It's no surprise to see Nintendo rules the list, with the nine of the top ten, although how Namco Bandai's Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop managed to sell over a million copies is beyond us.
Sfronzols is a cute & fun Tamagotchi app to care for your colorful little character and be joyous with them. You’re responsible for playing with them, feeding, bathing, giving them rest and overall happiness. Explore the Sfronzols world in this review.
Sfronzols… try saying that three times fast! It’s a Tamagotchi app to keep a small cuddly character in good spirits. Tasks are pretty simple and you swipe through the screen to get to each activity. You’re responsible for feeding, bathing, putting to bed to restore energy and playing games with them. There are mini games cleverly embedded with many of the developer’s other apps; such as Sfronz The Mole, Flappy Fly, Lights OFF or prompts to download other apps. Completing these tasks earns you coins to keep your little character happy. With these coins you can go to the town and replenish stock like food, medicine, or buy clothes and items to customize, etc. If there’s a bit of neglect going on, you’ll receive notifications throughout the day. There are other things you can do to stay entertained like taking selfies with the Sfronzol!
As everyone knows by now, Masaya Matsuura pioneered music games with PaRappa the Rapper. What many may not realize is that his development company, NanaOn-Sha, is still going strong. Responsible for Namco Bandai's successful Tamagotchi Corner Shop series on the DS and the iPod title Musika, the company also recently announced a partnership with PaRappa artist Rodney Alan Greenblat to create a new music game for the Wii for Majesco.
Gamasutra sat down with Matsuura to discuss his company's unique "jam session" development style, the state of Japanese studios, and his plans for the Wii. Joining the discussion was NanaOn-Sha's overseas business manager, Dewi Turner.

"Some might say last week, others the week before that, but for me, there is no competition: This week is the greatest week in games EVER! Mass Effect, you say? Well, how about History Channel: Battle for the Pacific? Super Mario Galaxy? I've got my copy of Space Ace HD right here, waiting for you. That's it, fellas. I'm blowing my holiday pay on these hot titles and maybe I'll pick up a copy of The Tuttles Madcap Misadventures: Starlight Starbright Charity Challenge just to play in my down time. Tell me, how do you compete with that?"
