Celebrity Family Tamagotchi (V5.5)
Feb. 4th, 2015 04:54 pm
The V5.5 is the second edition of the Family Tamagotchi (V5). It consists of different characters and games that are "celebrity" (or "Royal" in Japan) themed. I personally really enjoy the games on this version because there is a Tennis game, and I love Tennis lol There isn't much to say about this version that hasn't been said about the V5 already, so I won't bother writing much else. The version I got is a very rare prototype that was meant to be blank so that actual celebrities could sign it, but it was never officially released by Bandai. I bought it from a seller on eBay, but I doubt they are selling anymore of them. It didn't come with a box since it's a prototype. The shell is a beautiful pearlescent white :) It is the equivalent of the Royal Familitchi (Japanse version).Here are some pictures of the one I have:
Price:
I got mine for about $45, but the price was fluctuating the last time I saw them for sale because the seller was doing auctions instead of "buy it now".
The Iro Iro Tamagotchi is the Japanese version of the Familitchi, also known as the v5 connection. I've been playing with this one for awhile and it is very similar to the American v5. They have the exact same characters, exact same animations, exact same items/foods, and exact same games. Usually Japanese are very different from American tamagotchis, but in this case they are VERY similar. The only real differences I know of is that the beeping noises are a bit softer, and there is not vacation pause feature. You have to pause like all the other Japanese Tamagotchis, simply by leaving the time in "SET" mode. The outer design is different in that the antenna has been replaced with a lock and key. This makes sense to me because it is a "keychain pet", after all. Some of the Japanese shell designs have also carried over to America which pleases me :) It also comes with a DVD, which I have not been able to figure out because everything is in Japanese and I simply don't have the motivation to look up instructions. Another feature I really love about the v5 and Iroiro is that they have contrast adjustment for the screen. Pretty cool!
This is by far one of the best Connection tamas ever! You get to raise 3 characters on one screen as a family! Hence the chimney because it's like they live in a little house under one roof ^_^ They have 4 different games. Two of which you can play on a regular basis. In order to unlock the other two games you must have a father and mother figure present. Your tamagotchis grow up together, and eventually form their own families. You get different families depending on how your characters bond with eachother. It's a little confusing at first, but there are plenty of forums online where you can find information on how to get certain families.
