Bandai Japan Heads to GDC2023 for āTamagotchi Classic Game Postmortemā 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.

Nobuhiko Momoi may even share where Tamagotchi is heading into the future.
āIn this session, take a walk through history and learn about what was at the core of the original virtual petās 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.ā
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 youāre 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?
