Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop

Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop is a shop simulator video game developed by NanaOn-Sha and published by Bandai and Atari for the Nintendo DS. Based on the Tamagotchi virtual pet, the game tasks the player with running stores with their chosen partner Tamagotchi, and serving customers by playing store-dependent minigames. The game released in Japan in 2005 and worldwide in 2006. In Europe and Australia, the game was titled Tamagotchi Connexion: Corner Shop. The game was developed by NanaOn-Sha, who had previously collaborated with Bandai. The idea for a shop-simulation game came from the then-commonly held aspiration of Japanese girls to become shopkeepers.
