This feels like something that should've been around longer. But now, we finally get it. There's a Tamagotchi version of Grogu a.k.a. Baby Yoda. You take care of the little guy by feeding him squid chowder and macarons and play mini-games. You can unlock a bunch of outfits for Grogu. 

But be warned, you shouldn't overfeed him. Apparently, "if you feed the Grogu Tamagotchi too much squid chowder, the squid will jump on him." According to Bandai Namco, the Grogu Tamagotchi will be available for preorder on Amazon "soon."

Pokémon and Tamagotchi team up to launch an Eevee Tamagotchi toy

The inner ‘90s kid in me is having a field day with this news. Pokémon and Tamagotchi have partnered to release an Eevee Tamagotchi, which will be coming to Japan on January 26, 2019. From what we know so far, it looks like the gameplay is similar to the traditional Tamagotchi but it’s cooler since you get to take care of your own Pokémon.  

Based on Tamagotchi’s Japanese website, how you take care of your Eevee will determine whether it turns into an Umbreon, Jolteon, Vaporeon, or its other forms. The toy will be coming in yellow (I love you, Eevee design) or pink (Colorful friends design) and is listed at JPY 2,484, which is roughly $30. Unfortunately, there is no news yet if these Tamagotchis will be making their way out of Japan. We sure hope they do, though.

‘Tamagotchi’ is making a comeback, comes to Android and iOS

For someone who grew up playing with the original Tamagotchi, this latest news from Bandai Namco Entertainment and developer Paladin Studios is tugging at my heart strings. With a lot of the classic games getting rebooted lately, it’s not exactly surprising that the beloved pixel-based pet is getting a 2017 refresh. Called My Tamagotchi Forever, the free-to-play game is coming to both Android and iOS next year. The great news is it has soft launched here already.

Just like the original game, you’re going to have to take care of your little pet. Feed it when it’s hungry, bathe it when it gets dirty, etc. Of course, it’ll alert you when it needs attention and that means you get one more distraction to ping you on your phone. The game will introduce different game modes and mini games to help you earn coins you can use within the game. You can, if you want, shell out actual money to use within the game. And just like everything else, you can share your Tamagotchi moments with friends.
