Tamagotchi Narikiri Channel toy, included with Happy Sets at Japanese McDonalds locations from November 6 through 26, to promote the DS game out November 5.
I know absolutely nothing about the recent Tamagotchi games except that some of them were made by Nana-On-Sha and none of them are supposed to be any good — but even so, I totally want one of these adorable things. How can I resist that… character riding in a very happy thing that looks like a tape dispenser?
If they had been offering these when I was in Tokyo, I probably would have ordered a Happy Set, subjecting myself to even more humiliation than I already was. Why was I humiliated in McDonalds? Well, as a white dude with glasses and a poor command of the Japanese language, I was painfully aware that my presence in the restaurant invited comparison to Mr. James.

Keeping with the domain name’s promise, site owner and Barcelona-based chiptune artist Drop1410 examines Game Boy cartridge rarities and curiosities, like this extra long Tamagotchi V3. Osuchi & Metsuchi cart:
I suspect Bandai used a taller cart to fit in an extra battery for the real-time clock and to make room for the on/off sound switch on the side. It’s a very odd item!
The articles feature excellent photos of the subjects and background information on their significance. The write-up on the Japanese Nintendo Power flashcart, for example, is very enlightening — I had no idea it even existed.
I also like that Drop1410 prizes some carts just for having an ivory shell, the perfect companion for a beautiful White Game Boy handheld (not that there’s anything wrong with mixed cart/system relations).
It would be great if Drop1410 created a mascot for his new site; that way, we could claim him or her as yet another distant branch on Tiny’s growing family tree.
