The Tamagotchi Returns

If you know us at all, our obsession with all things’90s shouldn’t come as a shocker (recent proof: our debate over Troll Doll earrings, our love of Babysitter’s Club fashion, and, everything relating to Full House…duh).
But when it comes to the Tamagotchi making a comeback? Now that’s just crazy talk.
According to NPR, the weird electronic mousey pet is indeed resurfacing, only this time the already virtual pet is getting even more virtualized: It’s now an app.
Aside from now being in color, the app is pretty much exactly like it was back when it hung from a zipper on your Kipling backpack. It still needs food, it’s still annoying, and it still dies. But it’s also still kind of amazing. Get it here! –ALI HOFFMAN

You do realize that everything you wrote in the brackets is actually from the ’80s and not the ’90s?
