Eleven years ago in Japan, a woman named Aki Maita started a pop culture phenomenon with the idea of a virtual pet. She sold the idea to BanDai of Japan and the virtual pet craze was born. Tamagotchis flew off of the shelves for years until the fad died down and BanDai eventually stopped making Tamagotchis alltogether.
But, in 2004, the virtual pet craze was brought back to life with Tamagotchi Plus and Tamagotchi Connection/Connexion!
There's been Tamagotchi Plus, Ketai, Cho-Jinsei, Ura-Tama, and TamaSuku. Elsewhere in the world, there's been V1, V2, V3, V4, and V4.5. But, have you noticed that BanDai of Japan hasn't released a new Tamagotchi for this year? TamaSuku doesn't really count because you don't care for a Tama.
It just makes me wonder; how long will it last? Will there be a V5 or a V6 or V7? Will they keep making Tamagotchis? Or will they stop like back in the late '90s? I sure hope not, I hope Tamagotchis go on forever! What do you think?
