There's another "new" Tamagotchi game from Bandai!

Tamagotchi Teufelchen, or Tamagotchi Monster is the fourth J2ME Tamagotchi game by Bandai on the mobile phones.  The first one, Tamagotchi, was a P1 port.  The second one was Tamagotchi Soccer, a remake of Tamagotchi but with a soccer theme.  Tamagotchi Angel, a port of the virtual pet with the same name was the third game on the mobile phone.

If you are familiar with the Tamagotchi Devil or Devilgotchi, then this is that virtual pet that is now ported to the mobile gaming world.  Most Japanese Tama-lovers may recognize this pet already, but others may have only seen this the firs time as this was never released outside Japan and in English.  This is one of those Japan-exclusive Tamagotchis like the Tamagotchi Angel.

Why the name change?  I'm not really sure, but most likely it has something to do with some people's religious sensitivity about the word devil.  It's a sanitized Devilgotch, so to speak.

Released this May, it features everything that a Devilgotch had back then, but with better graphics and sounds.  It also has a different flush icon (before, it looked like buttocks), and four shell colors. Most likely, this is the closest we can get to a colored screen Tamagotchi pet.

It runs in real time.  Just like the Tamagotchi Angel for the mobile, even if you don't open the game, it will still continue running like all Tamagotchis do.  Expect the hungry and friends hearts to be empty and the screen full of poop if you forget to take care of your little monster.
