Tamagotchis are coming to your smartphone
Remember your Tamagotchi that needed constant attention and wouldn't stop pooping 24/7?
You might have accidentally killed it from neglect, but it's now coming back to haunt you -- on your smartphone.
My Tamagotchi Forever, which is free to play, will be coming to smartphones and tablets in 2018.
Like the original game, you've got to take care of your Tamagotchi, feed it, wash it, entertain it, and obviously clean up its poop.
The rest of the game however, looks a bit less Tamagotchi and a bit more Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.
All Tamagotchis start off in "Tamatown", where they can go around making friends with other Tamagotchis. Your Tamagotchi is also able to wander through town, exploring each nook and cranny. There'll also be minigames and evolution features available in the new version of the game.
But despite all its new features, the game, which was first introduced 20 years ago, is heavily playing up the nostalgia factor.
The game, which will be available on both iOS and Android, appears to have already soft launched on Canada's App store.
So if you happen to be in Canada, you're in luck. For the rest of us, we'll just have to wait till next year.
