Those of you who grew up in the late ’90s to early 2000s will recall the adorable little digital pet sensation that was Tamagotchi. It’s hard to forget the little guys. They became an absolute fad of the period, and in less than a year after its debut in its home nation of Japan on November 23, 1996 to boot. It’s no wonder too. There’s just something about taking care of that little electronic critter that appeals to audiences across the spectrum. Not just to teenage girls either, despite the initial marketing.
Thus, it’s no wonder why Tamagotchis are still popular in the present day. This includes the more recent Tamagotchi Nano that made its debut in Japan on October 16, 2010. Why am I bringing that particular model up, you might ask? Well, if you’ve read the title of this article, then you might notice that there’s a special surprise for Tamagotchi fans for Anime Day.
