Santa Clara, Calif., (May 30, 2008) – Leading video games publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. announced today that Tamagotchi Connection^®: Corner Shop^® 3 has gone gold for the Nintendo DS™.  A simulation game based on the popular virtual pets, Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop 3 lets players run over a dozen new businesses with their favorite Tamagotchi pal. Utilize the stylus to navigate through tasks or participate using the microphone for a whole new level of interactivity the Tamagotchi franchise has not seen.

Business in TamaTown is booming and it’s your job to make sure it stays that way.  Get behind the counter of more than 12 different stores, each with their own unique touch screen mini-games, and participate in the assigned tasks. With so many missions in Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop 3, from teaching piano to searching for hidden treasure or serving up ice cream, there are plenty of activities to keep players entertained.  Maintain happy clientele and the shops will begin to grow, unlocking more challenging mini-games and new accessories. 

After a long day at work, spend hard earned money to decorate your very own park with lots of fun items including water fountains, benches and flower beds. Daily visits to the park will not only allow you to watch the progress of your garden but also provide the opportunity to meet new Tamagotchis. Also be sure to stop by the Clocktower to hang out and get to know your newly found acquaintances.  Additionally, try on and buy new outfits for your Tamagotchi partners or send journal entries and items to your friends via Nintendo DS’s Wireless Communication.
