WHY WE LOVE IT

This Nano puts a sweet Sanrio spin on the classic Tamagotchi formula without changing what young gamers love most about caring for a virtual pet. Pompompurin’s appearances, gifts, and animations add extra personality to everyday gameplay. Plus, the three mini games provide fun breaks from pet care. The collectible shell designs and multiple possible character outcomes encourage repeat play for longtime Tamagotchi and Sanrio fans alike.

Familiar characters are a great way to introduce kids to tech, and the small size aids in the strengthening of fine motor skills.
