Bandai Japan Announces Tamagotchi Meets Fantasy Version
As predicted Bandai Japan has just officially announced the Tamagotchi Meets Fantasy Version! Sound familiar? Well this one was leaked in April, do we even remember a time before Tamagotchi leaks?
All our fantasies (pun intended) have been confirmed!
First off the two shells are just divine! You’ll be able to choose between the purple or blue shell which feature those beautiful jewels and a rainbow ombre faceplate. Fantasy Meets isn’t all about the looks - you’ll find some changes to the gameplay with various new locations through the Wonderland Picture Book such as Prince Palace, Arabian Night, and Fushigi no Kuni. New characters are Prince Mametchi, Lably Princess, Mero Arabian, Pamp of the Lamp, Yumei Alice, and Kirari Hatta. These are mostly your favorite Tamagotchi’s dressed up in their finest fantasy outfits.
Bandai Japan notes that it is possible to mix super unique characters with this new version that do not appear in other versions, such as Mamecchi who rides on Hakuba, and Takuchi Patchi who jumps out of the lamp!
In the “Mysterious Okuni” where the Trump soldiers live your Tamagotchi might turn either red or black when you meet them!
July 13th is the release date, and preorders should be available soon, if not already. Tamagotchi Fantasy Meets looks super adorable, and a welcomed edition to the lineup! Will you be ordering one?
Japanese Retailers Restricting Tamagotchi Meets Fantasy Version Purchases
The Tamagotchi Meets Fantasy Version has become VERY popular, even before the device was officially announced and is apparently flying off shelves in Japan. Fans are falling in love with the color of the devices, the beautiful reflective faceplates, and the adorable characters and locations too. This had lead to the device selling out continuously in several stores.
To combat the device flying off of shelves, retailers such as AEON, a large retailer in Japan, have restricted the Tamagotchi Meets Fantasy Version purchases to one per customer. This deters people from buying multiple devices and selling them elsewhere at a premium. It also ensures that the device will be on shelves for fans who are actively looking for it!
As the demand goes down, we are sure retailers will remove the restriction.
