Not all objects leave us forever, because it is not in vain that they say that everything new is a well-forgotten old. But forgetting your favorite things is not at all necessary, especially since their modern counterparts are now available.
website found for you a few examples of how nostalgia visits not only ordinary users, but also developers.
Tamagotchi
This virtual pet was created 21 years ago in Japan, so there is nothing surprising in the fact that he experienced his second birth there. Compared to the 1996 version, the modern Tamagotchi has been slightly reduced in size and has gained new features. The toy has a color display, and it can also be paused, so you can no longer be afraid of the “death” of the ward due to the fact that they forgot to feed him at three in the morning. The new Tamagotchi is currently only sold in Japanese stores, but it can also be purchased online without any problems.
Instant camera
While you don't have to wait hours (or even days) for your photos to be printed these days, instant cameras are still popular. The principle of operation of modern cameras has remained the same, but they are compact in size and have new features, which is especially pleasing to selfie lovers.
Nokia 3310
The famous "indestructible" Nokia has a modern version: it is equipped with a modest 2-megapixel camera, an MP3 player and a slot for a memory card. Apparently, the manufacturer is counting on the fact that users will buy the phone mainly because of a sense of nostalgia and an attractive price - only € 49.
NES game console
The eight-bit Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) game console was very popular in the second half of the 1980s and early 1990s. In Russia, she is known as Dendy. Over time, the NES gave way to more advanced consoles, but in 2016 it was re-released. The updated version does not require cartridges, it already has 30 games built in: Pac-Man, Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Ice Climber and others.
Cassette player
Such a player can be bought even now, but over time it will turn into a real rarity, because most companies have officially stopped the production of such devices and the cassettes themselves. They are produced in small batches, mainly in China, especially for connoisseurs of retro. But there is also a more modern version, which will appeal to those who miss the past. This MP3 player looks almost exactly like a real cassette player, but unlike its "big brother", it certainly won't be obsolete anytime soon.
portable console
Nowadays, there is no need to buy a portable gaming device, because you can simply install the game on your smartphone or tablet. But the good old Game Boy is still available today. Moreover, there is also a rather unexpected version of it - in the form of a mug with a display that turns on as soon as a hot drink is poured into the mug (batteries are not required for operation). Unfortunately, you will not be able to play while drinking coffee or tea - the display performs an exclusively decorative function. But such a gift will surely be appreciated by all lovers of retro gadgets.
multicolor pen
Of course, several colors of ink pens still exist today. But progress does not stand still, and now you can buy a pen not with 5-8 colors, but with 16 million colors in a compact body. This was made possible thanks to a special technology that allows you to scan any object you like, and then mix the ink to get the desired color. You do not need to do anything - the smart pen will do everything by itself, all that remains is to use it for its intended purpose and replace the ink cartridge in time.
The Japanese company Bandai Namco officially announced: in honor of the 20th anniversary of the Tamagotchi, the legendary toys back on the shelves.
The new Tamagotchi will be twice as compact as the original, but will retain the black and white screen and six characters, one of which must be chosen as a pet.
The price of the reborn gadget will be 1800 yen - approximately $ 17 or 950 rubles. Quite adequate, given that we are talking about a real Japanese Tamagotchi.
By the way, Bandai Namco has already confirmed that the new product will be released not only at home, but also in other countries, including Russia.
I was born in the mid-nineties, but I still remember very well how we were fans of Tamagotchi in elementary school. It was a phenomenon incomparable even with the popularity of pocket Tetris.
Tetris was used like this: got it, turned it on, played it, got tired, cut it out, forgot.
About Tamagotchi never forgot. He lived all the time, and you could just look at his screen, making sure that everything was in order with the precious pet.
This toy cost around 100 rubles, but brought an ocean of joy. Feed, treat, play, reproduce offspring - Tamagotchi taught only good things. The essence of the game is to carefully raise an electronic animal, and not finish off a dozen faceless monsters.
The death of a Tamagotchi has always been a tragedy, but the gadget itself did not die - you could start all over again, promising yourself to take a closer look at your pet this time.
I had two Tamagotchis: one was defective (contact went off, and everything rebooted by itself), one was normal (life record - 8 days).
The last time I got a virtual pet was 15 years ago, but the news about the return of the Tamagotchi made me terribly happy.
Firstly, this is a wonderful gift that will suit both very small children (those who do not yet have a smartphone) and adults (purely nostalgic). 1000 rubles is a ridiculous price tag for entertainment that plunges you into childhood.
Secondly, in Russia and now you can buy Tamagotchi, but they are all made in China and work somehow. The original should be with three buttons and six characters - this is important.
In general, I'm ready to pre-order and attach a Tamagotchi instead of a keychain.
He may die a lot, but I will really try to beat my achievement from the beginning of the 2000s and last at least 10 days.
Did you have a Tamagotchi? Do you think 950 rubles is a normal price? Would you buy this toy in 2017?
