What It's Like to Play Tamagotchi Connection (Version 4)

Have you ever wondered what it was like to play a Tamagotchi Connection? Saw the news about the Tamagotchi Connection Re-release but don't know what it's about? In this video I show what the gameplay is like for the Tamagotchi Connection version 4. While the new Connections might be different, this will give you an idea of what it is like to play one.

Man…I’m so excited. The Angel/monster versions of Tamagotchi release on my birthday, and the Connection releases around the same time too. I think I’m going to have to dive in on both of these! I can play the dancing game on the Uni at the very least!

[@JillGrygas]

What a great birthday present for you!!

[@scramblegotchi]

v4/4.5 are so nostalgic for me!!! im currentky playing my v4 that ive had since my childhood and the shell is in pretty rough shape from all the use it got but it luckily still works 🥰 im so excited for the new connection, like u said theyre easy enough to keep alive and happy as a busy adult but has enough depth to it to be fun and exciting!! also, i LOVE that blue and red starry shell you have omg its so cool!! suddenly i want it lol

[@JillGrygas]

This was my favorite of all the shells I saw on eBay and back in 2020 I was able to get it for just under $40! Thank goodness for the rereleases, I can’t afford the old versions anymore lol

[@Corie3269]

I live in Europe and we are still waiting on news about the re release for our region. Thanks so much for your video it made me even more happy this is happening. Really amazing how much more content you get with the Connection compared to Gen 1 and 2 (which I also enjoy) :).

[@JillGrygas]

I hope you get news soon! Where in Europe are you? I saw preorders go up on the UK. Not sure how much it would be for you to order from there. I love how much more content they have compared to the originals. Originals will always have a special place for me but it’s awesome how much the game has changed over the years!

[@Corie3269]

@@JillGrygas Unfortunately not UK, but Germany. Still, thank you for the information! The tama community feels very small here hence I'm grateful to be able to meet other fans online. 😊Yeah I understand how you feel, it's the same for me. I didn't have a Connection back in the 2000s, I'm soooo looking forward to it. ☺

[@newchapterasmr]

Hi, I’m from Portugal here and I thought the new V3 was going to be the same as the old one so I wasn’t going to get it, but after hearing Jill say it will include V4 features I need it! I was hoping I could get the one from Spain, as we don’t even have a release of our own, but they haven’t talked about it yet… it’s so frustrating when these things come out in the US and Europe is always neglected/late. To get it from the UK would make it 40€ which is too pricey

[@Corie3269]

Hi Jill! I just recently got back into tamagotchis and I have to say by far you are my fav tama creator!! You're videos are so calming and enjoyable to watch, I feel so much comfort from your joy for tamas hahah thank you for making these awesome videos :D

[@JillGrygas]

Thank you so much for commenting! That means a lot to me. All I want to do is share my joy and get people as excited as I am 🤗

I found my old tamagotchi connection v4 and I’m having a blast

[@JillGrygas]

The v4 is really awesome!

[@milkteaful]

My friends got the Meets recently so I restarted up my On to join them, and then I found my old v4 and bought new batteries for it!! I'm so excited for the re-release and the new Uni shells next month! The Tamagotchi hype this summer is so real 🤩

[@JillGrygas]

It's almost out of control and I LOVE IT!

[@lucyjexy]

Flag is in the V3, and hopefully it should be in the reboot as well. Obviously, don't quote me on that!

[@JillGrygas]

I can’t wait to find out what games it will have!

[@djwrahfael]

The Tamagotchi Connection is so much better than the original. I'm really interested on getting one. Thanks for the video!

Same I grew up with the connections the p1 p2 didnt have nostalgia as i was born after they came out.

Hi Jill! Love your videos ❤😊

Yay! Thank you!

[@-Scraggyanne-]

I am running one of my original tamagotchi v3 which I have quite a few of them. I love the v3 v4 and v4.5 tamagotchis they are my favourites ❤

[@JillGrygas]

You're lucky you have a few of the original v3!! They are expensive to get used now.

[@newchapterasmr]

I’m kinda sad that they didn’t re-release the V4 instead because I find the content a lot more interesting, and I was only able to get my hands recently on a cheap japanese V4 and I don’t get to enjoy it fully cause you constantly have to translate it. But my theory is they’re starting with the V3 so they (hopefully) will continue re-releasing down the connection line throughout the years and maybe in the next couple years we’ll have a V4 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Edit: I just heard the whole video and finding out the new one will have a mix of features of the two… I need it !!

[@JillGrygas]

My hope is that this release will go well and they will look at expanding gameplay for future releases that includes some stuff from versions 4 through 6! And yes, the rerelease is a combination of US v3 and Japans version of connection. It should be cool! RaTamaZone got his hands on a device early and made a video. Check it out!

