About Tamagotchi Connection:
Tamagotchi Connection is all about more friends and more fun! Tamagotchi Connection
lets kids experience the fun and responsibility of feeding, tending to and caring
for their digital pet. Owners can care for their Tamagotchi by selecting various
controls to feed it food or snacks, play games to keep it fit, clean up after
its messes, tend to its needs when it becomes sick and turn off the lights when
it's sleeping. The new, advanced Tamagotchi Connection features infrared technology
allowing the virtual pet to become friends with other Tamagotchi, visit its friends
to give gifts or play games, and eventually create new generations.
