The Keitai Tamagotchi is Japan's V2. It connects to cell phones and has many similar characters to our V2. The most noticable difference between the Japanese v2 and the other versions of v2 is that the Japanese has an antenna, symbolizing the fact that it can connect to your phone. After this one came out most of the newer versions afterward had antennas. I decided to get a Keitai even though I already had an Akai because I wanted one without red pixels but with the same old version of Mametchi :D



Unlike the American v2, it does not have a shop, but a salesman that comes to visit 3 times a day to sell you items. You can choose whether or not to buy them. If you buy them the salesman is happy. If you decline his offers he gets sulky and walks away sadly.Another feature I really enjoy is the alter feature. When your tamagotchi dies and you start it over by pressing a and c buttons simaltaneously, there is a record kept of the previous tama. Go to the list (it's in japanese) that shows the list of dead tamagotchis. There you can select a tamagotchi to pray too. When your character prays to the dead tamagotchi, it is safer in the future. If the grim reaper tries to get your current character, all you have to do is quickly go back to the list and select the character your current one prayed to. The old dead character will come back to life and save your Tamagotchi from the grim reaper! Also if you donate enough points to the king you will get a lucky Unchi-kun to clean up your characters poop. It's pretty funny.



Here are some pictures of the one I currently own:

I got mine for $17. They currently run for about $22 on average but can go for a few dollars more or less.
