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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
