Original Story [Sat 15th Apr, 2023 10:30 BST]: FPGA developer Adam Gastineau has announced that he is working on an FPGA core for Bandai's famous Tamagotchi virtual pet – and it's coming to both the Analogue Pocket and MiSTer soon.
Tamagotchi took the world by a storm back in 1997, selling millions of units globally and spawning a massive range of spin-off merchandise, including video games.
Bandai has revived the brand in recent years, even going as far as to create a Tamagotchi smartwatch.
Gastineau's forthcoming core will be "full of features", including savestates, an automatic restore on core launch, a 'turbo' mode (up to 1,800x speed) and more.
