Japan is giving us major throwback vibes with its relaunching of Tamagotchi, the 90s keychain game we all know and love?

First dominating the toy market in 1996, Japanese toy maker Bandai has officially rebranded every 90s kid obsession with the same adorable, retro pets but in even brighter colored casings.

Changes include a smaller plastic shell, a square LCD screen instead of the normal rectangular one, and removal of icons at the top and bottom of the screen.

The new Tamagotchis can now be bought on Amazon Japan for 2,000 yen, which is honestly a pretty small price to pay to relive your nostalgia?
