The nice large easy to distinguish buttons, and the large display were nice features of the basic design. I liked the case (rectangular and flat on the sides) which allowed you to sit the pet down in an upright position (leave it standing upright). Some music is played (if you leave the sound on) and the game is up and going. You are then given an opportunity to name your fighter, set the clock, and turn the sound off or on. When the pet starts, an animated display followed by 4 photos is displayed along with some music. The reset button is on the back and is recessed down a small hole. I found that pressing the round button on the left will return you to regular play.Ĭomments After Using the Pets You first start the pets by removing the isolation strip and pressing the reset button. The instructions do not explain how to get from that display back to regular play. Later on I was able to restart with a folded paper clip.Īfter a fight, you pet displays "Winner" or "Loser" on its display. I tried it with a folded paper clip and I guess I just did not get it pressed hard enough. Initially I was unable to do this (restart an existing pet). Once the game is going, the reset button can be used to get rid of your current fighter and begin training a new one. To restart from this mode, I assumed I needed to press the reset button, but instead, you have to press the two outside buttons simultaneously (this is spelled out in the instructions). Once you have the game going, if you neglect it for a few days and return, the screen just says "Champ" and your pet is gone. It said, "Before playing, remove the battery isolation strip and press the reset button using a pointed object." The decal is placed over one of the "sunken/ recessed" case screw holes and the word "isolation" is suspended over the hole and hard to read. I had to use a magnifying glass to read it. It has a very very small print decal by it. I found the reset button a little confusing. The Sumo Fighter instructions were in dark green ink on white paper and I could read them easier. The Rough Rider's instruction sheet was printed in red ink on white paper and I found that combination a bit difficult to read. ![]() That makes the pet a lot easier to operate. I also found the icons to be quite logical in comparison to some we have seen on other pets. I always think it is more understandable if they are presented in the order you see them on the display. The intructionsheet displayed the icons nicely, but did not address them in the sequence they appear on the display. I would encourage them to move to an 8 1/2 by 11 sheet and enlarge the font and illustrations of the icons. The instructions were understandable, but printed in small font on a small piece of paper. Many children throw away the card without retrieving the instructions. We are encouraging manufacturers to point this out. The packaging DOES NOT point out that the instruction sheet is between the folded over display card. The basic pets include several units I have not seen: Nano Double (Kitty & Puppy), Nano Bunny, Nano Teddy, Nano Pony, Nano Dino, and Nano Turtle. The back of the package also showed the basic nano pets and the talking nanos. Very small print on the packaging says "Conforms to toy safety standards ASTM F963". The instruction sheet included the URL for the Playmates Toys web site. ![]() The card and the instructions included in small type, "Ages 8 and up!". The units were plastic encapsulated on a brightly colored display card with a hanger. We purchased a black Supreme Sumo and a red Rough Rider for $19.99 each. Usually new pets take much longer to reach our We obtained a pair of the pets at a K-BToys in Tulsa Oklahoma on 20 December 1997. They can truly adopt as their own." There are already dozens of virtual pets for boysĪnd even several linking pets for boys. I do think the press release was a bit heavy on the "finally give boys a virtual pet I also like the names of the fighting pets: Rough Rider, Supreme Sumo, and Alley Fighter. "look here comes the Brinks truck" episode was a very refreshing. His association with the launch instead of another I particularly liked the introduction method, George Foreman is a great individual and a toy store in New York City.Īfter seeing the press release for the new Nano Fighter Pets ![]() Playmates introduced the Nano Fighters with a nice program at the F.A.O.
