Tamagotchi Pac-Man

This year is the 40th anniversary of Pac-Man. He's already got his own special music video to celebrate the occasion and now to kick-off the year-long event, he's teamed up with Tamagotchi to bring "Tama-Lovers" a whole new virtual pet experience.

In addition to a Tamagotchi pet, this one also stars Pac-Man and includes some iconic features from the long-running game series. The device will go on pre-sale next month on 5th February and will appear in-store on 15th March. Like a regular Tamagotchi, it's perfect for on-the-go-entertainment and can easily fit into pockets or bags. There's also a wearable keychain.

Here's some more information about the Pac-Man version of Tamagotchi:

  • Raise and nurture your Tamagotchi character with the help of PAC-MAN
  • PAC-MAN will save your Tamagotchi character from the ghosts and bugs
  • Feed your Tamagotchi rice or PAC-MAN’s favorite, cherries
  • Raise your Tamagotchi character from egg to baby to adult
  • 7 adults included, which is determined by how you take care of your PAC-MAN Tamagotchi character
  • Two fun mini-games: play the Pac Game and the Catch Game!
  • Two different shell styles to choose from
  • Two PAC-MAN mazes to choose from; yellow and black
  • Age grade: 8+
  • Battery (LR44) included
  • No WiFi needed

If you missed it, earlier this month the Belgian fashion brand Kipling announced a new range of merchandise celebrating Pac-Man's 40th anniversary. The lineup includes both women’s and men’s accessories, with backpacks, suitcases, totes, waistpacks, pouches and more on offer.
