"We are very excited to bring 'Hello Kitty' to life and give fans the chance to interact with her and other Sanrio character favorites in a delightful adventure."

Hello Kitty Roller Rescue is a 3D action-adventure game in which players must take control of Hello Kitty and friends in their attempt to thrwart the evil plans of Block-O.

It is due out in August in America.
