Based on the popular Tamagotchi franchise, Tamagotchi: Party On! is a 3D party game which challenges you to become the most popular Tamagotchi on Tamagotchi Planet. You and up to three of your friends can join the campaign run to become the next president of Tamagotchi Planet.

Players will choose their favourite Tamagotchi and use the Wii Remote to swing, point, twist and turn as they turn the whole Planet into their playing board. Explore unique towns and fun locations within the Tamagotchi world and advance through the playing board as you meet exciting characters and experience fun events.

“Be happy! Be popular! Be president!”

Players can compete with up to three of their friends to become the president of Tamagotchi Planet. Up to four players can play with just one Wii Remote. Players can look forward to participating in more than 15 mini-games that will test their interactive skills. Players will earn popularity points and badges as rewards as well as Gotchi to level up their character and customize and decorate their campaign headquarters. As players upgrade their headquarter they should prepare to give their own Tamagotchi a new look!

Wacky but fun

“Tamagotchi Party On! is a seamless blend of both party game and board game as players swing, shake, and turn their Wii controllers in order to control their favorite Tamagotchi,” said Naruo Uchida, Namco Bandai Games America Inc.’s Vice President of Localization. “It’s the wackiest and cutest popularity contest ever as up-to-four players compete in fun mini-games to become the president of Tamagotchi planet.”

Mini-games to win popularity

Players need only swing the Wii Remote to turn the planet into their playing board. Players can choose their favourite virtual pet before they engage in a campaign to become the president of Tamagotchi planet. Players can earn popularity by going up against three friends, alternatively by playing alone in more than 15 mini-games, including shaking hands, finding lost children and putting their public speaking skills to the test. Players must swing, shake, turn, twist and point their Wii controllers if they are to succeed at the mini-games, thereby increasing their popularity.

Players can also use their earned Gotchi points to level up their characters and customise their campaign headquarters. Players can win over six different towns as well as popularity points in the mini-games to have fun in this politically charged but fun game.

Published by Namco Bandai Games and developed by h.a.n.d. Inc, Tamagotchi: Party On! is an easy to pick and play game because of the 3D board game style. It is due to be released on the Wii in quarter 2 this year.
