@@LostinTranslationmonit literally makes no sense to make the box bigger, because if they kept the box the same as the Japanese version they'll be able to ship more copies in the same amount of space which means lower export fees. I suspect it's so it takes up more space on a shelf in a shop.
I read something where the boxes are larger in other countries so it's harder to steal? i don't really believe it but just pointing it out 😅 the japan box is so nice and packed it should be universal.
I know I'm a little late, but I think the reason they do the packaging like that is, because Tamagotchis aren't that big of a deal outside of Japan and so they're trying to get kids' attention with big flashy packaging.. just my guess
I have people ask about my Vital Bracelet and now I'm glad I can give some more info regarding the Tamagotchi line to people who aren't into any of the VB IPs
There is no difference besides the packaging and instructions. Theres no need for it since the base unit has a language setting. Content, seasonal animations, everything is the same regardless if your country has that holiday or not. Although there is a small chunk of content depending on the region you select when starting the device. The only way to get the other region content is through marrage gifts, the tamaverse fashion, or by trading between 2 Unis. If you own 2 Unis you can keep doing a full reset and selecting different regions on one. Then buy the exclusive items to trade over. Only thing that can't be traded and is locked to that region setting is a room remodel. Theres no way to trade those between devices.
yea i hope they make the inventory size for accessories bigger too because i keep seeing cool ones in the tama fashion shop and i hate deleting some of the cool ones 😭 i want them all!! lol
I'm so pissed off that JYW removed Brazil from their shipping list... The Uni is so cheap there ($50), and the Smart as well ($30 !!!). I was planning on getting them both together, so I guess not anymore since Zenin is sold out. In Brazil the "OMG INTERNATIONAL RELEASE" is costing $125, it's a freaking joke.
Yeah I'm kind of tired of people calling Uni the international release when even in Europe it's only sold in a few select countries. I'm from Poland and I had to order it from Japan because the Amazon shipping fees from other European Amazon pages were weirdly expensive compared to the Japanese one and we will definitely never see it in stores.
I know, my brother brought uni in germany, they had it in muller for 50euros..he is coming tonight, i dont know if im gonna waith for chrismas next week 😊
Oh wait, if the new uni you just started doesn’t has the settings thing for sound and you don’t connect it to wifi, could it be that the games glitch isn’t fixed? So that you play a game, it says 300 points got but you got 600?
The American tamas are such a dumb design imo... I remember seeing the Pix packaging and thinking they'd send some sort of booklet or at least a lanyard inside that huge box, and there was nothing. Just terrible to the eye and to the sense (not to mention the environment).
The amount of waste in the international version is a lot but if you end up buying a Japanese version that has to get shipped to the US, you are wasting to a vastly larger amount
Should you buy the Uni or the Pix, or maybe the Smart? ua-cam.com/video/l8Qbf2tkoQs/v-deo.html
The amount of plastic waste in the international version is shocking.
I know right!!

dw we commit to reducing plastic waste, don't look at these ridiculously large packages, nothing to see here

Yep that's basically a summary of the video.
Also the passport
Hoping they make the region exclusive rooms available. Sucks that's the one thing that can't be traded or obtained.

Thanks for making these videos!
Glad you like them!
I am pretty sure they are identical hardware wise other than the package making more sense and the cool passport

Yes that's correct

I don't need this but these videos really make me want one. DX
The uni is really good and I'm really loving it, so I can really recommend it!
Are the images that one would paste on the passport the ones that we send to the phone and then print them from there?
You could do that but it's for the stickers from events in Japan
Tamapassport should be in boxex all the time. I love stickers 😢 anyway, im geting my Uni tonight!
Have fun!
Tamagotchi never really interested me the only one I got close to buying was the Kingdom Hearts one
Yep...🔍👀...I see the difference...🤷🏻💯✔️
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
