Atari throws a Wii Tamagotchi party in August

Staring those bizarre virtual pet creatures, Tamagotchi: Party on! is a four-player party game, which Atari is readying for an August release over here.

Party On! is the first 3D Tamagotchi game and takes on the Mario Party series with a similar board game-style design, with players facing off in a selection of humorous mini games.

It's worth noting, though, that despite the virtual pet background these creatures are famous for, there are no virtual pet mechanics in this game.
