Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop

"Beautiful music, cute visuals, and a peculiarly charming attitude make you want to like it. Recognising that it's aimed at younger players makes you want to forgive it. But it cannot be denied that this is a big ol' mess of nice ideas executed badly, with the most important ingredient completely missing."

"Corner Shop is silly and fun in the beginning, but the gameplay quickly wears thin."

"Bandai made a quiet and quaint showing at Namco's party this evening. It wasn't surprising to see them there, as the two companies are currently in the middle of a merge. The company had on-hand the Japanese version of next year's goofy Nintendo DS release: Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop!. While the game has already been available overseas for about a month, it was nice to have the opportunity to have someone that spoke the language walk us through this goofy, crazy, and surprisingly fun product. "

"It's not a fun experience in gameplay, but it's certainly good for a smile or two in presentation. It's hard not to let the game's visual and audio appeal in through your gameplay-hating defenses."
