Bandai sent us two of their Wave 3 Bandai Digimon devices to try out and review. Opinions are or own.
Do you remember the Tamagotchi craze from the 90’s where you had this little Tamagotchi pet in a pocket device. Well, imagine that you now raise that pet to battle other pets. But the pets are Digimon that are little monster that you raise, care for and set out to battle other Digimon. Well, that is what Bandai Digimon are all about. You raise your Digimon from an egg to a child to a full blown Digimon monster. You feed it, train it, clean up after it and then battle other Digimon with it.
Not only can you battle random Digimon that show up on your device but you can also link two devices together and battle your friends. This unique toy can be clipped to a backpack so that you are always ready to battle your friends. You can even turn the sound off so as not to get in trouble at school with all the beeps and chirps that come from the device alerting you to the needs of your Digimon like food and medical attention.
We’ve had the devices for a few weeks now and Andy and I have both been raising Digimon. Andy has found that he’s not that good at raising Digimon because he constantly is having them die on him. He forgets about them and does not train or feed them often enough. Mine seem to fare a little better. I’ve kept after mine and made sure that they were feed and cleaned up after and I even battled a few times and won.
This is a fun little toy and would be even more fun if we battled more often with other people. The device can link up with another device so that I could battle Andy’s Digimon and he battle mine. Then we’d see who was the best trainer around.
there are a bunch of new Bandai Digimon units available in Wave 3 including a Glow-in-the-Dark one!
