Tamagotchi Connection

Version 5 introduces a Dating Show game in which the user must play to gain a CPU partner.

The Tamagotchi Connection v2 introduces "Gotchi Points", an in-game currency used to buy shop items.

It has 6 stages of life: Aside from different games, The Tamagotchi Connection v3 makes few changes in comparison to the v2.

Also, the "Lamp" menu item (allows the user to turn the "light" on or off) is no longer present.

The player also chooses what job an adult Tamagotchi gets and will unlock mini-games based on this choice.

It also introduces characters being separated by groups (Mame, Meme, Kuchi and Universal) and genders.

The Connection v4.5 makes minimal changes to gameplay from the v4, short of adding new games; however, the way to obtain the Universal family is different.

It also included a TV option where the player can use Gotchi Points to shop on the Shopping Channel, find a mate with the Dating Show, or go travelling on the Travelling Show which replaces the pause function of previous generations.

Differences from previous versions: When raising a family without parents, only the TV Surfing and Tea Time games are available.
