GameZine: 'Hello Kitty Online is coming to Brazil after the headline caught our eye. Yes, yes, calm down. We can't actually claim credit for the title, since the double entendre came by the way of press release distribution service GamesPress. Well done to them, because we most likely wouldn't have touched this story with a barge-pole otherwise. Sanrio Digital, the game's developer, wasn't actually happy with that strapline and asked GamesPress to remove it immediately. Of course, the game is targeted at the female tween market and the double entendre would not only be inappropriate to them, but it'd go straight over their head. Our current headline is in memory of that GamesPress wit.'
