As far as minigame collections go, the first two Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop games are among the best on the DS. Best played in short bursts, Corner Shop 1 and 2 offer a polished casual experience, with lots of variety among the shops, catchy music and tons of personality. In Corner Shop 3, you'll find the same formula intact, with a bit of a facelift and lots of little upgrades to explore. The shops themselves are all new, four of which are unlocked from the beginning: Treasure Hunters, Gardening, Recycling Center and Card Shop.

Like in the last two installments, each shop has four levels of expansion, with the highest being a four-story Royal shop. Combined shops are a new addition to the series though - when two shops are at a high enough level, you can create a super shop that combines the two, for a one-stop Tamagotchi shopping experience. For example, the Day Spa and Decoration Shop will combine to make Deco-Esthetics Decoration Day Spa, to meet even the most discerning Tamagotchi's decor and hygiene needs.
