In celebration of 16 years of [Tamagotchi](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Tamagotchi/), Namco Bandai has cooked up a new mobile app based on the brand's original virtual pet. Free to download from [Google Play](http://www.engadget.com/tag/googleplay/), this piece of '90s nostalgia has been re-imagined with new features like color, improved image resolution and Facebook sharing. Fancy new bells and whistles aside, you'll still need to feed and discipline your digital pet in order for it to thrive. So, if your device is running Android 2.3 or higher and you're ready to clean up some pixelated poop, head on over to the Play Store to download your household's newest edition.
