Tamagotchi Connection / Connexion / Plus Questions and Answers

Definitely marketed as a small nostalgic feel. The controls are simple and basic, most of your activities are basic care and food. When they are unhappy, you feed them candy, when they are hungry you feed them until they shake their head. Then they sleep. The picture compares with a Tamagotchi Connection V3. Obviously the Tamagotchi could refuse to sleep if it was already rested enough- otherwise it would become like a cheaty pause alternative. Or that could be another way to discipline your Tama- if it refuses to sleep even when it's tired. Like kids do.

Q. When can my Tamagotchi have Tamababies?
A. Your Tamagotchi will know when it's time, you don't have to do anything special. Of course if you want your Tamagotchi to have Tamababies with another Tama via connecting, you'll need to connect them often. Your Tamagotchi is ready to have Tamababies:

1. When your Tamagotchi is an adult character.
2. When you have 5 hearts with a connected Tamagotchi (both have to be adults).
3. Or when the Matchmaker comes to find your Tamagotchi a mate.

A. Absolutely not! If you don't want to buy a second Tamagotchi Connection and you don't know anyone with a Connection, you can simply keep raising your Tamagotchi and Mrs. Busybody will always find someone for your Tamagotchi to help keep the generations going.

Q. Who runs this website at mimitchi.com?
A. This website, mimitchi.com, is run by a single individual, not a corporation or company of any sort.

My name is Kat. I have been building and maintaining mimitchi.com since 1996. Mystic Fortress has gone through many global changes throughout the years, including having various URLs and site names. I create and maintain the materials on this website in my free time. Delays in updates are caused by my full time job and pure laziness. I'm an adult (so they tell me) but a child at heart. I enjoy collecting the various things you see on mimitchi.com as well as several other things.

I live in California with my hubby-to-be Brendan. Brendan has made several contributions to the site throughout the years, specifically art and flash games. Brendan has done a ton of work on the Connection section and also helps moderate the Tamagotchi Forums.
