The Tamagotchi franchise, an emblem of digital pet care since the nineties, introduces a new adventure with Tamagotchi Plaza, designed especially for Nintendo Switch 2. With a special edition of the console, the proposal moves away from traditional simulation to focus on an experience based on minigames and resource management.
Far from simulation games like The Sims or Animal Crossing, Tamagotchi Plaza proposes that the player remain off-screen, guiding their creature from an external role. The goal is to revitalize an unpopular plaza through improvements funded with money earned in recreational activities.
How to play Tamagotchi Plaza

The core mechanic consists of choosing a creature and visiting different spots in a plaza with a classic urban aesthetic: bakeries, restaurants, beauty centers, and more. In each of these spaces, players access themed minigames to earn coins and improve the overall infrastructure.
The best:
Dynamic, intuitive, and entertaining minigames.
Excellent implementation of Switch 2's proprietary technologies such as HD Rumble and motion controls.
Outstanding fluidity and polished graphics for the cartoon style.
What fails:
Repetition of mechanics after a few hours of gameplay.
Lack of depth in the minigames and little real progress.
It's unclear whether it targets a child or casual adult audience.

Who is Tamagotchi Plaza for?
One of the biggest challenges of the game is its ambiguity regarding the target audience. While its aesthetic and characters seem designed for children, the challenges and lack of clear tutorials could discourage younger players. At the same time, the limited evolution in the mechanics may drive away adult players seeking more depth.
Even so, Tamagotchi Plaza is recommended for fans of relaxing proposals like Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley, especially if they're looking for a brief and charming experience, with an emphasis on quick interaction and colorful design.
