Guinea pig Gupi joins next-gen virtual pet wave
With Bandai America gearing up to launch a new-and-improved Tamagotchi line this August, we may very well be staring down the barrel of a virtual pet trend revival. And at least one company is hoping to catch a ride on Bandai's coattails. New York's Genio Group is introducing an AI-powered guinea pig created and manufactured by Belgian toyco Cutting Edge Toys. Genio will distribute Gupi (pronounced Goopy) in North America starting this fall.
