Amid a recent whirlwind of nostalgia, I found myself the proud owner of a Tamagotchi Pix — which, until a few weeks ago, was the latest model from the Japanese toy company, Bandai, that fueled the virtual pet craze of the late ‘90s.
If you’ve ever owned a Tamagotchi, you know what this entails — a lot of feeding, socializing with, and cleaning up after your digital pet. But the Pix offers new modes of interaction. With a color screen and a built-in camera, it’s a huge upgrade to its pixelated predecessors.
