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.

Nindie Spotlight: 7.5 / 10 by Justin Nation
While its oddball collection of mini games (including 3 with mouse support exclusive to Switch 2) has some charm, it has some flaws that don’t make it automatically family-friendly
Game8: 66 / 100 by Allisandra Reyes
Tamagotchi Plaza is delightful in the moment, but fleeting in memory. Its charm is immediate—bright, nostalgic, and effortlessly engaging—but the magic thins fast. With shallow story beats and mini-games that lose their luster, it’s a game that is entertaining, but not enduring.
Nintendo Life: 3 / 10 by Mitch Vogel
Tamagotchi Plaza is a dull, vapid, and utterly unsatisfying minigame collection that rapidly overstays its welcome. Though charming and visually competent, the underlying gameplay is undercooked, unrewarding, and shallow with its 'free mobile game'-like design.There may be a valid case here for playing with very young children for some very light and simple entertainment, but even then, the price tag is comically high for the shallowness and quantity of content you're getting. I'd suggest you steer clear; it's worth neither your time nor your money.
