Hello Kitty to Make Special Appearance at Apple Union Square

Yes, I can easily dismiss Hello Kitty’s appearance at Apple Union Square. Why wouldn’t I? She is as irrelevant to me as BTS, Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift or U2 showing up there. Or a new Apple car, fridge or thermometer.

But I won’t.

Hello Kitty is the second largest media franchise in the world, behind Pokemon and right above Mickey himself.

Don’t forget Apple’s game “Hello Kitty Adveture Island”. Sure, it’s a “cozy” game with no shooting, massive horde of zombies or ridiculously hard combat. But it’s gaining massive traction with the rest of the world that don’t want your usual games. And it’s EXCLUSIVE.

“Cozy” games like this and Animal Crossing are the silent elephant in the room no one wants to admit. It’s massive enough for a similar game in the yakuza franchise to show up.

This just shows Apple is serious about gaming. If you don’t like this game, just wait for Death Stranding, No Man’s Sky or Resident Evil.

Until Apple can get Charzard, Bulbasaur or Nurse Joy to show up, Hello Kitty isn’t that bad. 😏

P.S. Apple should really have gotten Aggresuko. She is who we all are.

Aggrestuko is familiar to anyone who has worked in a Japanese office for a buta/pig, Probably some of the Sanrio executives would be right there being smashed in the game.

This may be the most controversial take I've seen in any MacRumors comment section. 😲
