A few years ago, Tamagotchi On brought the original obsession of digital pets into the modern era, with a colorful screen and much more interactivity. Now, get a room. The $ 60 Tamagotchi Pix, announced today, allows you to take photos with yourself and other real-world items. Later, you can stick your little friend right in the picture. Bandai America also says that you can find up to 100 Tamagotchi friends while exploring the world, which can inspire a bit of Pokemon Go-obsession bait.
Among other changes, Tamagotchi Pix also has touch buttons, instead of physical clicks. The camera also allows you to capture real-world colors that you can use to influence the food you cook for your little friend. But, of course, you can only order delivery for your pet, as most of us do in 2021. Your photos will also shape your pet’s future career, which they will adopt when they return to their home planet. (Is that where all your failed Tamagotchi goes?)
