Tamagotchi no Puchi Puchi Omisechi – Ninki no Omise Atsume Maseta

Tamagotchi no Puchi Puchi Omisechi – Ninki no Omise Atsume Maseta is a Simulation game developed and published by Bandai Namco Games for the Nintendo 3DS. It was released exclusively in Japan on November 16, 2017. It is the eighth entry in the Tamagotchi Corner Shop series. Like other Corner Shop games, the player must manage various shops and serve customers alongside a partner Tamagotchi, with the goal being to upgrade all of the shops to Royal status. Most of the shops are taken from previous Corner Shop games, with some updated details such as graphics, with the exception of the one secret “Hamburgardening Fireworks” shop, which is a combination of three different shops in one.

The soundtrack for the game uses a mix of music from the past Corner Shop games, as well. Shops can be upgraded once they have reached enough customer satisfaction, but unlike previous games, this won’t happen automatically after approval. Gotchi Points are needed in order to open and upgrade shops, and the fee increases for each upgrade. Some minigames become slightly more difficult or advanced with each upgrade, and a wider variety of customers will visit as well. Aside from opening and upgrading shops, one of the main goals is to collect a log of all of the available customers by serving them. There are 240 characters in the game, including ones that need to be unlocked by entering passwords.

Some customers only visit during certain times of day, as the game keeps track of the system time and has a real-world day and night cycle. If the player has logged a customer, they will be able to view their name, gender, biography, the time of day they appear, and five different expressions: neutral, happy, angry, sad, and excited; however, many characters share the same expression for being happy and excited. The player can decorate their house by buying a variety of furniture, wallpapers, and floors—all of which unlock gradually as shops are upgraded. The house is where the options, customer list, and other features can be accessed.

Various partner characters will enter and visit, and sometimes the Gotchi King will appear when reaching certain milestones, such as logging 50 or 100 customers, and throw the player a party to celebrate, awarding them with either Gotchi Points/or a new title. There is also Tamagotchi m!x compatibility that works with all versions of the m!x. By selecting the PC option under the connection icon on the toy, the player can get a code to enter into the 3DS game. The player can then choose a shop to play, and the partner will say the name of the character the player had. After completing a shop minigame, the 3DS game will provide a code that can be entered into the toy. The Tamagotchi m!x will receive Gotchi Points, and it can also receive a special gift after doing this 10 times.
