Ahh, congrats on getting your Tamagotchi Connection in advance. I LOVE that shell! So nice to see it up close and from all the different angles. Can’t wait to eventually get mine 🥳
I’m so excited to see what the OG Tama Collector thinks of this version of the Connection!!! I’ve been loving your content lately and can’t wait for you to get one either!
I preordered the Rainbow connection can’t wait😭😭 congrats on getting it early you deserve it , you’re so kind and you’ve been so helpful in the tamagotchi community💕🎀
Congrats on getting this from Bandai! 😁 The retro shell is very nice. Im so excited to get this. Still a bit of waiting to go for the rest of us, but seems like it will be worth it 🎉
Yay, your video is here! I think just the packaging is soooo cute! The clear shell is really pretty and I am so happy Bandai noticed your channel. 🥰 Aw man I'm so looking forward to the Connection, the baby stage alone looks so inviting. I may get two because I don't have Tama friends irl. 🤭
Yes get two and let them connect together!! Even with a few Tama friends they aren't always available to connect when I want to haha so it's worth it to have 2!
Wow do happy for you getting it so early, you and Bandai in colaboration it means so much for this channel and the comunity you creating, can’t wait for the future and what will come🎉❤
As a spanish speaking person whose aunt imported one for both me and her REALLY young tamagotchi collector kid (less than a decade) i appreciate this video 😊
The way I ran to Amazon to pre order! I had so many of these as a kid and I was disappointed with the gen 1&2 rereleases because all I wanted was my connections back, and HERE THEY ARE!!!!
wooo so happy you got it early! i am preordering the bubbles! i really want the melon soda from japan but i am unsure if i should import it or if i should just hope they will bring it here in another wave ugh theyre so cute i'm so excited
I’m so glad I preordered this shell! ITS SO BEAUTIFUL 😍 AHHH it’s so clear and the colours are so bright and pretty! I’m so excited to get mine! 🥳 (and the ice cream shell too 🥳 🍦 💕)
It is really beautiful and I think it looks even better in person. I'm also loving the ice cream shell and basically everything that have made so far!!
Nice, the exact shell I preordered too! And my husband is getting the Rainbow one. I wish there were hard plastic shells like the Tamagotchi Originals had which I ordered a few for my Devilgotch & Angelgotch to protect the screen when I take them out and about. I’m not sure if any exist for the old Connections or for these new ones. I worry I’ll damage it but still just super excited to get mine when it releases!
Congrats that you got a package from Bandai and you got the coolest shell in my opinon. I'm just jealous that you get to experience it one month early... is it July yet! 😆😆
Preordered the rainbow shell immediately after seeing this,, can’t wait for the Keitai vote !! I hope it’s the strawbb milk shell but I’ll get whatever comes out of it tbh 💖
Would you say the screen graphics still look just as bright and clear as the original connections? I've seen a couple different videos of the re-releases now and it almost seems like the screen is darker/more shadowed/not as clear.. I've watched some videos of the original connections and you can so clearly see the graphics on the screen but all the re-release connection videos it seems like I have a harder time seeing the screen and I'm just afraid the graphics won't be as good. Comparable at least? So exciting though! I can't wait to get mine!
People have been really worried about the contrast, but I haven't any issues with it. Sometimes the glare gets to me, but I haven't had issue seeing the screen.
hi!! do you know if you’re able to change the contrast on the new v3? i remember i was able to lower mine on either my old v3 or v4, you do it by going to the clock screen and pressing button a and b together. please let us know if the new ones are capable of that as well!!
So cool! I’m glad you got it early. You mentioned keeping boxes. I keep mine too and i’m drowning in them lol. (Live in an apartment) Did you find a good way to store them?
My collection was way smaller when I lived in an apartment. I would suggest buying a house (ha! jk!) but seriously, I use my boxes as decorations. In the apartment I put them on weird window sills that were too high to do much with, or on mantles. Depends on how your apartment is set up. If you have a bookcase or shelving you can put the boxes there too :)
@@JillGrygas thank you, good idea. I really do need a bookcase kinda thing in my room. That really would help. Plus I do want to see my collection. Its mostly hidden away.
ty for the great reveiw! question, do you think the japanese connection rereleases will also let you choose between english and japanese? i love the shells they got in the japanese rerelease, i hope they also have an english option!
Yes! It's my understanding that all of the releases will have an option for English or Japanese. That'll be exciting to have the Japanese shells in English language!
It looks so nice. I've just pre-ordered the Tamagotchi Uni Monster Carnival on Amazon cause they are selling really fast... Btw, Boo is the name of the little girl from Monsters, Inc. You nailed it! 😂
Man the poor contrast on this really sucks, I hate the way you can see the darker square pixel screen in the very centre which you never could on the originals. It destroys any illusion that it's a "bigger screen". Dunno why for the rereleases Bandai seem to always prefer much poorer quality components...
@@UrbanismWorld To be fair I've never used a V5/V6, only up to v4/jinsei, so it may be better than those models. I also don't have one I'm just going off what I see in the video! Ratamazone posted a comparison and you can really see the difference with the old V3 there. I'm sure it'll still be useable...I just think it's a real shame
@@McPoogle don’t be sorry haha it’s definitely noticeable now. The contrast might not be so obvious in person though as on camera. I guess you’ll just have to tell me what you think when they come out!
Yes this is harder to raise compared to the Nanos. I see this as expanded gameplay from Gen 1 and Gen 2. There are a lot more games and things to do. It's very fun! I'll have a vlog up at some point going over the gameplay :D
@@JillGrygas Oh cool thanks! Yeah I started with the nano since that's all we have here, but I want the full hard more tamagochi lol. The connections seem better because there are more games, accessories and what not. I just don't want it to be easy more again.

