Bandai Japan Announces TinyTAN Tamagotchi
TinyTAN are animated characters based on BTS and created by Big Hit Entertainment. The original BTS Tamagotchi’s must have sold really well, because there’s another BTS Tamagotchi coming soon! Bandai Japan has just announced that the TinyTAN Tamagotchi will be released in Japan in September 2022!
The seven BTS members are in TinyTAN form on the TinyTAN Tamagotchi, and the BTS characters go back and forth between TINYTan and reality through the magic door. Upon booting of the Tamagotchi, you’ll take care of the magic door. The magic door can be cleaned and you will receive a knock, you will then receive your TinyTan character! The seven characters are RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook. However there is one secret TinyTAN character that you can unlock!
You’ll be able to feed your TinyTAN character their favorite meals and snacks, including steak, pork cutlet, hamburgers, egg tarts and more! We’re so excited about meal options, these are unique to the character. All characters will have the egg tart snack.
There are two mini games, one is called Dance! Dynamite, where your TinyTAN character can dance by following the button sequence displayed on the screen in the upper left-hand corner. The second mini game is egg tarting making where you’ll have to following the instructions on mixing and baking the ingredients. As you may know, BTS loves egg tarts!
You’ll see unique graphics throughout the day which include the waking up sequence where you’ll see the time (10:00AM) followed by your character waking up in their pajamas! At 2:00PM you might just see your TinyTAN character listening to music on their headphones. Then at 6:00PM you’ll see your TinyTAN character practicing their dance moves, and lastly at 9:00PM you’ll see them enter the sauna! There’s more graphics that you’ll see your TinyTAN character participate in throughout the day.
Just don’t neglect your TinyTAN character! If you spend less time together, you will get them stressed. The magic door might just show up and take back your TinyTAN character. So be sure to play everyday and have a good time!
There are two TinyTAN Tamagotchi shells you can purchase outside of the Hug My Tamagotchi set, the first one if the purple version which features a lighter purple outer ring and a dark purple inner ring around the screen with pink circles emulating LED lights you’d see at a concern. The buttons are a light blue color. The second shell is the red version which features a nice red shell, some musical notes and a black inner ring around the screen that looks very city esc. Both shells actually remind us a lot of the Tamagotchi Music Star from 2008.
TinyTAN Tamagotchi is also getting its own set of Hug My Tamagotchi! These are soft vinyl figurines that hold your Tamagotchi! These figurines are of course the seven BTS members. For the first time ever, there is a black TinyTAN Tamagotchi shel that is exclusive to the Hug My Tamagotchi set!
Preorders are now amiable on Premium Bandai Japan for ¥2530 with tax included, and the official launch is set for September 17th, 2022 in Japan!
