Yesterday’s announcement of Sanrio’s collaboration with Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp was a welcome one, especially for all of us who have been longtime Hello Kitty fans. Lucky for us, we knew even then that we wouldn’t have to wait long to see the new items land in the game, as…
It’s looking more and more likely that a new Super Monkey Ball game is rolling over the horizon. After a Japanese trademark was found back in May for Tabegoro! Super Monkey Ball (the first word roughly translating to “ripe” in the context of food), we’ve got a new age rating…
