Tamagotchi 5 buttons. How to grow a Tamagotchi


For the youngest readers, it may be necessary to explain - in 1996, two Japanese, Akiro Yokoi from WIZ and Aki Maita from Bandai, came up with and began selling a fundamentally new electronic toy, the name of which is derived from two words - the Japanese “tamago”, meaning “egg” , and the English “watch” - to observe.

In the egg-shaped toy, the dramatic life of an alien creature unfolded on the screen, which hatched from an egg, grew, developed, and, in the end, died. It gave sound signals to the owner of the toy, who needed to monitor his pet, feed him, potty train him, remove his waste, and entertain him with simple games. These actions had to be performed using buttons.

The game, conceived as a way to teach little girls about future motherhood, gained incredible popularity and spawned a whole cult with an army of fans to boot. By 2010, according to official statistics alone, 76 million Tamagoki were sold worldwide. The idea of ​​the game was constantly developing and improving, and the number of possible interactions with the virtual pet was increasing.

In later versions of the game, two toys can be combined via an infrared port to produce virtual offspring - or the game can be connected to a computer to interact with special gaming sites. By earning Gotchi Points in games, you can buy various virtual food, toys, accessories and decorations for your pets' homes.


Classic version of the toy

By 2009, 44 different official versions of the toy (and countless Chinese clones) had been released. In 2013, Bandai released versions of the game for Android and iOS called Tamagotchi L.i.f.e., and the following year a sequel, Tamagotchi L.i.f.e. Angel."

Smartwatches are, in theory, ideal for a toy like this, although they don’t fully convey all its charms due to the limitations of third-party Apple Watch apps. In particular, there is no character animation, and for some reason you cannot play with him through the watch (only through a smartphone). If the constant notifications sent to your wearable device aren't enough for you, a constantly demanding pet should satisfy that need.

The retro fashion has brought back to life not only stripes on pants and platforms... Tamagotchi is the hit of the season, you can download it to your smartphone or buy a small pocket friend in a bright design - yes, yes, it looks the same as it did in 1997.

How to play Tamagotchi with 5 buttons

The version with 5 buttons has an additional key for scrolling and switching between actions - STATUS.

Watch your Tamagotchi hatch from an egg on screen.

Press the button in the middle and set the time and date. The Tamagotchi will hatch in 2 minutes.

Be prepared for the fact that you will have to babysit your Tamagotchi baby. Once hatched, it will be hungry and unhappy, so you will need to take care. Be sure to play with him actively so he doesn't gain too much weight and stays healthy.

Continue to take care of your pet. If you treat your Tamagotchi well, it will grow to become a wonderful creature.

If you see “squiggles” near your pet Tamagotchi and a mysterious expression on his face, if he walks forward, backward, and to the side, it means he wants to go to the toilet. In this case, you need to find the “pot” icon on the screen as quickly as possible and click on it. In this way he makes his need known, but we are sure that children do not do that. If you timely press the “potty” icon every time your Tamagotchi behaves this way, over time it will automatically “go potty” on its own, leaving you with a “clean” screen.

You need to check your Tamagotchi every 15 minutes or pause it (button A - pause, button B - unpause), until you have time to play further. Check the “hearts” (scale indicators), and if your Tamagotchi is not gaining much weight, you clean up after it, do not overfeed it and take care of it, then as a result you will grow up to be a cool character.

Your baby will fall asleep in 5 minutes after you provide him with all the necessary care. During or after sleep, he will become a child. This is also an interesting stage of the game. If babies need a lot of attention, then children need a little less, but, nevertheless, we must not lose vigilance!

Within two days, your baby will grow into a teenager. It will become even easier to care for him, but you will still have to pay attention to him and play with him too.

And finally, the teenager will become an adult! This stage of Tamagotchi development is the coolest, and since you have raised your pet for so long, it means that it is worthy of constant care even in “maturity.”

As your Tamagotchi grows up, it will want to have its own child (you have the option of allowing it to do so). When he is around 7 years old, “Marriage Broker” will appear on your screen. He or she will introduce you to a character of the opposite gender to your Tamagotchi and give you a couple of seconds to evaluate the candidate. Then “Like?” will appear on the screen, and you can choose between “Yes” and “No”. If you agree, fireworks will start on the screen, music will play, then a small beep will sound and your Tamagotchi will appear with an egg!

For 48 hours, your Tamagotchi and its baby will be with you, and then, while you and the baby are sleeping, the parent, that is, your Tamagotchi will disappear. In the morning, you will give the baby a name, and a new game will begin, with a new generation! If you click on the “status” button, scroll through the page, you will see the inscription “gender” and you can choose who your baby will be - a boy or a girl.


Tamagotchi toys appeared on the Russian market in 1996 and immediately gained enormous popularity. The girls really liked having a virtual pet that they needed to look after: feed it, play with it, clean up after it, etc. You could watch him grow, control his mood, teach him, etc.
