Bandai Japan will be rereleasing the Tamagotchi Mini (Chibi Tamagotchi) in Japan this April! The Tamagotchi Mini was first introduced in 2005 as a low maintenance virtual pet, and even an accessory that could be clipped onto your backpack. The Mini features a fraction of the characters and features of any other Tamagotchi’s, keeping it simple like the original Tamagotchi series back in the 90’s. To further celebrate the 20th anniversary of Tamagotchi, Bandai Japan is rereleasing the Tamagotchi Mini in Japan! Although there is limited information provided about this new Mini there appears to be 6 characters, five characters are listed, and one is kept a secret on the official website. There are 6 different shell designs for the 2017 Mini, all of which are identical to the original Tamagotchi shells. Fans in Japan will not have to wait until April to get their hands on 2017 Mini! The Tamagotchi Mini will be released on April 8th, 2017 and will cost 1620 Yen. There will be an event in mid March where fans can get a hold of them weeks before the official launch, more information to follow.

Is there a difference between the Tamagotchi Nano series 1-4, besides the series 4 having a different evolution chart? Theres also two more Tamagotchi nano variations that seem to be called 'depa's, rather than 'series 1/2/3/4', is there a difference between the 'depa' tama's and the nano series? And one last thing, which is better, the Nano, or the chibi? Reference for the tamagotchi nano variations: http://php.scripts.psu.edu/dmh5086/t/nano.php
