

Omg I’m so jealous

[@sourlemoneee]

as a huge tamagotchi fan, i think it's really cool you made this video 😆

[@hellohaveagoodday]

This is so convenient because I'm getting into tamagotchi as my current hyperfixation lol, I'm currently running two and have another waiting with yet another on the way

[@a.crazy.foxkin]

Omg SAME im AuDHD and really fixed on tamagotchis rn,, so exited for the rerelease I already preordered the rainbow shell and waiting on the Keitai JP vote to preorder whatever comes of that

[@hellohaveagoodday]

@@a.crazy.foxkin they're gonna be so cool!! I'm really interested in the new colour ones though so I'm planning to get an uni or a pix :]

[@thekid1617]

Bit of news for fans. They’re now re-releasing the connections in July. A slightly updated version of the V3. In case anyone is interested 🙂

[@Apollo-iz5jz]

I'm thinking of buying one

[@gamerkirby2851]

Mum:here is your dog you wanted *hands over tamagotchi* Me: BRUH

[@covenantfosu4872]

I love this channel so much from the animation to the narration, its amazing!!

[@skootergirl22]

I grew up in the 90s and had a few tamogochies, even a buzz lightyear one

[@DAgamon21]

I became a big big fan when the connections came out and I’ve been obsessed ever since. Been like 19 years now 😂

[@641mamaluigi]

6:50 JiraCHI … oh wait that’s a Pokémon (lol, I never thought how much jirachi’s name sounds like a tamagotchi name until now! XD) 💫

[@ChibbieG]

The heck did I do why do I have access to the whole video...

[@ChibbieG]

Like the video was premiering and KZbin was glitching and showing other videos like the end screen. Then I kept pressing the- rewind(?) button but then it said the premier was over and I had access to the full vid

[@acerfrazer]

Tamagotchi anime music was so nice the newer ones have updates like the tamagotchi uni

[@victoriav9056]

I remember I had Dokobachi but I really wanted Kiroichi lol

[@victoriav9056]

Dokobachi -> 7:04 Kiroichi -> 6:57

[@roselinamarfinale8417]

I actually currently own one! Mine is a more recent model though,so it was really cheap,but older models can for over or under 30 bucks,some even 60 bucks. These things are vintage for sure. Whenever I show someone my tamagotchi they tell me all about how they had those as kids ,telling me how they were really popular at the time being,but stopped being made or producted for reasons I do not know. Mine's battery had died though,so I probably gotta change the batteries. Only difference is my model can be restarted,so if it dies,you can revive with medicine or reset the game.

[@christina.aguiar]

all tamagotchis can be restarted

[@roselinamarfinale8417]

@@christina.aguiar My apologies! I thought only recent models could do that.

[@Creeperfish09offishal]

[@Bigmax2008xLDE]

Love the vid and the nostalgia. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@CosyKitty]

Apparently I got extremely traumatised by my first tama death according to my mom I had a tamagotchi music star and it died during school (I think) and my mom told me she had to console me for a couple of hours. I didn't know beforehand that it can die tho as I was too young and couldn't read the guide as I didn't speak the language at the time (could read Russian but the guide was in English/Finnish) I don't know if it fucked me up in the long run but I do remember being extremely scared of random death 😅

[@jessicagorton4754]

I have a idea for merch? Tamagachi KZbinrs! Think about it? It might be really cool to see which youtubers make this?

[@Clouditto]

Thanks to this video, I have become a tamagotchi expert. five stars (I had no idea what they were until ten minutes ago)

Fellow Tamagotchi anime fans! Will you help me get Bandai Namco to dub the rest of the Tamagotchi anime series so far from episode 27 to episode 271 aka episode 50 of Go-Go Tamagotchi in English? Help a fellow Tamagotchi fan out.
