Just today we filed our review for Around the World With Hello Kitty and Friends, a competent 3DS minigame collection for young children. The exciting news for fans of the franchise is that Hello Kitty Kruisers is coming to the Wii U this year, which is great for young gamers but unlikely to satisfy our Mario Kart 8 cravings.
We are admittedly a little suspicious of this title as it spells cruisers with a K, and it's set to come to iOS and Android platforms as well as Wii U. The screenshots are underwhelming, too, though do show a combination of flying and boat racing that brings to mind both Mario Kart 7 and Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. It's a popular franchise with children, however, and with the right price could well be worth a punt.
Still, it ain't Mario Kart 8...

I'm sure Mario Kart 8 is now quaking in its boots!
I'll wait for Mario Kart.
This will be the awesome. Look it even has Rainbow Road and everything... @Barbiegurl777 start your engine!!!
Know what this has over Mario Kart 8?
"Hello Kitty Kruisers is coming to the Wii U this year"
That will be enough for some people. And I think the screenshots on Desctructoid look just fine, though I didn't see anybody drifting and I have a hard time these days playing any kart games w/o drifting.
For $20 in the bargain bin I'ld pick it up.
Mario Kart 8 is to late to the party. Hello Kitty is now going to steal all their customers
Really a rainbow track in space? U cant be more obvious XD
my daughter will want this.... and she'll end up getting it. which is fine... here is to hoping its a digital download.
a diddy kong racing clone... wat
Well, while short, Hello Kitty games always have a fine quality.
But does it have KISS Hello Kitty skins? That's the dividing line between derision and purchase.
Could be decent,I mean they can't balls up a kart racer.Can they?
I wonder if there'll be a Hello Kitty branded Wii U in Japan. I'm pretty sure there were a few Dreamcasts with HK on it that are some of the most valuable consoles ever made.
Who needs Mario Kart 8 when you got Hello Kitty Kruisers!
The blue car on the left is in Mario Kart 7... D:
The track design (map) looks pretty simple... :s , not buying it BUT will look for a video
This really looks fun. If the gameplay is good and the game isn't really expensive, I might end up getting this to keep me occupied until Mario Kart 8.
Is it digital?
I have no interest in the game though.
I kinda want this... I hope there is online multiplayer
Can't hurt to have this on WiiU. It's another fun little game by the looks of it. I'm in. :3
It looks far too minimalistic and cheap to be a retail game. If it's released in the eShop for $20, I'll admit that I may be inclined to splurge (I'd be sold if it supports 5 players locally).
@Rief Ever see that roller-blading beat-em-up Hello Kitty game on GCN? It's not great but it's pretty darn playable if you're in the right mindset for it.
The hello Kitty fighter would of been AWESOME!
LOL! I'll stick with Sonic and All-Star Racing Transformed until Mario Kart 8 arrives.
Sad that the Wii U gets junk like this instead of games like GTA 5.
I'll buy it, my daughter loves all these three things - kart racing games, the Wii U and Hello Kitty.
That screen shot looks better than the Sega and Sonic kart games to me. I got a 4 pack of Transformed on PC for just $12 thanks to Green Man Gaming, and as long as this isn't too expensive on Wii U, it will be a very good addition to the fairly small racing genre on the system.
It's games like this that make Nintendo flop...I love Nintendo but come on guys..imagine talking to your friends..." Hey i've been playing BF4 what have you been playing?"
"WOO HELLO KITTY KART!"...T_T
