Tamagotchi Connection V5: oh no, now the family's involved

Say it ain't so! As if keeping one Tamagotchi healthy wasn't tiresome enough, now Bandai is out to prove whether or not you could legitimately handle quadruplets. The Tamagotchi Connection V5 maintains the same addictiveness charm found in prior iterations, but also allows humans to focus on "raising multiple characters simultaneously." Supposedly, this will somehow enable kids (um, only kids?) to "experience family values," but we can't envision it doing much more than sucking away even more precious hours of our life. Ready to cave? If so, you can reportedly find these nationwide right now for $14.99, but the "refreshed" edition -- along with the Tamagotchi Pedometer, Tama-watchi, and redesigned Gotchi Gear lineup -- won't be landing until July.

@pdexter

The reply button seems to be busted too.

Maybe the Engadget team can take some time from their busy Apple praising/MS bashing routine to look into this?

@fred: reply button is busted for me too.

@Magallanes: Tamagotchi junkies don't give a fsck about B&W screens, they're occupied to not let their gotchis die.

The new V5 features never before seen characters with differing personalities. Based on how they are raised, they can grow up as an intellectual, artistic, cheerful or even laid back family.
