Tamagotchi Elections On The Wii
The virtual pet powerhouse that is Tamagotchi finds another home, on the Wii. Tamagotchi Party On! features 4 players competing to become the President of Tamagotchi Planet. The game features a Mario Party-like mixture of minigames on a boardgame. Players will compete in mini-games such as “Shaking Hands” to prime yourself for a seat in the presidential office.
The title will be hitting US retailers this spring. While the game is focused at kids, it should be fun to check out the bizzare style of the game, which has been Tamagotchi’s trademark.
I remember when I got my first Tamagotchi, it wouldn’t stop beeping during class. So I would have to feed it, or clean up it’s mess. That was the funniest though, little pixelated doo. I haven’t played the DS Tamagotchi games, but I was always curious about them. Has anyone played the DS Tamagotchi games? Could you share the experience?
For the full press release, make the jump.

Tamagotchi for DS is fun... but I was a little disapointed because you don't actually get to feed them and play with them and clean up their little "mess". In this game, you run a series of "shops" and you fill orders for your customers.
