You can get the new Tamagotchi in Canada if you want to relive your childhood, but it got a makeover because it isn't the '90s anymore!

Tamagotchi Pix is the newest generation of the toy. You can still take care of the pet just like you would in the classic game, but there are tons of new features — like a camera.

The new toy has some even newer features. The screen is in colour instead of black and white, there's a camera, and 17 games are available to play. You can even choose a career for your pet once it's an adult.

Tamagotchi Pix is set to become available in July.

If you want to get one when it comes out, you can buy it at Walmart, EB Games, Toys "R" Us and Amazon in Canada.
