Hello Kitty Island Adventure: Nintendo Switch Version First Impressions

We got to try out the upcoming Nintendo Switch version of Hello Kitty Island Adventure, the cozy hit that first dropped on Apple Arcade last year. We found a lot to like - including every update the Apple version's had so far - but we also came away concerned about the Switch version's framerate.

Butters from South Park must be very happy today.

[@ispinrecords]

Beat me to it.

[@Da5thProject]

I'm happy😊

[@MK_1Ultra]

Lol butters died

[@dreamer2anime]

😂😂

[@Viviebby]

What did butters say? 🤣

[@nickl9514]

They need to put butters in this as a villager

[@sebastianwahl9403]

Butters announced it 18 Years ago!

[@0_Gay_0]

Hello kitty island adventure existed around that time it just doesn’t anymore

[@MasGeneric]

Maybe I’ll play it just for Butters

[@Neerano]

Butters' verry own video game

[@nathanntan]

So happy it's being ported to switch!!! 😌❤️

[@Kazanov1936]

The true WOWkiller

[@SkateAnnoy-b1s]

why does it look like it runs with 2 fps tho

[@puffyeato]

bc its switch lol

[@TheLastLineLive]

You expected more from the Switch?

[@ipadbossbaby4558]

​@@puffyeato literally a phone game. Idk why youre implying its a power issue and not an optimization one.

[@tokiibun]

They have a looong time to optimise it, so hoping it looks lots better by the time it comes out

[@sooyiaplee8182]

What the hell is Butter ?

[@chuckyfan6696]

@@sooyiaplee8182 u have obviously never seen south park

[@DethCatt]

Please release on android 😭

[@Sleepy_Cabbage]

My mom would love this game, except for the fact it's a game cause she doesn't games :7

[@trig1988x]

south park should sue rofl im kidding but still tho

[@arjunkaycee2517]

Better than Metroid Prime 4

[@saras4886]

Why are you being so condescending the whole time towards this game? Like, sure there's performance issues but that's expected for a preview, but why be condescending towards the gameplay?? It looks SO fun, guess you just aren't one of the girlies iykyk

[@ipadbossbaby4558]

The review seemed pretty positive? Idk what youre onto. Girlies deserve games that run well anyways.

[@ButteredBread201]

And Butters. ​@@ipadbossbaby4558

[@JamieBauthor]

Looks like a Hello kitty mash up with animal crossing. Super cute and chill.

[@jonathanserrata4845]

This is wayyyyyyy better than World of Warcraft

[@CosmicMitsuke]

lol 😂

[@elishanahir]

Yay!!!!! I’m so excited!!! I’m obsessed with the Apple Arcade version. All the characters are super adorable. 💕

[@ewidontlikeyou]

Hoping for the tamagotchi arcade game next

[@LexxiKitty]

Yessss!!!!

[@DOOM1971]

Butters is excited for hello kitty island adventures

[@davethibault6734]

The Publishers would be wise to get Matt Stone and Trey Parker in on the marketing for this game.

[@lankthedank6931]

>says he plays as a cat >shows rabbit

[@vaclavsach8537]

Can you keep you progress that you made on apple devices?

[@gabriellaarchive]

that's what I'm wondering

[@Mabayu]

Most likely no, unless they implement a specific account based signin system to work for both devices other than Apple signin.

[@skyrimwarrior]

Cool, I’m checking this game out, because I’ll love to check it out, just for a South Park character named Butters.

[@RiskiSatria666]

Is it release yet?

[@iporush1667]

wrold of warcraft nerds are gonna buy it jsut to have an excuse when they cant play WoW

[@wayneadams9102]

BUTTERS!

[@Himikogaming92]

Excited to get it 💖💖💖💖💖😻🙀🐱😿🐱🎉🎉❤️🎮

[@ZeeCH_Music]

Wait.. it will be released on PC next year? where is the announcement?

[@uncrooked]

Just deleteted my 15year old WoW account for this

[@disebin5941]

Parece melhor q Animal Crossing

[@theendoftheworldasweknowit9894]

This looks so much better than animal crossing.

[@NikkiIslandAdventure]

This is so exciting!

[@JavenarchX]

Is Avril Lavigne going to show up in this?

[@soullessrights]

Quick mods put butters in the game!!!

[@schowd31]

Cartman: "F#$king Butters" If an Apple Arcade game like this and TMNT Splintered Fate can come to Switch, here's hoping Sonic Dream Team can do the same later on.

[@a17yearoldonyoutubeluigi]

Better than World of Warcraft

[@松萧劲]

anything is better than that nerd fest

[@gonzalot.605]

Can't wait for the PC version!

[@qwertz143]

hope there's cross-save

[@Aleksssssssss]

This is better than World of Warcraft

[@alelobrijelo]

I'm so happy to see Hangyodon in this lineup!

[@hellobookworm]

Thank you for mentioning the frame rate drop. That killed ACNH for me (because it gives me headaches), so I'll be skipping this game on Switch, sadly.

[@cloudcity4194]

What's great about Hello Kitty is it's just like Taylor Swift. It's so big, it doesn't matter what the haters say, the fans will still be there.

[@luxxrayy]

Hello Kitty deserves better than to be compared to Taylor Swift.

[@cloudcity4194]

@@luxxrayy see... prime example. Neither Hello Kitty, nor Taylor Swift care about what you have to say or if you like them.

[@JessG_20]

​@cloudcity4194 if you were genuinely so unbothered over people who don't like her, you wouldn't comment

[@unic0rnhunter]

say hello kitty island adventure one more time.

[@TheAllSeeingEye2468]

Think the matt and trey will get money for this thievery

[@K0R4UPT_N01Z3]

Is Gloomy Bear in it

[@ezy360]

Lesss goooooo

[@RobertWWD]

Butters should be in the game as an Easter egg for this invention.

[@absolutelydark123]

world of warcraft killer : )

[@LIUKKAKE]

What are the chances of getting a Butters DLC skin?

[@Chiakiandmikanarebest]

Glad I’m not the only one who immediately thought of butters when this came up

[@KaeMcSpadden]

Thanks, Butters!!!

[@pipikakachu]

It's actually better on the phone. Also, the phone supports controllers.

[@pipikakachu]

@@jaybee4288 relax hahahahaha

[@Mabayu]

Switch also supports controllers, because theyre built and sold with one :3
