I've always been pretty interested with unused content in games, or how games developed over time with betas and prototypes etc. Version differences too - maybe there's some rare revision of a game that's slightly different from the rest, maybe there's minor differences between different versions of the game depending on which region the game was sold in. Something about it all is just... really interesting to me?
Recently I've been using this interest to actually actively seek out such information - and as it turns out, there are lots of features of Tamagotchi that never saw the light of day. Most of it is really hard to find because of the way Tamagotchis are coded, but with recent advances in Tamagotchi hacking (see any of Natashenka's hacks, for example), we've been able to find plenty of interesting unused features. Sometimes obscure versions of Tamagotchi are released too, though most of the time the differences are so subtle they're hardly noticed or the version is so rare that information on it is hard to find.
That's why recently I've been compiling lots of information about this sort of thing and I want to share it with you all - hopefully some of you will know stuff that I don't.
A good place to start is "The Cutting Room Floor" - it's a site dedicated to exactly this kind of thing. Currently there are four Tamagotchi pages, though one of them is a very short page on the Tamagotchi Town SNES game. I recently created pages on the Tama-Go and Tamagotchi L.I.F.E / Classic, you can find them here if you want to read them:
https://tcrf.net/TamaTown_Tama-Go
https://tcrf.net/Tamagotchi_Classic
With regards to Tamagotchi Connection the page is a bit less complete - there's a lot we don't know and I'm hoping we can fill some gaps in our knowledge.
For example, did you know that there's a rare version of the Tamagotchi Plus called the "GLAY EXPO" edition, which featured a different birthday animation and a unique dating partner? Did you know there's a rare version of the V2 designed partly by PUMA which features a different egg / hatching animation? Did you know that glitches on the V2 have shown graphics for the ticket items and the flag game, despite neither of those features being normally obtainable until V3? (Don't believe me? Skip to 8:35 and 10:05 in this video:

Did you know that there was a cancelled version of the V6 called "World Tour Edition" - could this version have used the unused tickets?
So yeah. There's lots of obscure information and lots of things we just don't know yet. I hope we'll be able to find out more!
EDIT: just realised this is in the comments and rumours section - I had multiple tabs open when I wrote this so I might have put it here by accident since it was meant to go in Seriously Tamagotchi, does it need to be moved? Or is this section still appropriate?
