Star Wars enthusiasts have a new reason to celebrate! Bandai has introduced a Darth Vader-themed Tamagotchi, allowing fans to nurture a young Anakin Skywalker and witness his inevitable transformation into the feared Sith Lord. The device comes with a silicone case designed to resemble Vader’s iconic helmet, combining classic Tamagotchi fun with Star Wars magic.
Starting with Anakin as a boy, your care determines his progression toward becoming Darth Vader. From feeding and training to encounters with familiar Star Wars characters, your choices influence which of ten unique Vader personalities he develops. However, you can’t stop his destiny of joining the dark side.
The Tamagotchi also features over a dozen mini-games and pixelated scenes from the Star Wars saga. Activities include lightsaber training, the Death Star trench run, and more. Oddly, there’s no pod-racing mini-game—despite its ties to Anakin’s early life.
This Vader Tamagotchi is the third Star Wars release, following editions inspired by R2-D2 and Grogu. Priced at $30, it hits shelves in March, with pre-orders available now.
Whether you’re a nostalgic Tamagotchi fan or a lifelong Star Wars follower, this crossover is a must-have. Shape Anakin’s rise to power and explore his journey in a galaxy far, far away—but remember, the dark side is inevitable. Pre-order yours today!
