DS opening new Tamagotchi Corner Shop

I have not played with tamagotchis or GigaPets since the huge craze period back in the '96-'97 era. Soo middle school......

you know guys the first one sold like 2.3 million copies world wide, in america and here in europe it sold 1 million copies, so this is a strong force that Nintendo has, NamcoBandai.

Only one word comes to mind... Sadly I can't say it for fear of getting banned. I'm sure we all know what it is...Sounds like, and is the opposite, of 'hit'

tamagochi ....lol

"exhibit A" that gamer's will buy anything

A best seller coming to the US? This game I'll get

I want to add that the first game is a million seller in Japan and still selling while the 2nd game has already sold more then 330k in Japan in its 3rd week and selling at a better pace then the first game. it is still in the top ten games chart of Japan (wait for GS to update their JapanCharts) neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=115023 So the success of the game is a good bet that they are bringing the game to west to profit as much from it as possible.

looks pretty...cool

Hopefully it's less repetitive than the first one and has more interaction with your Tamagotchi.

hopefully this is just a more advance tamagotchi, if not.. then LAME!

I liked the idea of the first one. but it was too repetetive hope they change that.

Tamagotchis weren't 'kiddy' once. When they first came out, practically everyone had them...it was rare to see a woman in her twenties without one clipped to her belt or hanging around her neck. But yeah, this isn't a real Tamagotchi. The video games are different to the real thing.

LOL i remember when these things costed like $50, now you can get them in vending machines for a dollar or two. why wont people let things go and let them die lol. EDIT: Eternal Darkness was not made by Nintendo, it was like you said, PUBLISHED by Nintendo, that has nothing to do with who DEVELOPED the game (Silicon Knights). The publisher doesn't make the game, the developer does. So you cant use Eternal Darkness as your defence, sorry.

I believe that Nintendo published Eternal Darkness, which isn't exactly a kiddy game.

Tamagotchis were popular @ a point. I remember everyone had them, almost like pokemon cards.

Dang things just won't die!!

Fascinating ....

My sisters used to like playing around with their Tamagotchis. Wouldn't be surprised if this sold real well in the US.

Wow. My little sister has one of those and it's so annoying.
