Original Tamagotchi review: The reboot of the '90s classic is still addictive
Original Tamagotchi
$19.99
The Good
Choose from either classic colors (Gen 1) or new colors (Gen 2) • Includes original addictive gameplay • Small size makes it super-portable
The Bad
Non-backlit display is antiquated • Battery isn't rechargable
The Bottom Line
Other than some color updates, there isn't much new to be had in the Gen 1 and Gen 2 Tamagotchis. But simplicity is the point: This is a fun, affordable pet-simulation toy that owners of the original will find irresistible.
