Tamagotchi Paradise owners are warned about an aging glitch affecting pets of specific ages. Tamagotchi can live indefinitely with proper care and can be rescued from fatal conditions, but elderly pets still eventually pass and become a “Happy Tama Star.” Bandai Namco warns that after year 256, some units may behave abnormally. Tamagotchi aged 256–285, 512–541, and 768–797 may skip the Happy Tama Star milestone, skip the rescue opportunity, and show inaccurate age. Instead, the pets may display continuous crying until they die. Bandai Namco acknowledged the issue without offering a fix or replacement, and speculation links the affected numbers to byte storage limits.
"Tamagotchi Paradise owners are being warned about an emerging glitch stemming from pets of a certain age. While original generations of Tamagotchi had a limited lifespan of a few human days, this recent model allows Tamagotchi to live indefinitely with proper care. They also offer the ability to rescue pets suffering from fatal conditions."
"Tamagotchi over 30 are considered elderly and will require care as such. For one to pass after a full life isn't a slight, and Tamagotchi of a certain age will become a lovely star in the sky. That said, Bandai Namco warns fans that things could get a little funky after year 256."
"While most elder Tamagotchi will pass in good grace, Tamagotchi between the ages of 256-285, 512-541 and 768-797 are susceptible to an unusual new glitch. Instead of a normal death, this sequence will skip the "Happy Tama Star" milestone, the opportunity to rescue your Tamagotchi from death's grasp, or an accurate age. Eerier still, what will display are your Tamagotchi weeping rivers of tears until they cark it."
"As much as this sounds like a creepypasta, Bandai Namco have acknowledged the issue on their site, albeit with no solution or offer to replace affected units. Automaton 's Carlos Zotomayor suspects these numbers are not random. That 256 happens to be the upper value of what can be stored in a byte of data. It likely isn't a coincidence that the devices are getting tripped up in these specific ra"
