Bandai Releases Tamagotchi Uni 1.4.0 Big Autumn Update
The November update is here, and it’s a big one! Bandai has just announced that Tamagotchi Uni 1.4.0, aka the big autumn update is here. Some features were teased in recent social media posts, and now they’re available to all Tamagotchi Uni owners. The power of software!
So what’s new in 1.4.0? First, an option for “Information” has been added to the Tama Arena event menu, which will allow you to check what day you are on for the current event, and your current high score. This is a huge feature and is super helpful because with the timezone of the events being in JST, it’s easier to miss a day than you think. Also knowing your highest score is helpful.
Next are the features that Bandai teased on social media. You can now send hearts in the Tamaverse, add a Tama Name, and greeting for your character as well, which can all seen in the Tamaverse. You can set your nickname, greeting, and birthday from your profile.
Bandai has also added mini game option to connection menu to play with other Tamagotchi Uni owners. It looks like you'll now be able to play the Fast Food mini game with others, and the first tor feed 10 burgers, wins.
Bandai has also mentioned that they have updated the conditions for participation rewards for the Tama Arena events. This helps you get better, and more rewards! For example, you can earn multiple prizes by playing a certain number of days, and the grand prize is given to those who participate either 6 or 7 days of the event. This is a big win!
It’s clear here that Bandai is listening to your feedback actively. There are a lot of features in this update that you’ve been asking for, and it’s making the Tamagotchi Uni experience so much better. Bandai has also made some adjustments to displays and effects, for a smoother gameplay experience. This also includes minor bug fixes.
Lastly is the new Tama Arena limited-time event, Nyanoe Dance! This event is hosted by Ano-Chan, a member of the Tama Family. The event was mentioned by Bandai last month, and now we have all the details, and it’s going to be so much fun! The event starts on Friday, November 24th 2023 at 14:00 JST and runs until Friday, December 1st, 2023, 13:59 JST.
Okay, so how do we play? Nyanoe has joined a fun-looking dance party at the Tama Arena! Remember, Nyanoe is a character designed by Ano! Formerly a cute white cat, but turned gray from dirty. Nyanoe likes the taste of medicine, and eats anything Ano can’t eat.
Nyanoe is spewing up rainbows and music notes, kicking off a dance battle! Tamagotchi characters from around the world will choose between team cat (blue) and team mouse (yellow)! Groove along to the music by pushing the notes that come out of Nyanoe’s mouth. Be sure to participate every day and get a high score to help contribute to your team. Bandai discloses that the level of difficulty between practice and play is different, play is more difficult so make sure to practice beforehand (we wish we knew this earlier for the other events).
The “A” button allows you to grab the notes in the pink lane, “B” button the blue lane, and “C” button the yellow lane. This reminds us of Guitar Hero! Push the buttons at the right time as the notes flow down from Nyanoe’s mouth to the bottom of your Tamagotchi Uni’s screen. For longer notes, hold down the respective button. Let go of the button as the note reaches the end. There are two different types of notes, a normal note, and a long note, which features a face on it.
Time your buttons correctly and your Tamagotchi all groove to the rhythm. Nyanoe will tell you the color of the winning team by the color coming from Nyanoe’s mouth. Results will then be announced after each game and you’ll see how you place!
Results will be calculated from Friday, December 1st, 2023 14:00 JST through Monday, December 4th, 2023 13:59 JST. Rewards will be distributed from Monday, December 4th, 2023 14:00 JST through Monday, December 11th, 13:59 JST.
Per this latest update, the reward system has changed. Depending on how many days you participate, you will receive different, and potentially multiple awards.
The rewards are Music Aura (accessory) (reward A), Nyan Headband (accessory) (reward B), Sick Bag (accessory) (reward C). You can earn rewards A, B, and C is you play for 6 to 7 days, Rewards B & C if you play for 2 to 5 days, and lastly reward C if you play for 1 day. We really like that you can earn all three rewards, and fans have been asking for this!
Of course the winning team, either team cat (blue) or team mouse (yellow) will win the grand prize of 5,000 Gotchi Points!
Be sure to update your Tamagotchi Uni to version 1.4.0 to start the fun! Here’s how you can update: Main Menu -> Network Icon -> Update -> Check -> Check For Updates -> Yes. Enjoy the latest version of Tamagotchi Uni, it just keeps getting better.
