Details on the Nano seem very scant at the moment. I'd like to get one, if only to see how it differs from the Chibi/Mini.

They have some for bidding on eBay, but there were some bidding wars going on!

[Stu_Dee_Jay]

I'll wait to see them appearing as "buy it now" items. I can seldom be bothered with bidding on eBay.

Ooh! Might take the plunge on payday, then (Friday).

Just got my nano. It's very, very small and egg-shaped (so cute). I didn't get a chibi so I can't really make a comparison. But it has no icons and no status screen. You press A button and you're taken to a screen that I assume says "food" and "play". In the food screen, as per usual you have a choice of a meal and a lolly. The only game that I can play at the moment is one where you catch falling letters, matching the one that is displayed. I don't know if you'll get more games in later stages of evolution. Not entirely sure how to check it's status, but you can press the C button and your character comes up to the screen and makes a happy face (don't know whether it does that all the time or if its indicative of its mood, etc). The screen is clear and easy to see, unlike the chibi (I used my friends' once and found it hard to see). It's cute but if you haven't ordered yours yet I'd probably wait for the price to drop a little, doesn't really seem worth $30.

Update: The nano does poop, you just press A to flush it. And pressing C does show you it's mood, by little bub seems to be upset with me at the moment! Gotta go play with her now!

I want the Meloditchi plush!

Anyways, the Tamagotchi nanos on HLJ (Hobby Link Japan) have sold out, but Jason on ebay is selling a green one for cheap!

Very helpful, thanks ! ^_^

You know, I was wondering what all this hype about a Tamagotchi Nano was ! Looks like this will be a good chance for me to get back into the Tama spirit again. :)

[Stu_Dee_Jay]

It's all sounding very similar to the Tamagotchi Chibi/Mii at the moment. I reckon I'll hang on and wait for the price hysteria to die down a bit before I get one; I'm busy saving for a spare Santaclautchi.

[PretzelNymph]

I received mine today (wooh!) and am holding off until my current tama dies or flies away. However I did take some size comparison pictures, which hopefully will be helpful for someone.
It is smaller than the p2, I was surprised to discover. It is Quite miniscule.

Then a V4:

And finally the tama-go:

I'm glad I got it, it looks very cute. I can't wait to try the gameplay!

[pollux]

I have started my nano yesterday around 5 PM. Now it's noon and it hasn't evolve !
I wonder if it will grow up ?!

[pollux]

Oh. My nano has evolved a minute ago, 24 hours after having started it. It's a mametchi !

[Stu_Dee_Jay]

Thanks for the comparison photos PretzelNymph!

It's certainly much bigger than the Mini/Chibi looking at those photographs. The Mini truly is titchy.

you should log it!

[PretzelNymph]

@Tamame20 In fact, if anyone is interested, I have started a log.

It's my first attempt at a log, so be easy on me :0
I really like the nano so far. I'm glad I went ahead and got it.

[_mamatchi_]

WOW!
The toddler is from the iD, and if I get one, I hope I get Lovelitchi or Meloditchi!

[pollux]

Hey, my nano has been an adult for 8 days now... I'm wondering, will a mtchmaker come ? or will my nano die ?

In addition the the photos provided by PretzelNymph, here are a series of photos I took, showing a side-by-side comparision of the Tamagotchi nano and Chibi Tamagotchi (Japanese version of a Tamagotchi mini.)

They're about the same height & width, but the nano is much thicker. The nano has a higher resolution display.










In the above photo, the screens appear to be the same size, but actually, the nano's screen is a bit bigger than the chibi's. Their relative screen sizes can be judged in the top-most photo.

I think some of the reason for the nano's increased thickness is that it takes 2 LR44 batteries, which are thicker than the CR2032 used in the Chibi.

Also, as hinted at in the 3rd and 4th photos, the rounder design sets the screen lens in a bit, so hopefully it'll be less likely to get scratched.

[Dangoobotchi-lover~]

I have a question.
The Tamagotchi Nano is like a regular tamagotchi, you
raise it from Baby-toddler-teen-adult, right?
And if so, what are the teens?
