DigimonBandai Original Digivice Virtual Pet Monster - Blue

Never had one of these when I was a kid and only had a Tamagotchi, so that's the closest thing I can compare this to (they're both from the same company so they're fairly similar).First off, the dimensions listed here are entirely wrong, or rather they are the dimensions of the packaging and not the digivice itself which is much smaller. Not that I thought the digivice would be 7 inches tall and 5.5 inches long, I just thought it was weird seeing those numbers listed. The digivice itself is not much larger than an original Tamagotchi, just a little thicker and a rectangle shape instead of a rounded egg shape.The game plays pretty similarly to that of Tamagotchi in that they share a lot of the same features just this one focuses more on training your monster to battle than just simply feeding it and keeping it happy/disciplined to keep it alive. You can also raise 2 monsters at the same time on a single digivice.Something odd I noticed was that the digivice is a bit quiet when compared to Tamagotchi as the beeps are not as loud as those. The screen also turns off after a bit when left alone to save power, but was a bit jarring as I'm used to always seeing my little creature moving around on the screen. It turns back on at a press of a button or when your monster needs some care though, so don't worry that the battery may have died. Speaking of, there is a dedicated low battery screen that shows when it's time to get a new one.I only got the one digivice so I'm not able to connect it to others personally, but according to the instruction manual this version is compatable with the following: Digital Monster DigiVice (1997), DigiVice Ver.15th (2015), D-3 DigiVice Ver.15th (2016), and Digital Monster Ver.20th DigiVice (2017 Japan, 2019 other markets). It's nice that these are backwards compatable unlike the recent re-release of Tamagotchi Connection which can only communicate with the re-release versions.Unlike Tamagotchi, this has the option to wake up a sleeping monster for 15 minutes to take care of it like cleaning poop or feeding before it goes back to sleep. You can also have your monster take a 3 hour nap during the day as a sort of pause function which is nice, though doing so makes them evolve slower according to the manual. There doesn't seem to be an official way to pause the digivice like some Tamagotchi have and the trick to leave it on the clock set screen doesn't work as it will eventually set itself and go back to the main screen making time pass. Your best options are to make your monsters take a nap for the limited 3 hours, or set the clock to their bedtime and make them sleep for their 8-10 that they do that varies by their life stage.Overall I would recommend this if you're looking to get a virtual pet that is a bit more involved than a Tamagotchi. The price on this was also pretty decent given that it does more than Tamagotchi and spare batteries can be found cheap here on Amazon.

This is a newer "20th Anniversary" edition of the original Digivice which has some differences.-You can select all the different eggs on a single device which used to be exclusive to the different versions.-The stages are much faster now with evolutions happening in hours instead of days.-The training minigame has changed and now requires you to mash buttons to power up.-You can now raise 2 digimon at once in case you get bored waiting on the first one.-You can now battle by yourself against waves of npc digimon and yes this counts towards your wins.-And perhaps the best thing of all is you don't lose your digimon when the battery dies, it saves to internal memory which you can later reload after you change the batteries.It's a great quality of life update to the original digivice but it's not the same one for those who just want to relive the nostalgia.

Es un excelente producto, aunque es barato (comparado con sus contrapartes japoneses) trae cargado la versión de 20 aniversario! Llego en perfectas condiciones! Excelente producto.
