I am excited about the Tamagotchi Uni! I admit I wasn’t thrilled at first and still have some mixed feelings. Nonetheless, I am now leaning much more toward a positive perspective rather than a negative one.
At first, the Uni didn’t impress me. I appreciated that it connects to wi-fi, but wasn’t thrilled about having a built-in battery I can’t change at any point. I can deal with it for wi-if accessibility, though. I also didn’t like that it comes in a watch format, a concern that seeing the cute tama lanyards they’re offering quickly alleviated.
The design itself is sleek yet cute. I love how it combines the art style of the Pix with the features of the Smart and then some. I can only handle running my Pix Party for now, but I might get an Uni in the future.
There are some things I still dislike about the Uni though. I’ve been told it’ll be running on chips that are akin to the Smart Cards used by the Tamagotchi Smart. I don’t like how each card is only compatible for 3 devices, then it stops being usable. I also heard you can’t individually select and store the items from a card on your device like you can with the Pix devices. Compared to the Pix devices, the Uni’s approach feels a bit encumbering to me.
Then again, having a communal tama space to access online sounds like major fun!
Regardless of my mixed opinions, I very much look forward to seeing everyone’s pictures of the Uni and reading their experiences with their devices.
