The dialogue, while charming at first, is extremely repetitive. Your Tamagotchi partner engages every single new customer in the exact same dialogue. At each shop, the same few sets of dialogue are repeated over and over for every customer who comes in.
If you're just picking the game up for a few minutes here and there, you won't notice it as much, but if you're playing for any extended period of time (say, more than 15 minutes), the rinse-wash-repeat style of each minigame will grow tiresome all too quickly.
You may find yourself playing these minigames and wondering why you've been playing past the point of enjoyment... The reason may be the super sweet, catchy yet soothing background music. One of the highlights of thegame, there are three BGMsto choose from, one for each of the Tamagotchi partners. The sound effects forthe Tamagotchi chatter are equally as ear-pleasing,and you'll love listening to their melodious jibber-jabber (or Japanese, whatever).
