You Won’t Type Your Wi-Fi Password into the Tamagotchi Uni
Were you worried about how long it was going to take you to type in your Wi-Fi network password into the new Tamagotchi Uni? You’re not alone. Typing on a Tamagotchi can be difficult and sometimes frustrating, luckily data entry is limited on the device. When we heard about the Tamagotchi Uni connecting to Wi-Fi we were worried about how long it would take us to enter in our Wi-Fi network password, but it seems that Bandai has solved this.
Shigezo on Twitter was able to attend the 2023 Tokyo Toy Show and presumably learned more about the Tamagotchi Uni from the staff. Schigezo writes in a recent tweet that the new Tamagotchi Uni features a mechanism that allows you to enter the Wi-Fi network password from your smart phone. The Tamagotchi Uni will display a QR code which you will scan with your smartphone, you’ll be prompted to enter your Wi-Fi network password, and then the smartphone will communicate back with the Tamagotchi Uni so that you’re connected effortlessly!
How awesome is that? A sigh of relief! It really does look like Bandai has this all thought out, and we’re excited to see that QR codes will still be featured on the Tamagotchi Uni, should we still call them Tama Codes?
