Hello Kitty Roller Rescue Video Game from Namco

Posted on May 2, 2005

The little kitty that you see everywhere has a new game. Namco plans to release Hello Kitty Roller Rescue exclusively for the Nintendo GameCube in August 2005. The 3D game is is 90% action and 10% puzzle-solving. It includes Hello Kitty, Badtz-Maru and other popular Sanrio characters.

Here is a description of the story line from Namco:

The menacing Block-O who dreams of conquering the universe leaves his planet, Planet Cube, in search of his next target. Unexpectedly, Block-O discovers that the inhabitants of Earth like to give out gifts. Once the gifts are received, gift boxes are usually thrown away. Misinterpreting the gift box as his beloved kind, Block-O resentfully dispatches troops to invade Earth to win justice for his fellow cubes.

Block-O sounds like a disturbed alien and a formidable villain for Hello Kitty. We hope she is prepared.
