Watch the music video for Hello Kitty Online’s new theme song once – and only once – and you may be safe. Some of us weren’t so fortunate.
It’s cute, it’s pink and if you watch this trailer too many times, Hello Kitty might suck out your soul through your eyes. Not that I’m worried; she’s had my soul since 1986.
I got an extended look at Hello Kitty Online yesterday and today I woke up with an infection of super-cute screen shots. Let me spread the love like a bad cold.
In the most exciting news out of the Game Developers Conference so far this morning, Sanrio Digital and Aeria Games are partnering to officially bring Hello Kitty Online to North America.
Sanrio Digital celebrates the season of love this Valentine’s Day weekend by opening up the servers of Hello Kitty Online for a public stress test with their four-day Happy Hearts event.
While other MMO games are busy celebrating Halloween this weekend, Hello Kitty Online is getting ready for a celebration of a far greater calibre. Tomorrow marks the 34th Birthday of Kitty White, the big-headed icon we commonly refer to as Hello Kitty, and Hello Kitty Online is preparing a birthday celebration fit for a character that’s been on more erasers than the words “I love you.” Festivities kick off tomorrow with a weekend-long birthday party, with KW herself appearing in-game, which I suppose we are supposed to be thankful for. “Gee, thanks for showing up at your own party.”
Seeing as I was once an unofficial spokesperson for the game, I thought it best if I present you with the first official trailer for Hello Kitty Online. As was expected, there is plenty of pink, an abundance of cute little mouthless critters than somehow manage to talk anyway, and fun for the whole family, whether they like it or not. I especially like the idea of Hello Kitty makeovers for all of the major cities in the world, though Tokyo seems a rather redundant choice.
Hello Kitty Online hopes to transport its players into a world of sweetness and light. A world without hate. A world without fear. A world, apparently, without a sense of sarcasm. This morning I was pointed towards the main page for Hello Kitty Online, which features a quote I swear I’ve read before. “Only one MMO could possibly release World of Warcraft’s death grip on the massively multiplayer gaming market – Hello Kitty Online”
*rubs his temples and sighs* I wish I could say it was taken out of context, but to someone who isn’t a regular reader of the site my quote does indeed sound like I am Captain Hello Kitty, Champion of the Kittyverse. And while I might secretly relish having such a title on my business cards, I feel I have to offer an explanation lest I start receiving Hello Kitty merchandise from all of my relatives on my birthday and Christmas – other than the toaster I already own, of course. Hello Kitty Online will probably not topple WoW, though 30,000 subscribed beta testers isn’t too shabby. If it does end up beating out Blizzard, ignore this post so I can say I called it. Thank you for the overwhelming response! [Hello Kitty Online - Thanks Brian]
