Tamagotchi Nano x Star Wars: R2-D2 Tamagotchi, Classic

Despite its small size, this little virtual pet game system is filled with fun! R2-D2 grows and changes based on how you take care of him. Not too much care is needed and taking care of R2 isn't annoying.The chirps, beeps, and whistles that R2 makes are cute but don't sound quite like the R2-D2 from the movies. The buttons are a little hard to press and the screen can be hard to see at times, but once you get the hang of the buttons and view the screen under a decent amount of light, it isn't too bad. The screen does NOT have its own backlight, meaning the screen itself does not light up, but as long as the screen is under enough light, the play experience can be enjoyable. This system cannot be turned off without removing the batteries, but you can mute it at any time by holding down the first and third button (buttons A and C) at the same time, which is quite nice to prevent random unwanted beeping from R2. The little game will sometimes surprise you with unexpected character appearances, which is fun. Great for kids, teens, and even adults! Can be enjoyed by men and women, boys and girls who love Star Wars and virtual pets. Wonderful gift!Thanks for reading. May God bless you. Jesus Christ loves you! You are precious and you matter! Have a great day.

He is my new son. And when the Jawas took him away I had to do it all again. My heart has been torn from my chest. I yearn for my R2 unit to return, but the new one will never be the same :,,,( I thoroughly enjoy this toy, the price is a tad steep when I consider the technology it must actually take to work, but I love the beeping sounds it makes, sounds like a gentle ringtone, and the minigames are kind of fun once you learn them. The Key Unlock minigame was the hardest I played and took about a dozen tries to finally get 5 in a row. Love this.

For the people that might be reading reviews about the tiny size, or if you should spend $20 on this thing, I got to clear this up the informative way!! I'm a virtual pets nerd, so read on! Also the picture is boring I took, but you can see it from an angle. R2 is currently sleeping as I write this review. Ok here we go!I got mine recently and opened it up today. Unfortunately there seems to be a little scratch on the screen which I guess I'll return this and get another one. So far, it's been day one, and as a fan of virtual pets, I think any Star wars dork, and person that just likes virtual pets would absolutely love this because they already know it is a tamagotchi nano version. They already know what they're getting into. Tamagotchi nano series has smaller buttons, lower frequency of care needed, an egg-shaped design, and it's just smaller in general. It seems that when tamagotchi merges with another big company they tend to do it with the nano devices. The regular tamagotchi is what people are used to. But when you look into it, the nano series is also its own thing entirely. Nintendo collaborated with Pikachu and Eevee, obviously Star wars, Pac-Man, and I'm sure there's like some Japanese one that I forgot. I hope it clears up any frustration from other reviewers that say this thing is too small. Tamagotchi just has a much more diverse ecosystem that you might have never known of. If you want to check it out, there's at least the tamagotchi mini, the tamagotchi nano, the regular tamagotchi, that most retro people will know. The nano series has a special place in most people's hearts that love virtual pets. Which if you are a dork like me, and you don't have the Pac-Man one, I HIGHLY recommend it. It was really fun! So far this R2 is worth $20 to me. The sounds are a big sell to me. The bleeps and bloops make it adorable. You just have to understand that there is a whole different series of various models of tamagotchi. If you think the nano is small, check out the mini series. Even smaller. And I love the mini. It's very simple. Think Ages 4-7? The nano is the in between series. 7-12. The regular tamagotchi is 13 and up to understand them. The newer ones with color screens and cameras are intense to say the least with what you can do. If you have a busy life as an adult and can't take care of the demands of a regular tamagotchi, have a kid who's like 6 and up, and / or obviously love the Star wars series, it will add a smile to your day, and that's what matters most to me. I hope that helps clear up confusion on size, expectation, and general feel for the software experience. 👍🏻

My son was so excited to get this but it is very small and the screen is tiny, much smaller than my daughters we got at Walmart. But it works great and he’s having fun with it!

Got this for my boyfriend and he absolutely loves it. The visitors are fun on it and the sounds and games are adorable. Easy to use and it's responsive as well.

The first time I walked into my boyfriend's office I realized I had a problem. Knowing he was a Star Wars fan, I thought he'd be easy to shop for. But alas, the day I witnessed his own personal Star Wars Museum, I knew he already had everything. Until I found this little guy. A trinket that he didn't know existed. And it scratches the nostalgia itch for him as well.The smile on his face to get a Star Wars gift that he didn't already have was the best feeling!

The media could not be loaded. As Star Wars fanatics, of course we had to grab this. And to be fair, it's absolutely adorable. It is small with a teeny screen, but it's supposed to be, for the type of Tamagotchi it is. On that note, compared even to a Tamagotchi original Gen 1 or 2, this has LIMITED play options and only lasts 3 days before he departs. My 6 year old enjoys it simply because it's R2, but if she didn't have 3 other Tamagotchi toys in play, she would be bored silly. You can play two very simple games, wipe him up, and charge his battery, but that's it. Even the final ending options 3 days later are fairly identical. Don't get it because you want a virtual pet, get it because it's R2 and super cute with authentic sound effects and (if you pay attention) lots of brief cameos of other Star Wars scenes and characters. Limited appeal, but as long as you are aware of that, it's a fun stocking stuffer for the Star Wars fan in your life. And yes, the foldout directions are terrible as other reviews have stated (I was convinced it was just "those other people," but I guess I am one of them too). I reluctantly cast my agreement on this point.

As a star wars fan just getting back into tomagotchis after 25 years of lapsing... I love this
