Tamagotchi Paradise is a delightful reimagining of the classic virtual pet. You get to fill a planet with critters across three different habitats: land, sky and water, or land, forest and water depending on which color device you get. While you can only take care of one Tama character at a time, the pets you've previously raised will remain onscreen and get up to their own antics in the background.
The Paradise has a full color screen and a new zoom dial on the side that allows you to switch up the view. You can zoom out to see the whole planet (which you can decorate with cute accessories), or zoom in to see the Tamas in the field, up close and even examine their cells. As with most Tamagotchis, there are also mini-games and a shop built-in. Overall, it's a nice change from the norm for any longtime players looking for some newness, and a great place to start for beginners. Just be sure to buy some rechargeable AAA batteries to go with it. — Cheyenne MacDonald, Weekend Editor
