Bicky's Bests - Tamagotchi Angel: Nova Dream Review: The *~Most~* Heavenly Handheld You NEVER Knew Existed!!! ๐ผ๐
๐ BICKY'S BESTS ๐
*~Highlighting my favorite things, one post at a time~* โจ
OMG BESTIES, GUESS WHAT I JUST DUG UP FROM THE EARLY 2000S?! ๐ผ๐
I was *literally* scrolling through some *super* obscure Japanese auction sites (because *obviously* that's what I do for fun ๐) and I *stumbled* upon the *most* angelic little device EVER โ the **Tamagotchi Angel: Nova Dream**!!! ๐โจ And besties, it is *EVERYTHING*!!!
*Look at this *~little angel~* in all its glory!!!* ๐๐
*That *~angelic~* energy though!!! โจ๐ผ*
*That *~color screen~* though!!! ๐๐ *
๐ผ WHAT EVEN *IS* THE TAMAGOTCHI ANGEL: NOVA DREAM?! ๐ผ
Okay, so like, the **Tamagotchi Angel** was this *super* rare spin-off of the *classic* Tamagotchi that came out in *1997* (yes, the *same year* as *NSYNC's debut album* โ *coincidence*? I THINK NOT!!! ๐ค) and it was *only* released in Japan!!! ๐ฏ๐ตโจ
Instead of raising a *regular* digital pet, you got to raise a *LITERAL ANGEL*!!! ๐ And the **Nova Dream** version?! It was the *fanciest* one of them all โ it had a *COLOR SCREEN* (yes, *COLOR* in 1997, *iconic*!!! ๐), *more games*, and the *sweetest* little animations that would make your *heart explode*!!! ๐
Like, imagine this: your tiny angel would *fly* around the screen, *play* little games with you, and even *go to sleep* under a *tiny* blanket!!! ๐๏ธ๐ค And if you took *good* care of it, it would *evolve* into the *most* beautiful angel *ever*!!! But if you *neglected* it... well, let's just say it would *not* be happy, and *neither* would you!!! ๐ญ
๐ THE *~UPGRADE~* THAT MADE IT *EXTRA* ๐
Okay, besties, the *Nova Dream* wasn't just *any* Tamagotchi Angel โ it was the *deluxe* version!!! ๐ It had *TWO* different *color* screens (like, *pink* and *blue* โ *so* aesthetic!!! ๐), *more* characters to unlock, and *way* more activities to keep your angel *happy* and *healthy*!!! ๐ฎ
And *plot twist* โ it even had a *~secret~* feature where your angel could *visit* other angels if you had a *friend* with a Nova Dream too!!! ๐ฏโโ๏ธโจ Like, it was *literally* the *social* experience of the early 2000s, but *way* cuter!!! ๐
๐ THE *~TRAGIC~* TALE OF A TAMAGOTCHI ALMOST LOST ๐
Okay, besties, *buckle up* because this part is *heartbreaking*!!! ๐ญ The Tamagotchi Angel: Nova Dream was *this close* to being *lost* to time!!! It was *only* sold in Japan, and *hardly anyone* outside of the country even *knew* it existed!!! ๐ฏ๐ต
And *worse* โ because it was *so* rare, the *batteries* in most of them are *long dead*, and *good luck* finding a replacement that *actually* works!!! ๐๐ Like, it's *literally* a race against time to *preserve* these *tiny* pieces of history!!! ๐๏ธ
But *THANKFULLY*, there are *legends* out there who are *dedicated* to keeping these *adorable* little devices alive!!! So *shoutout* to all the Tamagotchi collectors and *preservationists* โ you are the *real* MVPs!!! ๐๐
โจ WHY YOU *NEED* TO FIND ONE OF THESE โจ
- It's *~LITERALLY~* a piece of early 2000s *heaven*!!! Like, *peak* Y2K energy with *angels*!!! ๐ฐ๏ธโจ
- You get to raise a *LITERAL ANGEL*!!! And it's *way* cuter than a regular Tamagotchi, *no cap*!!! ๐๐
- It's *~SO~* obscure, you'll feel like a *true* collector!!! Like, *flex* on your friends with this *rare* gem!!! ๐๐
- It has a *COLOR SCREEN*!!! In *1997*!!! That's *groundbreaking*, bestie!!! ๐๐ฑ
- It's *~ADORABLE~* and *~DRAMATIC~* all at once!!! Like, *me* in handheld form!!! ๐๐ค
"The Tamagotchi Angel: Nova Dream is like if *NSYNC* made a handheld game, but *weirder* and with *more angels*!!! ๐ค๐ผ"
๐ FINAL VERDICT: 11/10, WOULD *~STAN~* FOREVER AND EVER!!! ๐
The Tamagotchi Angel: Nova Dream is *literally* the *most* underrated handheld *ever*!!! It's *weird*, it's *wacky*, it's *wonderful*, and it's *100%* worth hunting down!!! ๐ฎ๐โจ
So *go* find one, besties!!! And when you do, *remember* โ this tiny device is a *piece of history* that *almost* didn't survive!!! And *obviously*, it's *way* cuter than your phone!!! ๐ฑ๐
*Drops mic, but it's bedazzled with tiny angel wings so it doesn't break* ๐ค๐ผ๐
