Bandai Japan Announces Digimon Color V-Pet V1 & V2

It’s finally here! After several teasers dropped by Bandai Japan on the Digimon website and social media profiles, the Digimon Color V-Pet is now official. To help celebrate the 25th anniversary of Digimon Bandai Japan has released the original Digimon V-Pet V1 and V2 in color! Although the Digimon Vital Bracelet is the first color screen Digimon device, this is truly the first Digimon v-pet that is in color! It’s giving us Tamagotchi Plus Color (TMGC+C) vibes from 2008!

There will be four color v-pets, which include two version 1 and two version 2 devices. V1 shells include brown and gray, where V2 shells include white and black.It is important to note that version 1 shells have the same content, and version 2 shells have the same content.

The new screen unlocks a world of color! Not only are the characters in color, but the entire display including the background, menu screens, and more. The background can be changed, and you can get the background of other versions by connecting with them.

Digimon Color can only connect to other Digimon Color devices, it is not possible to connect to other Digimon v-pets. The device features the same keychain design, but when you look at the bottom of the device there is a small flap where you can unveil the USB Type-C charging port at the bottom right-hand corner. Now that is modern! For comparison, the Tamagotchi Smart feature micro USB at this time. Bandai Japan notes that the device is the same exact size as the original, and modernization has not compromised the shape or size in any way!

The character lineup Is based on the original 18 Digimon per v-pet version 1 and version 2. ShinMonzaemon from Monzaemon in the V1, and Ebemon for Vademon in the V2. 17 characters are displayed, but one character in each version is hidden!

The training function you know and love is there in full color, and is of course different for V1 and V2 programming. There is also the single player battle system too, which does not require a partner. It’s just so nice to see the graphics in color!

Support functions have been enhanced, and are easier to play. These include faster breeding which helps your Digimon grow up faster. Cold mode, which will cause growth to stop and stomach and muscle strength will not decrease. Lastly, the backup system where you can save up to one Digimon training as a backup.

There’s even a bonus item! You’ll get a mini shikishi by Japanese designer Kenji Watanabe which features Tyranomon titled Digimon 25th Anniversary Shikishi Version Digimon Origin.

Preorders are now available on Premium Bandai Japan for ¥6,930, preorders are set to close on September 30th, 2022 and will ship in February 2023.

Bandai Japan Thanks Digimon Color Owners & Explains Packaging + Wallpapers

In the latest Monmon Memo on the Digimon website Bandai Japan is thanking the Digimon fans who have purchased the recently released Digimon Color! That’s right, the first Digimon to be in color, feature a rechargeable battery, and USB-C connectivity!

Bandai Japan uses this Monmon memo to not only thank the fans, but also to review the packaging and how it has been reprinted from the original Digimon Color! They explain the styling and the foil stamping that is featured throughout the packaging as well. We really enjoyed the side-by-side comparisons of the packaging from the original.

Lastly, Bandai Japan reviews the background images and explains the significance of each one. What’s really unique is that the Digimon Color is a color version of the original, so it’s so interesting to see the spirits remain their pixelated selves, but in color. The wallpapers are very much retro themselves too.

They tease that the next memo to include more information about training, so that will be exciting! Have you gotten your hands on the Digimon Color yet?
