In Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop, players help primary characters like
Mametchi, Memetchi or Kuchipatchi set up a shop, with the ultimate goal of
creating a “royal” shop that is a favorite of Princess Tamako. Players can
select from a variety of different stores, including a bakery, beauty salon,
dental office, flower shop and more. Once the shop is open, players will help
their customers by completing mini games with the Nintendo DS stylus. Players
apply makeup, treat cavities and decorate cakes to earn “Gotchi” points, the
Tamagotchi money unit, and progress towards “royal” shop status. Shop interiors
can be customized and cute Tamagotchi characters will make appearances
throughout the game.

Fans of the egg-shaped toy that simulates the life cycle of a real pet can
currently purchase the new Tamagotchi Connection Version 2. The toy allows
tweens and teens to collect “Gotchi” points, which can be used to shop for
treats and toys, and to use secret codes to unlock special shopping areas not
available anywhere else in the programming. In addition, wireless technology
allows Tamagotchi owners to “connect” with others, allowing their pets to become
friends, trade gifts and mate to create future generations.
