Bandai Namco is marking it in the best way possible: the <strong>DIGIVICE ver.REVIVAL<\/strong> is out today in Japan, reviving the iconic LCD handheld toy from the original <em>Digimon Adventure<\/em> series for the first time since 1999.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is the DIGIVICE ver.REVIVAL?<\/h2>\n<p>If you grew up in Singapore watching <em>Digimon Adventure<\/em> and pestering your parents for a Digivice at the toy shop, this one is for you. Released in Japan in July 1999, the original Digivice was a pendulum-style LCD game \u2014 you raised a Digimon partner, kept it healthy by swinging the device, and linked up with other Digivice owners to swap HELP requests. It was part virtual pet, part adventure companion, and for a generation of Singapore kids it was the coolest thing on the toy shelf.<\/p>\n<p>The DIGIVICE ver.REVIVAL brings that loop back, pulling content from the full original <em>Digimon Adventure<\/em> TV run all the way through the 2020 film <em>Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna<\/em>. There are more than 80 Digimon to raise and encounter \u2014 partners and rivals alike \u2014 and the core pendulum mechanic is intact. The retail price in Japan is \u00a54,378 (tax included), roughly US$30.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/digivice-ver-revival-taichi.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"DIGIVICE ver.REVIVAL Taichi Yagami Colour \u2014 orange and blue transparent body with Agumon on the LCD screen\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Bandai Namco<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Two Variants: Taichi or Yamato?<\/h2>\n<p>There are two colour variants at launch, each styled after one of the original DigiDestined:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Taichi Yagami Colour<\/strong> \u2014 the classic orange-and-blue transparent shell with Agumon on boot. If you only owned one Digivice as a kid, it was probably this one.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Yamato Ishida Colour<\/strong> \u2014 a deep translucent blue with white buttons, Gabumon on the LCD. Yamato&#8217;s device always had the colder, sharper look, and this version nails it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Both variants have identical gameplay and Digimon rosters \u2014 the choice is cosmetic. A single CR2032 battery (included) powers the unit and the rated age is 8 and above.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/digivice-ver-revival-yamato.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"DIGIVICE ver.REVIVAL Yamato Ishida Colour \u2014 deep blue and white body with Gabumon on the LCD screen\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Bandai Namco<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>How Singapore Fans Can Pick One Up<\/h2>\n<p>The DIGIVICE ver.REVIVAL is going out through general Japanese retail today \u2014 it is not a Premium Bandai exclusive \u2014 so stock should be broadly available at toy shops and electronics chains across Japan. For Singapore fans, the usual import routes apply: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.play-asia.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Play-Asia<\/a> and AmiAmi both stock Bandai toys and frequently ship to Singapore, and proxy\/forwarding services (Tenso, Buyee, Remambo) are straightforward options for this size of item.<\/p>\n<p>Closer to home, Singapore&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zenintcg.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zenint<\/a> \u2014 a local Digimon card and collectibles specialist \u2014 has both variants listed for pre-order ahead of the international release. Bandai has confirmed an international version is in development, described as a re-work of the existing <em>Ver.Complete<\/em> build made more accessible for fans outside Japan (likely including English text). Zenint&#8217;s listings point to a September\u2013November 2026 window for that release; international pricing has not been confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>If you want the Japanese version now, \u00a54,378 per unit is very reasonable for a piece of Digimon history. Both colours are worth considering \u2014 the 1999 originals came out at similar price points and dried up fast.
