Bandai Japan Heads to GDC2023 for ‘Tamagotchi Classic Game Postmortem’ Session
You heard that right! Bandai will be making a splash at the GDC2023, which is the Game Developer Conference. The Game Developers Conference (GDC) brings the game development community together to exchange ideas, solve problems, and shape the future of the industry. Attendees include programmers, artists, producers, game designers, audio professionals, and business leaders.
Bandai will be attending the first ever “postmortem session” titled “Classic Game Postmortem: Tamagotchi”, a session that will walk through the history of Tamagotchi with Nobuhiko Momoi, the Director and CTO (Chief Tamagotchi Officer) at Bandai, sharing the core of the original virtual pet's success and what's been done to keep the toy relevant for almost three decades. Nobuhiko Momoi may even share where Tamagotchi is heading into the future.
“In this session, take a walk through history and learn about what was at the core of the original virtual pet’s success, what Bandai has changed about Tamagotchi to keep it fresh and relevant, and what has been kept the same to maintain brand awareness. You may even get an insight into where Tamagotchi is heading into the future.”
Attendees will uncover insights into what the Tamagotchi development team focused on to turn a piece of hardware that was designed to sit in the palm of your hand, into a real living pet that captured the heart of its owners.
GDC says this is a must-see session and is available for All Access Pass, and Core Pass attendees. GDC 2023 tickets are still available on their website if you’re looking to attend. Hosted at the iconic Moscone Center in San Francisco, California from March 20th, through March 24th, 2023. How amazing would it be to meet the Chief Tamagotchi Officer?