P.S. I know that Tamagotchi is also available as an application for smartphones and tablets. But this is too boring - the Tamagotchi should be a separate tangible creature in its own body.
Rate.
Probably many of us who grew up in the 90s kept our pet Tamagotchi. And I had one, and not one.
It was necessary to take care of an electronic friend: feed him, play with him, treat him if he got sick, clean up after him, bathe him... And of course, do not leave him unattended for a long time, because the pet could get sick and die.
And now, after 20 years, an updated version of the famous Tamagotchi came out! The manufacturer of the toy is still the same company Bandai. Not only my daughter, but I enthusiastically undertook to raise our little friend.
From the manufacturer
The electronic toy "Tamagotchi Friends: Amethyst" is a new version of the legendary toy. Bright design, new games and accessories, and most importantly - an innovative one-touch data transfer system: now you can send short messages to each other, exchange items, visit each other. A modernized game that teaches care and responsibility. New heroes - 24 different heroes with individual development. Choice - you yourself choose the egg that will be your pupil. New games (three starting and two will be unlocked) upon reaching a certain level. New items - new food, snacks. New accessories - 60 items for the collection, which can be won by playing games, bought in the store or exchanged with friends. New places - walk your Tamagotchi in the park, go on a date. And of course, feeding, cleaning, games, education. New NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. Innovative one-touch data transmission system - Bump (Be friends). Be friends to exchange - items or accessories with friends. Be friends to visit - your hero visits your friend's device. Make friends to find out how strong your friendship is - with the "Friends" BFF Bump (“Best Friends Forever”) feature, show how much you love your friends! Be friends to increase the level of "friend meter" - each time you use the "Friends" feature, you gain friend points! Be friends for communication - send small messages. Be friends and create communities - all the heroes you've been friends with will be reflected in the device's memory. You can marry your hero to one of them. It is necessary to purchase 2 batteries with a voltage of 1.5V type "AAA" (not included).
Disappointment befell us immediately - very low screen contrast.(batteries not included, by the way). The contrast can be increased, but in spite of this, it is still very poorly visible. It is difficult to figure out where the Tamagotchi itself is and where the interior items are. There is no screen backlight.
What new did the Tamagotchi manufacturer come up with for us?
٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ design cute. The new toy is slightly larger than the old one;
٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ the ability to choose a pet (although it was possible to choose before);
٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ new Tamagotchi Russified. He says he's hungry. All items, food are signed;
٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ there was an opportunity to go to the store and buy food and decorations for the pet. Due to this, the personal account increases. Money can be earned while playing.
٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ from Tamagotchi you can go to the park and ride the swings.
٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ when Tamagotchi is about a week old, he has the opportunity to go on a date. Then, as in life, he marries and has a baby. The game eventually goes round and round.
٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ There are only three games and they are quite elementary and not interesting. Over time, two more games appear.
٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ and the most important difference is the possibility of friendship between Tamagotchi. You can exchange items, visit a friend, write short messages, etc. But since our friends do not have Tamagotchi, we do not use this function.
٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ Tamagotchi is not as "demanding" as before. If you forget it even for a whole day, nothing will happen. The pet will not die.
************************************************************************************************************************
As you can see, there are few differences between the old version. It seems to me that in the age of the latest technology, one could come up with something more interesting. At least make the screen color. And pet movements are smoother.
Such a Tamagotchi was interesting to children 20 years ago, but now it is simply not relevant.
Daughter liked the toy at first, but interest quickly faded. Tamagotchi grows alone.
There is a toy in the network of stores "Children's World" 1300 rub. This money, and even a third of this price, Tamagotchi is not worth it.
I put 3 points only for the feeling of nostalgia.
Thank you very much for your attention!
Everything new is well forgotten old. At least, this is the opinion of the leadership of the Japanese company Bandai, whose fame in the 90s was brought by the Tamagotchi mini-prefix. Despite today's abundance of high-tech mobile gadgets, it is unlikely that you will be able to find a former Tamagotchi owner who would remember this key fob without tenderness. For many, the creation of Bandai is still associated with fun hours spent caring for and caring for an outlandish, but at the same time so cute digital pet.
In the meantime, Bandai has repeatedly resorted to attempts to resurrect the cult product. So the Tamagotchi iD and Tamagotchi P’s key rings saw the light, but the modernized novelties lacked the spirit of authenticity of the original version. Now, you no longer have to be nostalgic about the old days and the old Tamagotchi.
Bandai, in honor of the 20th anniversary, took up the re-release of the legendary keychain while maintaining its original functional features. A virtual pet inside the Tamagotchi will still require its owner to regularly perform meaningless tasks that can captivate the user for a long time, even despite their primitivism.
True, unlike the original version of the Tamagotchi, the novelty will be almost half the size of the device from the 90s. In addition, the updated version of the key fob received instead of a rectangular screen a square LCD display without auxiliary lines-pointers.
But the Tamagotchi sample of 2017 has not changed in the software part. The list of available characters will be identical to the original set of pets. The process of game interaction with them is implemented in a similar way.
