Santa Clara, CA (August 17, 2006) - Namco Bandai today announced
Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop 2 for the DS.
From Namco Bandai:
Based on the wildly popular Tamagotchi Connection virtual pet toy, aspiring
shop keepers can open a variety of stores in which they tend to their Tamagotchi
customers’ needs by successfully completing tasks in a variety of playful
mini-games. Mametchi, Memetchi, and Kuchipatchi return in this sequel to help
players create a shopping fantasyland populated by more than 100 different
humorously endearing Tamagotchi friends.
“The Tamagotchi franchise has yet another great DS title with its sequel to
Tamagotchi Connection,” said Naruo Uchida, Namco Bandai’s Senior Vice President.
“By utilizing the DS’s microphone and stylus functionality, a wide variety of
exciting new mini-games and old favorites will be available for players to
explore. Tamagotchi fans will also appreciate the new depth brought to the game
by the happiness rating system in 'Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop 2'.”
In "Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop 2", shop owners must keep their bizarrely
adorable Tamagotchi partners happy by earning “Gotchi points” through performing
mini-game tasks for the customers. Gotchi points can be used to clothe, feed,
and care for your Tamagotchi partners. As more points are collected, new types
of shops for players to open will become unlocked. Shops not seen in the
original such as the Bowling Alley and Sushi Bar will be available, as well as
upgrades to old favorites like the Concert Hall where players can sing along to
the music with the DS’ microphone. In "Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop 2",
catering to the needs of your customers will be essential in keeping the
Tamagotchi happy. The five different happiness levels will determine the
dialogue that occurs between the player and their Tamagotchi partner, and nobody
likes a grumpy Tamagotchi!
