~Tamagotchi News Links~


Note: I removed the links that don't work and am left with only a few. More news to be added in the near future.


Below are many articles about Tamagotchi and relation to. Most of which are older. It's really interesting reading these articles, it gives you an idea of what it was like when Tamagotchi first came out, how hard it was to find even one for retail price and getting your hands on one was a difficult task. They depict the history of Tamagotchi in the news and what it was like during the height of the Tamagotchi craze. Each of the articles are linked with the title mentioned, writer, company, and date published, along with my comments.

While I am still looking for more to add to this page, if you have any articles or know of any that I don't have here and would like to send them to me, that would be appreciated, especially older articles would be great. Thanks and enjoy!
