Hamtaro is a series of video games based on the Hamtaro anime series.
Tottoko Hamtaro: Tomodachi Daisakusen Dechu (とっとこハム太郎: ともだち大作戦でちゅ) was released in Japan for the Game Boy Color in 2000.
Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite! (とっとこハム太郎2 ハムちゃんず大集合でちゅ Tottoko Hamutarou 2 - Hamu-chanzu Daishuugou Dechu?) is a Hamtaro adventure video game developed by Pax Softnica and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Color handheld video game console. It was first released in Japan on April 21, 2001, and was later released in North America on October 28, 2002, and in Europe on January 10, 2003. It was the last game officially released for the Game Boy Color in Europe.
The player (Hamtaro) is controlled by the D-pad, and holding down the B button allows the player to run. Pressing A will open a dialogue box with different Ham-chat words depending on context. For instance, standing next to a sunflower seed and selecting "hif-hif" will pick up the seed, while standing next to an NPC and selecting "Hamha" will open a dialogue with the character. Different options will yield different outcomes, rolling (Tack-Q) into NPCs will usually elicit a negative response. Objects in the world can be interacted with, like climbing trees and pulling drawers open.
The player enters the Clubhouse and is directed by the Boss to round up the other hamsters.
Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak (とっとこハム太郎3 ラブラブ大冒険でちゅ Tottoko Hamutaro 3: Love Love Daibōken Dechu?) is a video game for Game Boy Advance developed by Pax Softnica and published by Nintendo, as the sequel to Tottoko Hamutaro: Tomodachi Daisakusen Dechu and Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite!. Therefore, it was the second Hamtaro game released in America and Europe, but the third one in Japan. It was released in Japan on May 3, 2002, in North America on April 8, 2003 and in Europe on June 27, 2003. After Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak, only one more Hamtaro adventure game was released, which was Hamtaro: Rainbow Rescue.
