New Article: Tamagotchi Video Adventures!

A reader was nice enough to mail me this one, and if you've ever played with a Tamagotchi, learn more about those little creatures you raised with Bandai's infamous Tamagotchi Video Adventures. It's a really odd special featuring Tamagotchi monsters running around Earth looking for souvenirs, ending off with a live action segment where some bored artist teaches kids how to draw Masktchi with the help of a sock puppet named Handy Worhol. Jesus. Still not as bad as you might think, and worth a look if you were into the stupid keychains a few years back.

I remember Tamagotchi. I have to admit I had an alien one. I liked it for about 3 days, then it went into a drawer. I still don’t know what happened to it.

I never had a Tamagotchi. My friend Cindy did but me and like everyone else she knew would always steal it to see who could kill it first.

Look: it’s Mimitchi’s brother, Mametchi. YAY!

Yes!! I swiped my little cousin’s Tamagotchi and tossed it into the lake. She cried. Then got a new one.

BTW…where’s the new Cobra Chia Plot?

I had a knock-off tamagotchi. I blame my parents, who were clueless but had seen my cousin’s damn thing. I didn’t want it, but as a bonus, it had a PUNISH button (I think it was actually labeled "scold" or something). BUT it caused a bonk-in-the-head animation and did something to the critter’s happiness and loyalty?

I whacked the CRAP out of my Tamaknockoffs.

Wow I got here early this time…
I had a Tamagotchi knock off my last year of primary (elementry) school, it was shaped like a dog.

::in an obsessive haze:: It’s never going to happen is it? We’re just going to sit here, pretending it will, waking up every morning running like a kid to a christmas tree, only to find out the present santa promised isn’t there! There never was a continuation was there Matt?! Just admit it, you enjoy watching me suffer. You enjoy that for the rest of my life I will wonder about what happened to Zartan and destro and all the rest there on Gilligan’s island.

Well I Tell you what? I’m going to make my own website called Y-entertainment.com and It’ll be better than this one! and yah know why? yah know why Matt? Because every article will be Action figures in crazy adventures! AHAHAHAHAHAHA. Then maybe I’ll make some smores, and you won’t be able to have any! OK, maybe you can have some, but not too many. I really like smores.

Great review, Matt — this looks like some pretty wild stuff. I was never big on the whole Tamagotchi craze (too expensive for me…), but back when I worked at KB Toys our remaining stock of Tamagotchi plushies got knocked down to a quarter apiece…so of course I bought them all. Cute little buggers, they are.

Fire Beats Wood! Water Beats Sun!

Chestnuts roasted by Darth Monkey @ 04/27/2004 8:38 AM

I mean water beats fire. Sun beats them all.

Trippy, you could always got for XY-entertainment. It could be like Spike TV. Do they make a Sylvester Stallone action figure?

Chestnuts roasted by trajeal @ 04/27/2004 8:54 AM

Yeah Matt, nice job on the Battle Beasts reference. Makes me happy to see anybody else talk about them crazy critters. That how I found X-E in the first place. Year ago I was bored and online, so I googled Battle Beast. Got the link to your article. Wham!!!! Now I’ve been religiously reading your site for more than 12 months. You bass-tard, whats next? Are you going to start selling crack too?

You’re sure this was originally in Japanese, Matt? The facial expressions and character designs(especially on that little girl) really don’t look like the usual Japanese style. I think this might have been a domestic job (though like almost all of our shows, it was probably animated by Koreans).

Chestnuts roasted by blizack @ 04/27/2004 9:03 AM

looking back on these I cant believe I ever actually owned one..two..four..yea I had four ehh..it was fun while it lasted, and it’s probably good that I never saw this special or I may have went on a rampage and bought a dozen more..bill and the fire sperm tamagotchi are the greatest though

Chestnuts roasted by wes @ 04/27/2004 9:25 AM

Wow. I want to see that. Matt, why didn’t you include downloads?

Chestnuts roasted by Icymatt @ 04/27/2004 9:30 AM

I kinda expected to find robot lady saying "Tamagotchi" at the end of the article…

Chestnuts roasted by Roddy @ 04/27/2004 9:54 AM

I had a Tamagotchi, but I had to stop playing with it because the emotional pain of it repeatedly dying became too much for me. It was tearing me apart inside.

I tried some of those goofy virtual pets on my computer, but everytime I turned off the computer, I would come back a few days kater, turn it on, and the pet starved to death. The stupid thing needed constant maintanence even with the computer off. I guess that if a kid can’t keep that thing alive, he shouldn’t get a real pet. I just thought it was cool running around the screen. Then of course it peed on my files.

I’ve had my Tamagotchi alive for 7 years now. Same batteries and all. I named him Jesus.
