#instructionmanual

Time to look through every inch of the manual and see what’s new! This year there is no true “manual” but rather a nurturing guide. The guide has been posted in all 9 supported languages of the device on the Tamagotchi Paradise website. Enjoy!

Last Monday I stumbled upon a Facebook marketplace listing of 24 NES manuals and thumbing through the listing photos I saw 6 or so that I didn’t have in a lot of what I though was a dozen.  Each pic showed 6 manuals and in my haste I only clicked through to the 2nd picture.  Little did I know that there were twice as many manuals and another 2 I didn’t have.

It wasn’t until after I contacted the seller that I realized that I would be getting 2x as many booklets.  Not a moment or two after I reached out the listing was removed and I didn’t even get a chance to commit to memory which items the lot contained so I asked if the pictures from the listing could be sent to me.  The seller was nice enough to forward them on.

It was an absolute bonus that the 8 manuals I needed from the lot were, at least according to my calculations, worth as much as I was paying for the whole lot.  The other 16 were perfect for trades down the road.  I think with the exception of about 2 all of the others were upgrades as well.  All in all the $60 investment (shipping included) was a good one.  

The seller was awesome!  He kept in touch the whole time to ensure the manuals reached me safely and curated them beautifully in plastic covers.  After 30+ years these books looked as glossy and crisp as the day they were released (with one small exception:  someone had cut off the head of one of the characters on the cover of the G.I. Joe pamphlet). These are some of the nicest manuals in my collection by far. 

By virtue of this transaction I added the following books to my binder:  Castle of Dragon, G.I. Joe: the Atlantis Factor, Darkman, Hudson Hawk, Kickle Cubicle, Toki, Trojan and Qix.  

You’ve been waiting, and it’s here! If you haven’t gotten your hands on the Tamagotchi Uni then this is super exciting!

The moment we’ve all been waiting for since the update to Tamagotchi.com introducing the Tamagotchi Pix. Bandai has finally posted a link to the official Tamagotchi Pix instruction manual! The manual is currently only available in english on the website, but we’re sure the other languages will follow. Much to our surprise, and super on brand with pictures, this will be the first Tamagotchi manual published in color!

The instruction manual reveals some new goodies too! You’ll find a description of what each icon in the menu is for, new graphics, new touch gestures, and apparently the ability to put your Tamagotchi character to sleep, and even view their dreams on demand.

Other features we are super excited for include “E-Shop”, the ability to order items and have them delivered right in your living space.

The “Sitter” feature will cost 100 Gotchi points and will watch your Tamagotchi character, keep them happy and healthy. The sitter is only available from 7:00AM through 6:55PM as long as your hunger and happy meters are not at zero.

We are super excited to see that the backyard, now known as the garden will feature some trees and even allow you to harvest fruit, items, and even accessories It looks like you’ll be responsible for watering the trees once a day, and as they grow you will be able to harvest all sorts of items to store in your fridge, and item box.

We finally get insight into the last two mini games on the Tamagotchi Pix, and we must say they look so cute! Apparently these games are called “room mini games”, we would assume that they are not in the arcade, but are from the living space. The first one is “Cooking Room” where you must move left and right where you need to get into the red to succeed! Your Tamagotchi character will be creating some delicious food within three tries, and the food created will be stored in your fridge. The second game is “Performance Room”, pressing any button within the time limit to make hearts appear is key as your Tamagotchi character performs. The more hearts you make the higher the excitement gauge will rise!

Bandai America has just posted both the English & French manuals to the R2-D2 Tamagotchi listings on their website. The manual reveals more detail about the device, including the characters, which are different iterations of R2-D2 and even the special characters as well! We also have a peak inside the unique features of charging, and wiping R2-D2 down!
