Tamagotchi Connection Version 4

This article contains information about a scheduled or expected future product.

It may contain unverified or unreliable information, and may not reflect the final version of the product.

A quote from tamagotchi.com...

Beginning Saturday July 22nd, fans in the United States and Canada can log onto Tamagotchi.com and choose their favorite design from a selection of new styles. For three successive weeks, Bandai America will post a total of four designs to choose from, and the winner from each week will then qualify for a final round of voting during the week of August 12th-18th.

After what is expected to be a month-long, hard fought battle, one winning design will be chosen by fans, but it will not be revealed until December at a special ceremony presided over by the Tamagotchi King of TamaTown.com. The ultimate winning design will then be produced for arrival at retail stores in January 2007. For more information on voting and rules, please visit www.Tamagotchi.com.

Will it really happen? Or is Bandai pulling everyone's legs?

Looks like we have to wait until December to find out! I hope that TamaTown won't change, exept getting dolled up for the new v4. Like, maybe they'll upgrade it. Make it cooler, better. That's all for now! I'll update you when we get more news!

Yea, everyone's already noticed that it says it's for the V4 in the rules. However, when I e-mailed Bandai asking if the Shellection contest was for V3 or V4 shells, they replied with this:

It is most likely for the V3 as we've heard no official word on a V4 being available.
So I'm not sure what's true. It's even possible that whoever typed up the rules mistyped "V3" as "V4".

 
It is comming out in 07 in Jan in like 5 months ..... we dont have to waite that long .....

 
Nice find, Denryuu. I can quote it here. I'll edit the first post soon. I read the whole thing and it looks like the King of TamaTown is going to be the one telling us in December. Then it should hit stores in January. I sure hope this all pulls through!

\K/

EDIT: As an add on, I would like to say that I have not heard or these games:

Tamagotchi console releases

Game Boy

Three Tamagotchi games for the Nintendo Game Boy portable game system were released in Japan. The first one, also released in the United States, corresponds to the first two generations of the original Tamagotchi and had similar gameplay. The second game features characters from the Mori and Umi (Forest and Ocean) Tamagotchi. The final game released is based on Osutchi and Mesutchi, and features a unique cartridge with a user-replaceable battery and independent peizo buzzer that alerts players to turn on their Game Boy system and care for their virtual pet. Each had the smile game (to make them happy), the study game (to make them smart) and the sports game (to make them strong).
and I would truly like to have them. They sound ingenius.

Oh my Gosh that is soooooooo cool how on earth did you find out!

I wonder if tama v4 has a Giant mall! :furawatchi:

 
Well, whether it's for the V3 or the V4, I'm saving up some money to buy it, because I want another Tamagotchi anyway.

 
Okay, I sent an e-mail to Bandai and here is what I got. NOTE: I took out my e-mail so it doesn'y get filled with junk. Bandai's on the other hand...can be filled with questions. :unsure: :angry: If you want the link I used I can give it too you, but only if you need it. It takes you to a page where you can e-mail them.

Dear Kim:

There have been no official details on if/when a V4 would be available. We unfortunately can't speculate on items that may or may not be in development at this time.  Any OFFICIAL details on new products get released to www.bandai.com or www.tamagothci.com specifically.

Thank you,

Customer Service

This is a Question

MESSAGE:

I have an account on TamaTalk.com and we are all wondering, why all the publicity? It's not like you to talk so much before an upcoming release. Will the v4 be like a EnTama? Will it still be involved with TamaTown? So many questions, so little space. Please let us know on TamaTalk, as we are very jittery as to what the v4 will be like. Thank you!
