Tamagotchi Plaza, a delightful shop simulation game, is set to bring both new and returning Tamagotchi characters to the Nintendo Switch on June 27, 2025. Fans of these charming digital pets can look forward to managing 12 unique shops throughout the bustling streets of Tamahiko Town. Expect your entrepreneurial skills to be put to the test with a vibrant array of mini-games. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to meet more than 100 different Tamagotchi characters.
In an exciting twist, some shops introduce two-player co-op mini-games, perfect for teaming up with a friend. Plus, if you link the game with Tamagotchi Uni, you’ll unlock some exclusive items, adding a little something extra for collectors out there.
Bandai Namco Entertainment has just announced Tamagotchi Plaza, breathing new life into the beloved Tamagotchi series. This shop simulation title returns to a concept first explored back in 2006 with Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop for the Nintendo DS. Though it’s been quite a wait since the last installment in 2008, fans were thrilled to hear about its revival during the recent Nintendo Direct on March 27.
In the latest entry of the series, you’ll step into the role of a shopkeeper in Tamahiko Town, right in time for the anticipated Tamagotchi Fest. Your mission? Assist Prince Tamahiko in reviving the town by crafting thriving shops. From dental clinics to eyewear boutiques, the town offers 12 varied shops to manage, each featuring its own unique and calming mini-games. Gathering satisfied customers is key to upgrading your businesses and engaging with a lively cast of Tamagotchi, including beloved figures like Mametchi, Kuchipatchi, and Memetchi—plus a brand new character that’s exclusive to this game. Mark your calendars for June 27, 2025, and get ready to add another cozy Nintendo Switch game to your collection.
The multiplayer aspect of Tamagotchi Plaza invites players to jump into offline two-player co-op mini-games, perfect for some friendly competition or collaboration. Developers have teased the game’s linking function with Tamagotchi Uni, a recent toy model in circulation, which promises to unlock special items and events within the game, although Tamagotchi Uni’s availability isn’t worldwide just yet. Interestingly, this isn’t the only surprise comeback for Nintendo fans; Tomodachi Life is also scheduled to hit the Switch, albeit in 2026.
March 27’s Nintendo Direct was a treasure trove of exciting announcements, showcasing several game trailers. In a surprise move, three games launched for the Nintendo Switch that very day, including Disney Villains Cursed Cafe. With more news on Tamagotchi Plaza expected in the coming months, there’s much for fans to look forward to as they prepare their return to the delightful world of Tamagotchi.
