HELLO KITTY: ROLLER RESCUE – THE OFFICIAL VIDEOGAME ROLLS ONTO A CONSOLE NEAR YOU THIS SEPTEMBER

XPLOSIV Games celebrate Hello Kitty's 30th birthday by announcing their forthcoming European release of the officially licensed 'Hello Kitty' game

Have you ever imagined yourself to be Hello Kitty or any of her group of cool pals? Well now you no longer have to only imagine, you can be Hello Kitty in Hello Kitty Roller Rescue, the first, officially licensed Hello Kitty 3D-action-adventure game, scheduled to be released by Xplosiv Games across Europe on all console formats on September 9th 2005 (RRP £19.99).

Hello Kitty originated in Japan in the early seventies and has become a cult phenomenon ever since.
