Back in the day a lot of companies were coming out with virtual pets, but none of them specifically claimed to be "Tamagotchis". Now-a-days, just looking on eBay you will find so many fakes actually claiming to be real. Don't let them fool you. Anything that does not specifically say "Bandai" on the package is probably fake!

The Akai is a special edition of the Keitai. The Ketaitama is the Japanese version of the American v2 Connection Tamagotchi. Just like the v3 Connections, it has an atenna because it connects to cell phones. The difference between the Akai and the Keitai is that the Akai has red pixels, red themed characters and red themed food. The red pixels make it a little difficult to see the action on the screen, but I have to say that this is my all time favorite tamagotchi! You input codes to get items. You don't need a website to input the codes either. Just find the code chart some where online and you're set for codes! There are a few different secret characters too. Unlike other tamas, your characters get to keep the food and items they buy forever.
Unlike the v2, it does not have a shop, but a salesman that comes to visit 3 times a day to sell you items. You can choose whether or not to buy them. If you buy them the salesman is happy. If you decline his offers he gets sulky and walks away sadly.Another feature I really enjoy is the alter feature. When your tamagotchi dies and you start it over by pressing a and c buttons simaltaneously, there is a record kept of the previous tama. Go to the list (it's in japanese) that shows the list of dead tamagotchis. There you can select a tamagotchi to pray too. When your character prays to the dead tamagotchi, it is safer in the future. If the grim reaper tries to get your current character, all you have to do is quickly go back to the list and select the character your current one prayed to. The old dead character will come back to life and save your Tamagotchi from the grim reaper! Also if you donate enough points to the king you will get a lucky Unchi-kun to clean up your characters poop. It's pretty funny.
