The Tamagotchi Connection V2 was released in the US in 2005 as a sequel to the Tamagotchi Connection V1. It had the same basic features as the V1, but included more characters, different games, and a newly added shop.Tamagotchi Connection Re Release Key
Most of the menus worked the same way as they did in the V1, but the status menu now featured an area to show how many points you'd gathered from playing games.
The food menu also featured a new section below the snack and meal choices, treats. The one-time use food items you bought from the shop would appear under here. Treats could fill up your Tamagotchi's hunger or happiness meters more than regular food or snacks would. Each character also had a favorite and least favorite food item.
There were four different games that were unlocked as the Tamagotchi aged. Once it died or a new generation started, the games would have to be unlocked again. Besides just raising happiness and lowering weight, the games would now also give out points depending on how well you did in them, with a perfect game resulting in the highest payout.
The first game is Jump. Three circles with white centers appear at the top of the screen. They will turn black one-by-one, and you have to hit the corresponding button on your toy. The faster you press the buttons when they appear, the farther your Tamagotchi will jump.
The next game is Bump. A meter will fill up above your Tamagotchi, and you have to press a button when the meter is as high as possible. Your Tamagotchi will then fight with another as they try to knock each other down.
The next game is Heading. You have to use the left and right buttons to move your character between the left, right, and middle spots at the bottom of the screen. Balls will fall down from the top, ad you have to use the middle button to make your Tamagotchi jump and hit them back up.
The last game is a slot machine. Press the buttons to stop the corresponding reels. Circles and triangles will earn you points, but try not to stop them on the x's.
The points you earn from games can be used to buy items in the shop, which is accessed under the play menu. From here, you can buy new food or items for your Tamagotchi to play with.

The V2 could connect with either the V1 or other V2s.
The shop is very nice. Having the option to let your pet play with more items and being able to give it treats is nice. The games are a little hard, and the payout isn't super-high, so taking full advantage of the shop can sometimes be a little hard, though.
It's a fairly hardy pet, and not too hard to raise. It's one that's good if you're looking for one with a few more features than the V1 or vintage models, but don't want one that's too complex.
CYPRESS, Calif., June 16, 2005 -- After sell-out performances at retail over the past year, Bandai America Incorporated announced that it is ready to release Tamagotchi Connection Version 2 (V.2). Version 2, which offers more bonus features and increased interactivity, will begin hitting store shelves in mid-June -- with fun and exciting new designs and colors coming in July.
The egg-shaped toy simulates the life cycle of a real pet, letting kids experience the fun and responsibility of feeding, tending to and caring for their virtual pet. With Tamagotchi Connection Version 2, kids can earn 'Gotchi' points to shop for special items and food -- and by unlocking new secret codes, they can shop 'til they drop for even more fun treats. And, with even more new designs, colors and characters to choose from, Tamagotchi fans will be able to find the Tamagotchi that matches their personal style. New design collections include Tropical Fun, Camouflage, Makeup Fun, Sweet Candy and Spring Time.
The re-launch of Tamagotchi Connection in August 2004 spurred a re-birth of the virtual pet craze. After just five months on shelf, Tamagotchi Connection sold nearly one million units -- emerging as the hottest toy of the holiday season. Swift sales of Tamagotchi Connection have created high demand for the product and increased consumer anticipation for the release of V.2.
'We know that fans, consumers and retailers have been anxiously awaiting the release of Tamagotchi Connection Version 2,' said Bill Beebe, senior vice president, sales and marketing for Bandai America Incorporated. 'With the sales successes of Tamagotchi Connection in 2004 and the first half of 2005, combined with the escalating interest in new features and interactivity, we know that Version 2 will continue as a must-have toy.'
New to Version 2
The new 'Gotchi' points system allows owners to earn points to shop for special treats, items and food. Gotchi points are earned by playing games or getting special item awards points. Owners can also choose to feed their Tamagotchi a 'Meal,' 'Snack' or the newly introduced 'Treat' feature. A 'Treat' can be purchased with Gotchi points and can raise or lower a Tamagotchi's Happy meter. In addition, owners can now choose a treat to give to their Tamagotchi friends as a gift once they connect via the infrared technology.
Also new to Tamagotchi Connection Version 2 are secret codes -- unlocked by pushing a special sequence of buttons -- letting the player open more shopping areas to purchase a unique item not available in normal play. After collecting five secret codes, the owner can collect a special sixth unique item. All five secret codes will be revealed to fans through special events, advertising and in packaging. Tamagotchi Connection Version 2 also includes four new games.

For fans wanting to purchase two Tamagotchis at once, Bandai America will also offer the new 'True Friends' collection this July -- a pack of two Tamagotchi Connection virtual pets together with matching designs. The True Friends collections allow best friends to show off their matching virtual pets, to have fun sharing and communicating, to play games with each other and even to buy special treats for their Tamagotchi friends.
Tamagotchi Connection Version 2 still features interactive technology that allows owners to 'connect,' play games, give gifts and become friends with other Tamagotchi owners while storing a 'friend list' of up to 50 friends. Once an adult, the Tamagotchi can connect with a compatible friend and create a second-generation Tamagotchi that the owner can care for and nurture into an adult to create more generations to come.
Suggested retail price is $14.99 for Tamagotchi Connection Version 2. The True Friends collection suggested retail price is $26.99.
