Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop, known in Japan as Tamagotchi's Little Shops-tchi (たまごっちのプチプチおみせっち Tamagotchi no Puchi Puchi Omisetchi), and in Europe as Tamagotchi Connexion: Corner Shop, is a shop simulator game published by Bandai for the Nintendo DS, and was developed by NanaOn-Sha.

It was first released on September 15th, 2005 in Japan. It was later released in North America on January 31st, 2006, followed by June 16th in Europe. The series spawned various sequels. Out of the five sequels (not including remakes), only two were translated into English.

In Japan, the game was remade with 3D, anime-styled graphics and new characters. There was also a mash-up remake that returned to 2D graphics and added many characters, including ones from the Tamagotchi m!x. It included several shops from this game in addition to shops from other games in the series.

Gameplay[]

The game focuses on Tamagotchi characters running shops. It is played almost completely with the stylus, except for the start button. It was the first Tamagotchi-based game to not focus on caring for the character.

Instead, the player's Tamagotchi partner works in the various shops, performing mini-games to help customers. Users can earn Gotchi points in the shops and use them to buy food, clothing, furniture and decorations.

The player may choose either Mametchi, Memetchi, or Kuchipatchi as their partner. The goal of the game is to upgrade the shops until each one is granted the 'royal' status by Princess Tamako visiting them.

Before that, the partner's father will appear before upgrades instead, wearing various disguises to hide their identity from their children.

Dentist Gameplay

Here, you and your Tamagotchi friend help clean the teeth of other Tamagotchis.

In order to do so, you have to tend to their every need to make sure they don't leave in tears. There are 5 basic tabs used for this shop:

  • Toothbrush - used for brushing teeth whenever everything else is tended to.
  • Treatment - to drill teeth or dispose of the plaque fairies.
  • Wadding - for repairing teeth after they are drilled.
  • Implant - to put back missing teeth. Any spot that needs one will have an outline.
  • Injection - If the patient begins to cry (a giant teardrop), use this to calm them down!

This game can go in many directions depending on the patient and what level your shop is. But the basic formula is as follows:

  1. Use the drill on any X teeth until a colored spot appears, this is when you will use the tweasers under the Treatment tab to rid of the pesky little teeth rotting fairies and dispose of them into the trash.
  2. Now, use the wadding to fill the colored holes by using the matching colors on the teeth.
  3. You will use the toothbrush by selecting the brushes that match the colored spot until it sparkles.

Cleaners gameplay

Here, you and your Tamagotchi friend help clean the clothing of other Tamagotchis.

  • If they want a character, you pick the tab and the symbols or letters. Make sure to pick the matching color. The same applies for characters.

A somewhat complicated shop if everything isn't just so, it will be easier as you keep at it. For each round of Takoyaki made, you will add one or two Takoyaki for each customer until you get up to six, then repeat with the next row of customers. The tabs are:

  • Oil - Apply two coats to each hole on the cooker, if no oil is applied, it will burn away if waited too long.
  • Dough - The basic component of Takoyaki. If you take too long with no oil on the cooker, this will burn and you will need to start over.

  1. Make sure you spread enough oil to the requested amount of Takoyaki. Rub over each hole twice.
  2. Now drag or tap the dough over the oiled holes to fill them.
  3. Use each of the five ingrediants and each takoyaki by spreading them along it.

Trivia[]

  • In this game and its sequels, the Tamagotchis speak a babbling-like language that mimics the rhythm of Japanese speech.
  • If the player is partnered with Memetchi and they run into Makiko in the Beauty Salon, she and Memetchi will begin to argue after Makiko insults her.
