Capcom has already picked numerous fights with SNK, Marvel, Namco, the Tekken series, and even Professor Layton, but the publisher today announced arguably the most surprising crossover of all, Hello Kitty x Street Fighter. While the apparent feud between Sanrio's adorable Japanese feline and Capcom's posse of punch-drunk pugilists isn't deserving of a game just yet, the two companies today announced a partnership for cobranded merchandise featuring the franchises.

The line of merchandise will incorporate both brands' styles, with "a broad range" of items promised. The only specific treatment announced for the line was centered on the notion of Hello Kitty donning the familiar costumes of Capcom's fighting game stars. No mention was made of Badtz-Maru or Keroppi. The first Hello Kitty x Street Fighter merchandise is expected to hit stores in fall of 2012.

While Street Fighter certainly has a game industry pedigree, the Capcom series is a relative neophyte next to Hello Kitty when it comes to merchandizing. The Sanrio icon is just over half a century old and the face of the company with more than 50,000 items sold around the world, including perfumes, skateboards, cameras, Monopoly games, and car license plate bolt covers. In 1990, the amicable mascot even got her own pink-tinted Dreamcast console.

While it's unlikely this will expand to actual games, it is further proof that anything x Street Fighter beats Tekken.

Also, I absolutely expect Josh to don that image as his avatar. It would be the right thing to do.

*sigh* yeah. this is a major announcement, i guess. It would've been cool if it had been other Capcom characters, but Street Fighter kind of puts this in a boring corner. Now excuse me while i throw my Hello Kitty shoes and socks into a pile to douse with gasoline. I have to cleanse them.

The Hello Kitty shoes don't come in my size. I am PISSED.

I am way into this... I'm bummed I have to wait a year.

Whaaaaat, serious? The ones i got were sized kind of big and they told me they'd stretch. I ended up walking out with a full shoe size lower than what i'd normally wear because of it.

. . .
this is the only thing that could slightly cheer me up today.

My daughter will have ALL of it.

How could you not post this image? How could you!?

Chun Li has never looked less threatening. Or had her thighs more proportional.

Clearly you need shoes that match your Amps.

Don't pretend to know the magnitude of his rocking.

My Fender Deluxe goes up to 12! Not even joking.

Shame this is just merchandise and not an actual game. I'd much rather play this than that crappy Tekken game.

"But the Tekken game now has Lady Boys. How can you not want to play that?"

If they'd make a shirt of that jerkass looking penguin as Cody I'd totally buy one. It would be my first (and possibly last) nerdy t-shirt.

I'd buy a Sanrio V Capcom if it were Pocket Fighter style.

That's a silly name, and I don't feel bad for not knowing it.

I can still keep my F-chan card, right? Forgive-ah-ness preese

GTFO

You better know his name! It's BaDtz-Maru.

Also, I hate this. I don't like Hello Kitty mixed with ANYTHING, not even Street Fighter. I'm a purist.

Hello Kitty isn't a fighter, she likes to bake cookies for her friends and read books and sometimes travel. She likes to make people smile.

Just like Josh! I'm finally seeing the connection.

I'm at a loss for words.

But not text.

I understand Hello Kitty herself has a cat for a pet.

Wassupwitthat?

Modern day slavery.

She also likes to have fun with her friends by dressing up as her favourite Street Fighter characters.

Maybe Walt Disney liked the idea of naked retards.

Who doesn't?

Preorders!

At 33 years old I'm going to Hot Topic to buy a Hello Kitty plushie.

That's what daughters are for. Drag her along for instant unspoken justification.

Good idea!

That Zangief one is so good, I would get the triple pack just for that one.

Frothing.

Oh jesus.

I want that My Melody Cammy.

Yeah. Ummm. I'm going to have to buy that fightstick

Probably an iPhone case too

I don't understand the price of the iPhone cases.

Yeah I just noticed that. Fuck that bullshit. Hopefully they'll be available from places like amazon at more reasonable prices

I'm already hoping for a Amazon lightning deal on the Hello Kitty stick.

It's tempting, but I have to keep reminding myself that a Darkstalkers version is likely coming.

edit: There's also the potential issue of cross-generation compatibility. MS and Sony better not dick that up.

I've modded a ps3 and xbox stick so if one gets it right and the other didn't I'm set.

They will both use proprietary hardware that you'll have to install in your old sticks. Bet on it.

Josh!

I'm finding it hard not to bite on that for a PS3 stick. Though really I should just get a stick dual modded.

Ditto. The fact that my 360 stick has Seimitsu parts, which are better for shooters than fighters, isn't helping.

Ugh. Highly tempted to get the ps3 one at that price

I'm thinking about it, I'm seriously thinking about it. I already have two 360 sticks and one ps3 stick.

So now I have to buy this huh? Great. Fuck you, Yoshi. I was saving up for a new neck for my tele, AND I ALREADY HAVE AN AWESOME JOYSTICK.

Will manly Murican buttons fit in this fucker? I can't get down with that convex nonsense.

No.

Life is full of disappointments.

Leave 1960's British skinhead culture out of this.

So I got these... For my kid, yeah.
Attachment 70593

Where do they have them? I still haven't seen them anywhere.

Also, Batkitty

My local comic shop had them, and a huge Bison Kitty. I wanted that, but not for $30.

Also I have the madcatz fight stick of this variety. Everyone loves it. You go to a tournament whatever and every woman, man, and child is like "Oh is that the madcatz stick."

These things are the real deal as a toy line.

Want.

I almost got that fight stick, but then it doubled in price. The stick and buttons are too close for such a large base too. wtf.

Looks fucking sick though. Like my Hello Kitty skateboard I will never ride, I'd probably never use that stick.

Josh: if Madcatz has them and runs another b1g1 sale you want to go in together?

I also got it Dual Modded so it's like a $200 stick now. If you really want the stick btw it'll probably be $100 this weekend since there's another major tournament going on.

It's low on the list. :(

Probably? Depends on cost.

Ah :( well I think it's too popular to go away so it'll wait.

Very loosely related but not worth its own thread:

Hello Kitty air hockey from Sega.

!!!!!!!! i want one!

Pretty sweet.

Why do I have an erection?

Did you just watch Equestria Girls?

God those things are horrible. My mother-in-law gave my daughter some for Christmas.

I wish these weren't $90 each:

Attachment 74333

That's fugly at $1.

That is stupid expensive.
