Tamagotchi GEN 1 Original – Japanese 30th Anniversary Special Box Edition – White

To celebrate 30 years since the launch of the original Tamagotchi franchise in Japan in 1996, Bandai have released your favourite Virtual Pet in this new 2026 30th Anniversary Edition.

This exclusive domestic Japanese release also features its own 30th Anniversary Special Box, making it one of a kind and a must have for collectors.

While Western markets receive a standard blister-card packaging for 30th-anniversary standard shell releases, this premium foil-stamped, book-style collector box is exclusive to Bandai's Japanese distribution.

Key Details

• Packaging Design: Comes in a premium, collectible book-style box featuring celestial gold foil line art, classic star patterns, and the 30th-anniversary logo featuring Mametchi.
• Device Shell: Features a simple, vintage-inspired clear/skeleton plastic shell design, paying tribute to the original 1990s clear shell aesthetic.
• Programming: Runs on original Generation 1 (P1) vintage programming, featuring classic pixel art on a monochrome LCD screen.
• Power: Pre-installed with a replaceable CR2032 button-cell battery and includes a keychain clip attachment.

Gameplay

• Care System: Feed it meals/snacks, clean up its droppings, flush the toilet, turn out the lights when it sleeps, play games to keep it happy, and discipline it when it misbehaves.
• Minigame: Includes the original Gen 1 Character Game (guessing which direction the Tamagotchi will turn).
• Evolutions: Care quality determines which adult character it grows into—ranging from the ideal Mametchi to Ginjirotchi, Masktchi, or Kuchipatchi.
