Tamagotchi Connexion: Corner Shop 3

If you thought creating your own shop and making your own dough was fun in Tamagotchi Connexion: Corner Shop then you'll enjoy this third instalment in the series, which adds over a dozen new stores for your Tamagotchi character to take over. Each different store comes with a different gameplay experience, from baking your own bread in a bakery to scooping ice cream at your very own parlour.

Once you've worked the whole day, over-charging your customers for simple goods and services, you can relax in a park that you can customise and decorate to your heart's content. Fountains, gardens and many other unlockable items can be used to theme your Eden, and you can chat to many other Tamagotchis in order to further push your wares the next day.

Your double life as a shop owner / park planner can be put to good use when you show your organisation skills off to your friends over Nintendo WiFi Connection, by sharing journal entries that log your progress in the game. You can also swap items with fellow shopkeepers, so you can finally get that decoration you've been looking for.

Tamagotchi Connexion: Corner Shop 3 is sure to expand on the simple, fun nature of the series, and the presence of characters such as Violetchi, Mametchi and Kuchipatchi will surely be a hit with those who don't want to take the whole thing too seriously; it's one thing making bank, but another to keep all those pesky admin records.
