The Tamagotchi, an electronic virtual pet that became a craze in the 1990s, is to return as an iPhone and Android app.

Japanese toy and video games maker Bandai has announced that Tamagotchi L.i.f.e. will soon be available to download from Google Play and the Apple Store.

The new app will include a Retro Mode, which offers features similar to the original game, as well as more advanced options and related mini games.

They have not given a date for the release, only saying that it will be available “soon”.

The word Tamagotchi is made from combining “tamago”, the Japanese word for egg, with the English word “watch”.

L.i.f.e stands for “love is fun everywhere”, according to the company blog.
