Does anyone remember Webkinz? #shorts #gaming

So this is what polygon is up to now

I remember my big sister’s frog Webkinz plush ^^

I kinda wanna try Webkinz Next now to see what it's about

i was like old by the time webkinz got going and i thought they were like unconscionably cheap looking. a beanie baby, that was a quality stuffed animal

I didn't play Webkinz as a child but now I wish I did :(

I played one of these breed of games with dragon eggs or something for a very short time.

I've been summoned by childhood nostalgia

I remember calling my friend (on the landline!) and playing together in my webkinz house for hours at a time.

I have webkinz plushies older than my niblings that are graduating highschool this year :'o

Yes, I was very violently reminded of Webkinz when I played Half-Life for the first time a few months ago and found out they both use the same stock sound lol (the dripping water sound effect when you mine for gems in Webkinz)

I've not thought about this game for several years. In a world of a lot of mixed-quality flashgames, Webkinz felt generally much higher quality (We don't talk about bounce-and-burst.), and I anticipate ALL the nostalgia hitting whenever I stumble across the stuffed animals while cleaning.

Webkinz Next immediately set off alarm bells that they turned it into an NFT scheme, which would be so much worse than an updated game with ugly graphics!

I actually had the dog plush you used in the video! But I stopped playing Webkinz when they made it basically impossible to do anything without paying them extra to play :(

I stopped playing once they required you to get a new one every so often to keep your account active

I was a neopets kid and that's its own whole nightmare now

that's such a cool sweater

i miss the hamster mode from time to time i played it so much
