If you're part of the social-losing generation to get your face stuck in an electronic gadget that takes you off your chores (I'm not talking about today), you might be happy - or worried - about the return of the famous "virtual pets" ”The Tamagotchis! According to ShortList, Bandai has relaunched the small toy in Japan in a slightly different model from the original (smaller size) and it is making a big hit.

Despite being from a new generation, everything you knew in the first version of Tamagotchi is there: the six types of pets that can be bred, all hungry and in need of care and attention not to die because of their neglect.

If you have no idea what virtual pets are all about, they are little keychain-sized electronic gadgets where you took care of a small creature made of black pixels that pooped more than anything else. If you are in your thirties or so, you should remember very well this fever that has spread from Japan all over the world.
