Review: my first coloured tamagotchi - I've been collecting a few Tamagotchi's and have a few running at the moment. I'm glad to pick this up at a great price, as the original RRP was too much for a toy. The Tamagotchi pix, is a coloured screen Tamagotchi with a camera built in. You can scan QR codes for items, food, accessories, cook food and more. The gameplay is great, different arcade games that rotate daily. Items the Tamagotchi can interact with, decorate your room and wear accessories. It does run on 2 AA batteries and I purchased additional ones that was recommended by the bandai official manual. They only last about 2-3 days, which is annoying when your out and about. There's no way to check the battery indicator until a warning pops up to change it. Pros babysitter option durable construction cons no battery indicator battery last around 2-3 days (should have been a rechargeable model) The battery camera is pixelated Review: Expensive for what it is - I bought this for my tamigotchi obsessed daughter and she absolutely loves it and is the one thing she plays with daily since Xmas. It's pretty and pink so very appealing and easy to use and she loves the fact that it's in colour and has so many newer options and games to the old tamigotchis. HOWEVER the battery life is awful! After 2-3 days it needs new batteries no matter what brand you purchase or how much you play with it. There is also no pause button so if you don't replace the batteries and cannot continue playing your character will die which is upsetting after all your child's hard work. There is also no off button to save batteries. Just a reset button. For the price of the toy (that in my opinion should be rechargeable) and the batteries you'll be replacing every few days it's extremely expensive and I wouldn't have bought it if I had known better. I did purchase on sale so in total probably have spent around £80 so far on the toy itself and the batteries. I would suggest looking into rechargeable batteries if you are considering to purchase. EDIT there is a "continue or start again" options if batteries run out. So you can still carry on your game play as long as you obsessively look after your old game to prevent your character dying. ## Features - Warning:Do not use with accessories other than those supplied or recommended by the manufacturer. - Warning:Not suitable for children under 6 years.

Was going to get him and his sister (5) one for Christmas so they can play with each other!** A: Hi, no it wouldn’t be too old for a 10year old but maybe for a five year old. However, I have read about other 5/6 year olds who have one and are fine. They both might need a bit help to start and reassurance that if it leaves to go back to its own planet not to be sad because it will send another egg and it will hatch into another Tama. There are groups on Facebook where you can get help and advice if needed. I love mine but then I am 65! I’m sure they will love them especially when they get the hang of it. **Q: What batteries do i use?** A: This Tamagotchi requires 2 AAA batteries (not included) **Q: Is there an option to change the language to Spanish?** A: Unfortunately this can not be changed. **Q: can this take rechargeable batteries? please someone help asp thanks** A: Yes! I use rechargeable batteries and it works fine ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ my first coloured tamagotchi *by L***L on 1 March 2025* I've been collecting a few Tamagotchi's and have a few running at the moment.

Previous versions are being sold for hundreds online so this is probably the cheapest you are going to find a coloured tamagotchi. The battery life is a downfall as its only going to last 2-4 days depending how much you use it but if you buy rechargeable batteries you solve the problem of spending a fortune replacing them every few days. So it's just a little annoying having to unscrew the battery compartment. This model takes AAAs so easy to get hold of unlike the old watch style batteries. So on to the gameplay... the idea of this one is to raise your tamagotchi, practice a profession when it's an adult then send it back to its home planet nice and trained. This means no gene mixing, no marrying and no babies. There's only around 25 adult tama characters you can Hatch and this is the biggest downfall for me as gene mixing is my favourite feature. There's a good selection of games to play with your tama and a good amount of unlockable items and backgrounds. Your tama will be relatively low maintenance after the baby stage (which is still minimal effort in comparison to older models). The lifespan of these is a lot shorter than the older versions. Baby will evolve within an hour or so, teen within 24hrs and adult within 48hrs. They will usually want to go back to their home planet after around 4 days but I beleive there is an option to keep them instead though. The camera feature is probably relatively fun for kids but as an adult I think it's kinda pointless. You take a selfie when you Hatch an egg but I don't beleive you ever see the selfie again and then the main function of the camera is to scan colours which you use to cook food and dye items/accessories. There is only a few colours you can get, grey, white, red, blue and yellow and I think that might be it. You can take your tama to 'explore' with the camera but again, this feels pointless and wastes precious battery life. Another downfall is the system itself scratches SUPER easily. I read reviews saying this before I purchased one myself but didn't quite realise how easy it is to scuff them. I have had mine a week and really looked after it, not played it more than a couple times a day and really never even touched the creen but I already have scuffs on the screen and front face (you can see this in picture 2) so I'd definitely opt for a screen protector. I have listed a fair few negatives but If you don't mind the lack of gene mixing or you're buying for a child, this is probably your best bet for a coloured tamagotchi as it's definitely the cheapest on the market despite its still hefty price. You can get these models second hand from marketplace brand new for half price so that's worth looking in to as well. The On, Meets, P's & Mixes are all loaded with more features than this but are a lot more expensive at the minute. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tamagotchi 42901 Bandai Pix The Next Generation of Virtual Reality Pet with Camera, Games and Collectable Characters-Floral, Pink - Meetikar Carrying Case and Silicone Cover Compatible with Tamagotchi Pix Virtual Pet Game Machine, (5-in-1) Silicone Cover for Tamagotchi Pix, with Finger Lanyard and Screen Protector (Pink) - Tamagotchi Pix - Sky (Purple) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/272328163-tamagotchi-42901-bandai-pix-the-next-generation-of-virtual-reality](https://www.desertcart.us/products/272328163-tamagotchi-42901-bandai-pix-the-next-generation-of-virtual-reality) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