[@newchapterasmr]

@@JillGrygas That’s actually a great idea! You should pitch it to them. They heard us this time, maybe they would hear you 😆 Everyone is so excited that I do think it will be really successful :) there’s no way it wouldn’t, nearly everyone in the community is pre ordering!

[@Chromathicka]

Congrats Tosakatchi on your Science Job!

[@JillGrygas]

I was so proud of him!

[@Wiseguy1138]

Definitely looking forward to when these arrive in July (got my GameStop Canada pre-order in...cancelled Amazon US because it was way cheaper to order from a Canadian retailer than do the importing). Retro Clear and Rainbow Shells ordered so my hubby and I can Connect together! Also excited to download the Monster Carnival (Devilgotchi) content on my Tama Uni when that's available.

[@JillGrygas]

I was so happy to hear preorders finally showed up in Canada for you and everyone else living there. Importing is too expensive! I’m also super pumped about the angel and monster. I’ll be talking about everything in my next Tama Tea Time video!

[@Wiseguy1138]

@@JillGrygas I definitely save those videos for over my lunch break at work when I need a break from the stress.

I'm excited I'm here running my v2 while I'm waiting

[@JillGrygas]

It has been fun to run the old ones while we wait for the new!

[@leanneland]

Ahh the mimic and shape games look hard, I think I would mess those up. 🙈 The jobs are really cool I didn't realize they had that. When the tama goes to school, is it away for the full day - like how the babysitting works? That'd be handy if so. 😊

[@JillGrygas]

I wish it was away for the whole day! Nope instead it just kinda goes away for a cute little animation then comes back.

[@unfortunatelyiamsane]

ahh i am melting down just trying to wait for this 🙇🏻‍♀️! this is exactly the content we needed at this moment. i’m having an issue though. on the hello kitty tamagotchi, i canNOT for the liFE of me get my lovelitchi a bow!! i have tried with three different lovelitchi at this point. i have definitely hit “10” perfect balloon games within the first hour of evolving, and have cleaned up after joey almost immediately! i’m beginning to wonder if there’s a glitch or something going on with mine. my initial Mametchi play through attained the bow. i was playing more of the piano game that time but failing more also. i’m better at the balloon game??

[@JillGrygas]

I need to go back through my old footage because I too was STRUGGLING to get the bow on any of my Hello Kitty Tamas. I can’t remember how I eventually did it but if I find that footage I’ll post it or come back here and tell you how I did it lol

[@unfortunatelyiamsane]

@@JillGrygas ahhh, thank you for being so willing to look into it for me! 😩 i come back to report that i have a bow now and may have figured out the issue. you can’t avoid the piano game. lmaooo. you really do have to play BOTH the piano game and balloon game equally- even if you don’t get a “Great Success!” each time. i was able to get it within about 20 hours of becoming an adult this time with lovelitchi by playing the piano game as much as the balloon game, cleaning up after joey twice, and keeping her fed, etc. the piano game is just harder but tbh i guess that’s the point! it wouldn’t actually be a game if it were too easy! so it wasn’t a _glitch_ (lol @ me trying to blame it on that), i doubt there’s even enough technology in a tamagotchi nano for a glitch like that 🤦‍♀️ i just had to DO BETTER

[@woolover09]

Can't wait for the release of these, it'll be my first time using the Connection's! Also can't wait for you to talk about the Angel & Monster Uni's! I havent heard anything about the prices for the actual devices tho, do you think it'll be the same price as the Sanrio Uni?

[@JillGrygas]

Yay to first time using a Connection! I think you'll have a lot of fun with it. I'm hoping to be able to film and upload soooon for the next episode of Tama Tea Time which will definitely be focused on the Angel and Monster Unis. My guess was that they would be $60. I don't think they would be as expensive as the Sanrio because you aren't getting quite as much content. Sanrio is going to have 10 new characters! I guess we will see. Hopefully we have more information before I film so I can include it in the next video!

[@woolover09]

@@JillGrygas Haha yea definitely! And right it would make sense for that pricing, ethier way can't wait for Tama Tea Time when you cover this! I hope they release more info before then too!

[@Fluffipanda]

@@JillGrygas There's a little lip at the top of the battery compartment (you can see it before you put the battery in) where you slip the battery underneath that and then press the bottom of the battery into place. It looks like you just put the battery on top of that lip and then had to use some force to get the battery in which broke it 😅probably not a big deal, I don't think it has a purpose other than holding the battery in place which the door should do anyway. But you might want to take the battery out to make sure there isn't a broken piece of plastic jammed in there underneath.