Why do I have this idea that you maybe had something to do with me getting a connection early? 😅
I preordered the Rainbow connection can’t wait😭😭 congrats on getting it early you deserve it , you’re so kind and you’ve been so helpful in the tamagotchi community💕🎀
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Im really happy for you that you got the tamagotchi early from bandai, keep up the good work and the excitment!
Thank you so much!!! 😊
Congrats on getting this from Bandai! 😁 The retro shell is very nice. Im so excited to get this. Still a bit of waiting to go for the rest of us, but seems like it will be worth it 🎉
Thank you!!! After playing with this for about a week or so I can say it'll definitely be worth it!
Yay, your video is here! I think just the packaging is soooo cute! The clear shell is really pretty and I am so happy Bandai noticed your channel. 🥰 Aw man I'm so looking forward to the Connection, the baby stage alone looks so inviting. I may get two because I don't have Tama friends irl. 🤭

I can't stop smiling watching this video. I have the retro shell pre-ordered, it's so nicenomggg
I'm so glad I could make you smile!
Congratulations! I’m so happy for you 😊. Well deserved recognition from Bandai! Love the clear plastic retro aesthetic 😍.
Thank you!!! The clear plastic looks so good!
Thanks so much for this video! This is a great refresher since it's been years since I last had one 😂
You’re welcome!!
Wow do happy for you getting it so early, you and Bandai in colaboration it means so much for this channel and the comunity you creating, can’t wait for the future and what will come🎉❤

OMG congratulations! How exciting!! ☺️💖🙌 I absolutely love how this clear shell looks 🎉
Thank you! It looks better in person too!!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!! This is so satisfying. Congrats. Im going to wait to order from the Japan line!!!
Thank you! I don't blame you for waiting, those shells look SO GOOD.
As a spanish speaking person whose aunt imported one for both me and her REALLY young tamagotchi collector kid (less than a decade) i appreciate this video 😊
Hola! Gracias! I love hearing people of all ages are loving the connection rerelease!
@@JillGrygas 😁
The way I ran to Amazon to pre order! I had so many of these as a kid and I was disappointed with the gen 1&2 rereleases because all I wanted was my connections back, and HERE THEY ARE!!!!
They are finally here!!!
I loveee tamagotchis they are so nostalgic
They are!! 😁
How exciting and great video! I can’t wait to receive this shell
Thank you! You're going to love it!
Omg they sent you the best shell 😍
Can not wait to get this shell!!
I think it looks even better in person! You're going to really like it :D
wooo so happy you got it early! i am preordering the bubbles! i really want the melon soda from japan but i am unsure if i should import it or if i should just hope they will bring it here in another wave ugh theyre so cute i'm so excited
I too want the melon soda or the blue glitter one. They are all so pretty!!
I’m so glad I preordered this shell! ITS SO BEAUTIFUL 😍 AHHH it’s so clear and the colours are so bright and pretty! I’m so excited to get mine! 🥳 (and the ice cream shell too 🥳 🍦 💕)

I wish there was hard shells too I’ve already scratched up my new screen 😩
yaaay, i am so excited for you!
Thank you thank you thank you!
Oh, you got it early cause of official individuals reaching out? Lol, I thought you got it early by accident. Very cool; congrats!
Yeah I was shocked that the company working with Bandai reached out to me of all people! Thank you!
Congrats that you got a package from Bandai and you got the coolest shell in my opinon.
I'm just jealous that you get to experience it one month early... is it July yet! 😆😆
It'll be here soon! And I'll have a gameplay video out at some point before it does so people can see what it's like.
Love it! Great review
Preordered the rainbow shell immediately after seeing this,, can’t wait for the Keitai vote !! I hope it’s the strawbb milk shell but I’ll get whatever comes out of it tbh 💖
I think the strawberry milk won!
@@JillGrygas omg gonna preorder as soon as it’s available !!
I'm so happy for you !!!
Thank you!!
Yessssss my favorite shell so far for thr US versions! 😍😍😍 its so prettyyyyy!!
I'm obsessed with it!

