I think it's neat that you get 3 characters, the thing tells you their names (what they are) and I'm just personally thrilled that I get an English Tamagotchi to play with.
I am not thrilled with the shell design. That house on the top is a little goofy but I'll get over it.
I hope the V5 grows on you a little more. I think it's a nice Tamagotchi.
