A third-person adventure game. In Tamagotchi Plaza our main objective is to serve the prince, taking care of stores and other places offering various services. We can participate in various mini-games, as well as complete quests for the residents of the charming town.
Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop was a game released in 2005, in which we could show off as caretakers of shops managed by the titular Tamagotchi. Over the years, this game has had two sequels, and in time - a successor in the form of the production described here. We're talking about Tamagotchi Plaza, an adventure game developed and released by Bandai Namco Entertainment.
In Tamagotchi Plaza we watch the action from a third-person perspective (TPP).
During the game, we take on the role of one of the titular creatures called Tamagotchi and we end up in Tamahiko Town on Tamagotchi Planet. Given that the town was nominated to host the festival, its prince appointed us to take care of the shops located in it and to make efforts to win.
We explore Tamagotchi Town and get to know its inhabitants, and above all - we visit local shops and places providing other services, which we need to take care of. The available shops include a dentist treating the teeth of residents, an optometrist selecting glasses for anyone in need, a tailor dressing creatures, or even Afternoon Tea, where anyone interested can get tableware.
Visiting each of these places means the possibility of playing a mini-game related to its activity. The game allows us to try our hand at things like treating cavities or sewing clothes. As progress is made, the reputation of individual places increases, allowing them to develop and gain access to increasingly diverse orders.
This is not the end, as individual Tamagotchi living in the city may ask us for help in solving their troubling problems or in searching for specific items.
We can play Tamagotchi Plaza alone or in local multiplayer mode. The game allows cooperation or competition with another person. Additionally, the game can connect with a compatible Tamagotchi Uni toy model, which gives us access to exclusive items and special effects.

Worth Playing: 5 / 10 by Cody Medellin
In the end, Tamagotchi World is fine, provided you're willing to live with a number of caveats. The premise is fine, as is the implementation of the jobs in minigame form. The lack of tutorials is odd considering the young age of the intended audience. Additionally, the slow, grindy nature of the game can only keep you occupied for so long before the whole thing becomes boring, especially since there's nothing else to do besides these minigame jobs. If you're a fan of Tamagotchis, then this may be amusing for a short while, but everyone else looking for a solid set of minigames would be better served playing a number of other similar titles from the original Switch library.

For fans of Tamagotchi or parents seeking a digital babysitter, this Nintendo Switch 2 release delivers ample charm and creative play. Tamagotchi Plaza Nintendo Switch 2 Edition excels in light entertainment and freeform exploration, despite some usability hiccups and a lack of deeper complexity. It’s particularly rewarding for younger players who enjoy interactive job simulations, memorable characters, and relaxed gameplay without penalty. A sleeper hit for its niche if you know what you’re getting into.
Checkpoint Gaming: 5 / 10 by Bree Maybe
Tamagotchi Plaza is a flat experience in a bright, colourful package. The minigames are fun for an hour or so, but take too long to add new mechanics, leaving the gameplay repetitive and unsatisfying. It's fun to see so many Tamagotchi characters walking around this world, but it would have been far more interesting if there was anything substantial for them to actually do.
