    Good Grief! A Peanuts Tamagotchi with Snoopy and Woodstock is coming soon.

    To help commemorate the 75th anniversary of Charles M. Schulz’s Peanuts comic strip, Bandai will soon be releasing a new Tamagotchi Nano featuring characters like Snoopy, Woodstock, and Harriet you can take care of and interact with — presumably without the risk of them dying if you’re negligent.

    The Peanuts Tamagotchi includes a red silicone case shaped like Snoopy’s doghouse and will feature additional characters from the comic like Charlie Brown, Lucy, and the piano-playing Schroeder.

    <em>You can take care of Snoopy, his best friend Woodstock, and Harriet.</em>

    GuliKit’s new Elves 2 Pro updates the Sega Saturn’s gamepad with joysticks.

    The follow-up to its original small and light Elves controller looks strongly influenced by the Sega Saturn’s gamepad with its rolling D-pad, although GuliKit has opted for four face buttons instead of six.

    The $49.99 Elves 2 Pro also features Hall effect joysticks, Bluetooth connectivity with PCs, the Switch, and iOS and Android devices, up to 20 hours of battery life, and the ability to record and replay up to 10 minutes of button presses.

    If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission.

    <em>The GuliKit Elves 2 Pro is available in a black or white finish.</em>
    <em>The controller can also connect to devices with a USB-C cable, features adjustable joystick sensitivity, and nine levels of vibrating force feedback.</em>
