Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop 2 (たまごっちのプチプチおみせっち ごひーきに Tamagotchi no Puchi Puchi Omisetchi Gohi-Kini) is a simulation video game jointly developed by Dimps and NaNaOn-Sha and published by Bandai Namco Games for the Nintendo DS handheld video game console.
It is the sequel to Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop, also released for the Nintendo DS. It would be later followed by Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop 3. The player once again partners up with Memetchi, Mametchi, and Kuchipatchi to run a mall and upgrade all the shops to royal status.
Plot[]
The player and their chosen partner win 10,000 Gotchi Points from the Tama Lottery and decide to open up shops at the Tama Mall. At each shop, they must impress Princess Tamako who will keep expanding their shop until it is royal. As more shops are expanded, other types of shops will become available to purchase.
After all the shops become royal, the player is invited to a party at the castle where Princess Tamako refuses to marry Prince Tamahiko, saying that she wants to open her own shops, and she will marry him when she gets older. Many people believe it's a wedding, not a party. Reaching the ending unlocks Princess Tamako as a partner to play with.
Playing with Princess Tamako[]
The game is similar to when the player is using a saved file, only they cannot save data, and the only characters in this mode are the castle servants, Prince Tamahiko, the Gotchi Queen, and the unhatched Gotchi King.

- Clothes - For dressing up the partner. Clothes are unlocked as the player upgrades shops and once an outfit is bought, the player keeps it.
- Room - Items to customize the Tamagotchi's room. Including the layout, design, and so-fourth.
- Music - Pick from 1 of 3 songs, each based on Mametchi, Memetchi, and Kuchipatchi.

Game Comparison & Differences[]
Many of the Tamagotchis from the first game return, while some don't. Many of the new ones are from the Tamagotchi Connection Version 4, Tamagotchi School, and Ura Jinsei Enjoi Tamagotchi Plus.
Besides that, other differences include:
- Shops located in one town instead of three separate towns.
- Care items are easier to unlock.
- A fourth partner can be played with.
- Some of the activities from the previous game have been upgraded in terms of features.
- A stamp system was added for the customers.
- In the first game, before upgrading to the Metchi or Gotchi rank, the partner's father goes in disguise and shows up as a customer. When upgrading to Royal, Princess Tamako appears.
- In the predecessor, the Gotchi Queen is referred to as "Princess Tamago".
- In this game, if the player takes too long to serve the customer(s), the music is replaced by a different, faster track, unless it is turned off.
- In the predecessor, the player could press the START button to pause the game. In this game, the player cannot. The game also cannot be paused during the conversation scenes, as the predecessor can.
Reception[]
Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop 2 was the top-selling game in Japan during its week of release, selling 192,458 copies. The game had sold 713,237 copies in the region by the end of 2006, making it the 14th best-selling game in Japan that year. However, TC:CS2 was less successful than the original game.

- This is the only game in the Corner Shop series that has Princess Tamako as a playable character.
- On occasion, the partner Tamagotchi will reference the previous shops found in the original Corner Shop.
- In the English version of this game, Violetchi's color erroneously remains pink, her Japanese color.
