Play Virtual Games at Marapets |
Bandai Plays ChickenSaturn World News Tamagotchi prepares to migrate to Western shores Say "Tamagotchi!" Bandai, building nest eggs for October's upcoming merger with Sega, is bringing the Tamagotchi, or "virtual pet," to the United States this spring. If you've never seen one, the Tamagotchi is a little green egg with a tiny LCD screen on it. Inside the screen, a virtual chicken hatches and grows. Virtual pet owners need to feed it, scoop its poop, give it medicine when it's sick, or it will die, leaving owners feeling pretty guilty. It's a hit craze in Japan like the Tickle Me Elmo toy in the States, getting scalped to desperate buyers for $300 or more. With the American International Toy Fair starting Monday, this is prime opportunity for Bandai to catch in on the next fad wave. |
