These Upcoming Tamagotchis Will Let You Raise And Care For Hello Kitty
Bandai Namco is teaming up with Hello Kitty on a new batch of Hello Kitty-themed Tamagotchi dropping later this year, including two Tamagotchi Nanos and a new version of the Tamagotchi Uni.
The new Hello Kitty Tamagotchi Nanos will feature the same characters as other Tamagotchis, which start off as an egg that you raise from baby to adult form by feeding it and playing mini-games. These new devices feature Hello Kitty-themed content, like being able to feed your Tamagotchi pet Hello Kitty’s favorite foods like milk and apple pie. Hello Kitty herself will also assist you with keeping your Tamagotchi’s room clean and even taking it on trips. Once it’s ready, the Tamagotchi will transform into one of seven adult forms, including two adult forms exclusive to these new Hello Kitty Tamagotchis.
The new Hello Kitty Tamagotchi Nanos will be available for $20 on July 9 in red and blue shell designs. Both versions include the same content and come with a clasping carrying chain and batteries. Preorders are available at Amazon.
Along with the new Tamagotchi Nanos is a new Tamagotchi Uni featuring Hello Kitty and other Sanrio characters. Just like the first line of Tamagotchi Uni devices, the Tamagotchi Uni x Sanrio Characters is an upgraded take on the classic Tamagotchi device with modern features like a color screen, expanded mini games with collectible items, and internet connectivity, letting you share your virtual critter’s fashion on the “Tamaverse.” Rather than a keychain, Tamagotchi Unis utilize a wristwatch-like design, and The Tamagotchi Uni x Sanrio Characters comes with a pink watch band and Hello Kitty-themed device shell. You will also be able to collect costumes and other in-game items based on Hello Kitty and other Sanrio mascots.
The Tamagotchi Uni x Sanrio Characters will launch on July 12 for $70. Preorders are live at Amazon.
These aren’t the first Hello Kitty Tamagotchi devices. Bandai Namco also launched another pair of Hello Kitty! Tamagotchis back in 2020. Both are available at Amazon along with many other Tamagotchi devices, including versions based on popular movies like Jurassic Park and Star Wars, anime like Jujustu Kaisen and Demon Slayer, and more. Check the list below for a selection of Tamagotchis available at Amazon right now.

Mad Max 4K Blu-Ray Box Set Is Cheap At Amazon Ahead Of Furiosa’s Release
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga hits theaters on May 24, and it’s already earning rave reviews from critics. It serves as a prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road, meaning you’ll get more out of the upcoming film if you’ve seen George Miller’s previous work. If you haven’t yet seen Fury Road–or if you just need a refresher–you’ll find the Mad Max 4-Film Anthology on sale for $40 (was $90) leading up to the release of Furiosa, which includes not just Fury Road, but three other entries in the franchise. Alternatively, you can get the High Octane Collection $20 (was $80). Though this one mostly contains standard Blu-rays, it does come with a 4K Blu-ray of Fury Road.
$40 (was $90)
This is close to the lowest price we’ve ever seen for the title, with it previously hitting $37 around the 2023 holiday season. The volume includes 4K UHD versions of Mad Max (1979), The Road Warrior (1981), Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985), and Mad Max: Fury Road (2015). As a bonus, you’ll get digital codes for all four films. That makes this the best way to catch up on the action before heading to theaters for Furiosa.
Mad Max 4-Film Anthology Special Features
Along with the four films, you’ll get a few special features. This includes an introduction from film critic Leonard Maltin, commentary from George Miller and Cinematographer Dean Semler, and Road War: The Making of Road Warrior.
Prime members in select locations are eligible for one-day delivery, so it’s possible to check out the collection before the new film hits theaters on May 24.
If you don’t mind stepping down to Blu-ray, you’ll find the Mad Max High Octane Collection on sale for $20 (down from $80). That matches its lowest-ever price. This collection is slightly different than the 4-Film Anthology above, as it gets you the following:
- Mad Max
- The Road Warrior
- Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
- Mad Max: Fury Road
- Mad Max: Fury Road (4K UHD)
- Mad Max: Fury Road Black & Chrome
- The Madness of Max (Behind-the-scenes documentary)
- Road War Documentary
Once you’re done catching up on the action, be sure to grab tickets to see Furiosa on May 24. Our Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga review gave the film a 9/10 due to its incredible action scenes, a stellar performance from Anya Taylor-Joy, and an engaging script.
Tomb Raider I-III Remastered’s New Collector’s Edition Is Locked And Loaded With Cool Extras
After launching earlier this year on digital storefronts, a physical edition of Tomb Raider I-III Remastered is now available for preorder. The standard edition will be available for PS5, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch, but fans looking to splurge can also check out a pretty cool deluxe edition and a collector’s edition with neat extras. These will be available on September 24, and they’re being sold through Limited Run Games and several other retailers. By the time you’re finished reading this sentence, the collector’s edition will probably be sold out already.
In case you missed it, Tomb Raider I-III Remastered is a comprehensive collection of the original trilogy of games starring Lara Croft. They’ve all been given a fantastic visual makeover, but thanks to the game making use of original assets, you can switch back to the blocky original graphics if you’re feeling nostalgic. On top of the original globetrotting campaign, this collection also bundles in all of the DLC released for those titles.
Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Standard Edition ($30)
Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Collector’s Edition ($200)
Preorders aren’t live for the deluxe edition yet, but this version will include a steelbook cover, an exploration map book featuring over 80 pages of secrets from the original trilogy, a collectible box, and the collection’s original soundtrack when it’s available.
For the collector’s edition, Tomb Raider fans get a lot more in the form of three 12×16 posters, a set of premium trading cards, the full collection’s original soundtrack in both physical CD and digital download formats, a map book, and Lara Croft polygonal figurines from each title. The big draw here is a set of two replica Lara Croft pistols in a lit shadow box, and both weapons have a unique pixelated design.
Limited Run Games is also selling Switch Nitro Decks sporting Tomb Raider designs, and these are designed to symbolize Lara’s journey across the trilogy of games. Nitro Decks are very nice for when you’re looking to make your Switch more comfortable to use, and they come with Hall Effect sticks, remappable back buttons, a turbo mode, and several other features. They can be used for either standard or OLED model Switch handhelds.
