4 Things to Know About The 20th Anniversary Digimon Virtual Pet
Bandai America surprised us all at their New York Toy Fair booth by displaying the original Digimon virtual pet. The images of the Digimon virtual pet set the Tamagotchi & Digimon community into a whirlwind. Now we know that we are a Tamagotchi blog, but keep in mind that Bandai does manufacture both devices, and there is definitely a shared interest amongst respective fans.
We’ve got some additional news on the Digimon virtual pet’s return to the United States for the 20th anniversary, and we think you’ll enjoy it.
The 20th anniversary Digimon virtual pet will be identical to the Japanese version that was released back in 2017. The new features are that you can raise more than one Digimon on the 20th anniversary models, and you can share your Digimon you’ve raised with your friends.
The virtual pet will be available in Brown, Gray, Blue, & yellow which are the original colors from the 90’s.
GameStop has reportedly started accepting pre-orders in store. The SKU to preorder is 191562 and is listed for $19.99 USD.
The pre orders indicate that these devices are scheduled for a fall 2019 release.
As we hear additional information about the device we will be sure to keep you updated, note that the Digimon virtual pet is not run by the same marketing team at Bandai. Stay tuned!
