People Are Modding The Tamagotchi Paradise To Run Game Boy Games

Reddit user markivino demonstrated this week that the 2025 Tamagotchi Paradise can be modded to run playable Game Boy Color titles, including Pokémon Gold and Silver, with two customized devices able to trade Pokémon when connected. The feat builds on a long-running Tamagotchi modding scene known for custom shells, emulation of older models, and user-made characters and accessories. It matters as a showcase of the hobbyist demand and hardware flexibility around Bandai's virtual pet line, even if the tiny screen and controls make it an impractical way to play. Watch for whether the modding community standardizes the technique and whether future Tamagotchi releases ship with more capable internals.
