What Is It?
The Tamagotchi Angel (Tenshitchi) debuted in Japan in August 1997 and went worldwide in February 1998. It keeps the original care loop but reframes it around the afterlife — you raise a winged angel character, with halos, clouds, and heaven-themed interactions replacing the everyday pet of the original.
Key Features
- Angel theme — halos, wings and heavenly visuals.
- Familiar feed-clean-play care, with afterlife twists.
- One of the most charming early spin-offs.
Is It Worth Getting Today?
A lovely collector’s piece. The Angel is more widely available than the Japan-only spin-offs thanks to its worldwide release, and its gentle theme makes it a standout of the 1997–98 wave.
