You’re Just In Time For A Game Boy Micro Unboxing
In 2005, Nintendo shut the door on the original Game Boy with the minuscule Game Boy Micro, a brilliantly engineered rectangle of compromise. It wouldn’t run original Game Boy or Game Boy colour titles — just Game Boy Advance games — but boy was it pretty. Many people hated it. I just bought a new one, and I want to share it with you.
The Breast Cancer Battle Is A Boon To Pink-Coloured Peripheral Lovers
In 2007, my older sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. She went through hell fighting against the malignant neoplasm — radiation, chemotherapy, a mastectomy, follow-up surgeries and reconstruction. She won her battle eventually, but the process was painful for the entire family. It’s safe to say I hate breast cancer.
The Nintendo 3DS: If In Doubt… Make It Pink
Nothing kickstarts the sales of a Nintendo handheld like the release of a brand new colour. And if that colour is pink? Well, damn — you have a phenomenon on your hands.
New Ninety-Nine Nights II Screens Aren’t So Pretty In Pink
These seven new screenshots from Konami’s Ninety-Nine Nights are prime evidence that the words ‘pretty’ and ‘pink’ don’t always go hand-in-hand.
Nothing Says “I Love You” Like Pink And Blue Wii Remotes
While announcing its early 2010 software lineup this morning, Nintendo also announced a February 14th North American release date for the pink and blue Wii remotes, giving the significant others of Nintendo fans the perfect Valentine’s Day gift idea.
Hello Kitty Online Opens Its Heart, Servers For Valentine’s Day
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.
Hello Kitty And Friends Talk Hello Kitty Online
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 Becomes DS PDA
This morning’s giant pink wake-up call comes courtesy of European publisher Nobolis. They just announced Hello Kitty Daily for the Nintendo DS, coming to Europe in October. It’s not so much a game as it is a personal digital assistant, allowing girls and ridicule-resistant boys to keep track of important dates, keep up with their spending money, take notes, manage contacts, and even calculate numbers, all with that trademark Hello Kitty flair.
It’s actually a rather good idea. PDA software is an excellent fit for the DS, plus it would give you an excuse to carry it around everywhere you go. You wouldn’t look so odd going into your workplace bathroom with your DS if it doubled as a PDA. Of course you probably wouldn’t want to be rocking Hello Kitty at the office, but the point still stands.
Hit the jump for a shot from the title pasted into a pink DS, as required by international law.
