Bandai Japan has just published some of the saddest news on TamaTV.com. We regret to inform you that the last and final Tama Depa; the popular Tamagotchi department store, will be closing. You may remember there being two Tama Depa’s in Japan, but the one in the Tokyo Station closed last June. Bandai Japan has decided to permanently close the Tama Depa in Harajuku, the last remaining location at 7PM on February 26th.

No reason has been provided for the closure of the final Tama Depa, but we must assume it was related to slow sales and the declining interest in the Tamagotchi brand. Bandai Japan is advising Tamagotchi fans to purchase Tamagotchi merchandise at Bandai’s online shop after the closure of the Tama Depa.

Tamagotchi Corner Shop was the first Nintendo DS game released by Bandai America back in August of 2006. This game was a shop simulator game which focused on Tamagotchi characters running shops. The players Tamagotchi partner (Mametchi, Memetchi, or Kuchipatchi) works in various shops, performing mini-games to help customers. Users can earn Gotchi points in the shops and use them to buy food, clothing, furniture, and decorations. The ultimate goal of the game is to make the various shops ‘royal’ (the highest status) by having Princess Tamako visit them. Here is a list of the various shops:

Dentist office

Laundromat

Music Club

Dental Salon

Beauty Salon

Bakery

Flower Shop

Accessory Shop

Takoyaki Shop

Spa

Florist Jeweler
