Namco releases Tamagotchi: ‘Round the World for iPhone

Namco has released its Tamagotchi: ‘Round the World game for iPhone and iPod touch. Previously released for Click Wheel iPods, the game lets players pick one of four Tamagotchi, and then play one of six missions that take place across three differently-themed planets, each of which features Gaiatchi, or living clouds, plants, geysers and seedlings that populate the planet. Players interact with the Gaiatchi through mini-games and activities such as rock paper scissors, dancing, memory matching, and math puzzles. Tamagotchi: ‘Round the World is available now from the App Store and sells for $6; a Lite version is also available as a free download.
