New Digital Monster Ver. 20th Game Celebrates 1997 Original with Classic Colors and Expanded Features!

If you head over to Bandai’s official shopping site Premium Bandai, you’ll find all sorts of must-have goodies like their new Digital Monster Ver. 20th virtual pet game!

Long time fans of the global hit Digimon might remember the first Digital Monster, which involved carrying around a small portable device to raise little virtual Digimon! Originally released in June 1997 with over 8 million sold, this re-release focuses on commemorating its 20th anniversary - complete with all sorts of expanded features and functions for a more enjoyable experience!

Pre-orders began on Jan. 6 with the original brown and gray colors available as options.

■ Digital Monster Ver. 20th
Much like the original, the Ver. 20th device is conveniently sized to fit within the palm of your hand, complete with a little clasp to clip onto bags and other belongings. The in-game time corresponds to real time as you train your Digimon to the best of your ability. And if you had hours of fun playing the 1997 version, you’ll be guaranteed that and more with expanded features such as raising two Digimon at the same time, web linking, and communication and battle abilities!

So if Lady Nostalgia is calling your name, don’t take too long to place an order - March 27 is the last day Premium Bandai is accepting orders!