I love the clear retro!
ME TOO!
@@JillGrygas It's cool that you got one early for reviews! I hope you get the time to really enjoy it!
Happy for you!! Hope you enjoy! I haven't played with connections either and I'm so excited!
It sure does say Bandai 2023!! They've been planning this for a while for us!!!

Yes! It's my understanding that all of the releases will have an option for English or Japanese. That'll be exciting to have the Japanese shells in English language!
This is definitely the best shell haha I'm sad because apparently in Europe (Spain) we won't have the launch until September-October :(
I heard, I am so sorry that Spain isn't getting them at the same time :(
So excited for you! I’m torn between the retro or the twin pack 😅
Get that twin pack if you want two to connect! I love the graffiti design.
@@JillGrygas you sold me on the retro shell! I’ll prob get the twin pack next 🥲
@@Kuromichi08 You can't go wrong with whatever you pick. I'm biased but I think the retro clear is the best :D
I’m exited for it to be localized
@@Odelayderado localized where??
@@JillGrygas Maple Syrup land
Do you know if we will be able to connect the old Connection tamagotchis to them ?
No we will not be able to 😞
Interesting how it says Bandai 2023 in the back 👀
omg i saw that to, very interesting...
Right?! It's like they have been planning this for a bit...
Omg my birthday October 28 so close to mine ❤
October birthdays are the best!
The screen quality looks much better than the English p1 and p2 rerelease. How does it look in person?
It looks really good! Seems a bit more susceptible to scratches though :(
It looks so nice. I've just pre-ordered the Tamagotchi Uni Monster Carnival on Amazon cause they are selling really fast...
Btw, Boo is the name of the little girl from Monsters, Inc. You nailed it! 😂
OMG it is her name! What a great movie. Also I'm obsessed with the Monster Uni. It might be my favorite theme of the three coming out.
I really really hope they rerelease Tamagotchi On or Tamagotchi Meets 😭😭😭 Please please convey this to Bandai 🙏🏼
You should keep the pre order and then connect them
I’m planning to save my money to order a Japan exclusive shell!
Nice china closet. I’m being silly now 😂😂😂
@@ashlee4512 😅😅😅
It looks Soooo good ❤
I'm super obsessed with it!
I WANT THE BUBBLE SHELL SO BAD 😫😭
The bubble shell looks really good too!
You have no idea what a big smile your videos bring to me ❤️❤️❤️
I am so glad I can make you smile! I always hope my videos bring people joy :)
You deserve it ❤
Thank you so much!!!

I'm sure it'll still be useable...I just think it's a real shame
Oh man I didn't notice until you pointed it out lol!!!
@@JillGrygas sorry I shouldn't have said anything!! But does that mean it maybe looks better in person?
@@McPoogle don’t be sorry haha it’s definitely noticeable now. The contrast might not be so obvious in person though as on camera. I guess you’ll just have to tell me what you think when they come out!
Cute cat
@@ashlee4512 they just love to run around in the background lol
I remember i saved all my money on eid bc i knew i would need it im oderibg the 2 packs and im so FRICKIN EXCITINED
ME TOO! the two pack version look SO CUTE!
Yessssssss 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
:D
Is the nickname for your name or the tamas name?
Nickname is your name, the "name" is for the Tamagotchi. I know that's confusing, I'm sorry!
❤❤❤
Will this be just as hard as the gen 1 and 2 or at least harder than the nanos? XD
If it's anything like the OG, def harder than nanos
@@zoruasnivy that's what I'm hoping for. I have the hello kitty nano as my first Tama (all I have in my country XD ) and it's a bit easy tbh. Lol
Yes this is harder to raise compared to the Nanos. I see this as expanded gameplay from Gen 1 and Gen 2. There are a lot more games and things to do. It's very fun! I'll have a vlog up at some point going over the gameplay :D

Ah I used to have one but I got kinda bored of it and wanted to live my own life it’s out of batteries
Which one did you have?
Pagal
How awesome!!! It’s super cute!! I love it! 😍 🎉💕
It's SO cute! Looks better in person too!!
@@JillGrygas I want!!! And will get lol Thanx for sharing all the info on it!!!! I absolutely love your videos 🥰🥰🥰
