ItΓÇÖs the first Saturday of May, which means Free Comic Book Day is here,
and this year, even Tamagotchi is getting in on the fun. Bandai has released
a limited edition comic for the event, and it sports the new moniker thatΓÇÖs
been fueling fan speculation for months: Tamagotchi Paradise. The comic will
only be available in physical form, so if you want one, youΓÇÖll have to take
a trip to your local comic store to pick it up. You can find participating
shops using the FCBD store locator.

Internet sleuths first spotted a trademark filing for Tamagotchi Paradise
earlier this year, sparking theories about the companyΓÇÖs plans for an
upcoming device. The comic doesnΓÇÖt outright confirm anything ΓÇö thereΓÇÖs
no official statement about whether the device and previously unseen
characters pictured in its pages will be brought to market ΓÇö but it sure
does seem to suggest that something really cool is on the way.

Per the Tamagotchi website:

For the first time, you'll explore a new Tamagotchi Planet, a vibrant,
magical world.

Meet brand-new Tamagotchi friends as they live, grow, and thrive on their
home planet! You'll discover how they navigate their everyday lives in this
whimsical world, interacting with their environment, forming bonds, and
experiencing their own unique challenges. It's an inside look at their
adorable existence in Tamagotchi Paradise.

I’m kind of getting Pokémon Snap vibes from it all, at least in the idea
of observing Tamagotchi characters in the wild, which would be a pretty fun
and fresh approach to the Tamagotchi universe. But we don't know for sure
what any of this means yet. If the purpose of this comic was just to drum up
the hype around a new version of the virtual pet toy… well, it’s working.
IΓÇÖm now dying to know more.
