The difference being that Ice Climbers and Kirby had to deal with monsters. Hello Kitty was never meant to fight. Just be cute and best friends with everyone. Just another reason I don't see Sanrio letting a game happen.
ROB and Mr. Game & Watch were never meant to fight anything, but they are in that game... Fighting.
As stupid as it may sound, I would actually enjoy beating up Hello Kitty in a fighting game.
author=Ratty524They're also not really quite so popular among little three-year-olds. Most kids that young wouldn't even know who these characters are. Much like Snake, they're more of a throwback for older fans from the 80's. So they tend to be more popular with an older audience that would enjoy fighting games.author=MissMaggotROB and Mr. Game & Watch were never meant to fight anything, but they are in that game...

Not saying that Hello Kitty isn't popular with an older audience, but because smaller children are a large part of the fanbase, Sanrio is likely to be a lot more careful what they do with Hello Kitty.
author=psy_wombatsDon't get me wrong, it would be fun, I think. But it seems more like something a fan might make as a parody rather than an official game produced by Capcom and Sanrio.
Am I the only one who'd want to PLAY as Hello Kitty in a fighter?

Oh I doubt that.
You realize that was actually intended to be a shoulder massager.
Sanrio can't really be blamed if other people with other things on their mind found another use for it. Very similar to the Harry Potter broomstick toy. It was meant for kids to pretend to ride around on and be goofy with. But some people realized 'hey this vibrates! I can do something else with it!'
Also part of an article on the product.

When Sanrio found out that the shoulder massager was being sold as a sex toy, they claimed to be disgusted, especially since the Sanrio name and Hello Kitty character were on it. They immediately contacted Genyo Co. and asked them to stop. The Hello Kitty vibrator had at this point gained cult status and was selling like hotcakes and Genyo Co. had no intention of letting a hugely profitable product be taken off the shelf just because people were using it to stimulate other parts than intended. Sanrio tried to revoke Genyo’s licensing rights, but Genyo refused saying they had a valid license that had been approved and had spent much money developing the product.
The fight between the two companies continued until Genyo Co.’s top officials found themselves in tax trouble for some shady business dealings they were involved with. This gave Sanrio the reason they needed to revoke the license and Sanrio took the “shoulder massagers” off the market. The shoulder massagers that were still in outlets were soon bought up and sold as collector items sometimes reaching over $100 on eBay

author=Adon237I bite my thumb at thou!. I completely disagree with you all the way.
lol Megaman is horrid, but HK is even more.
Griever, that is adorable.
Also, I can't say I know which would make more money. And Megaman Legends 3 would have been awesome. I would love to have tried it. But I do agree that there are some, not all, who are watching Capcom like a hawk and blowing things like this out of proportion. Don't get me wrong, I'm irritated with Capcom too, but this Street Fighter Hello Kitty merchandise thing really doesn't have much if anything at all to do with these bad moves they've made. Really, they could easily develop a game AND make the toys given that game designers and toy designers are completely different people who are working seperately on seperate projects. They just happen to be working on behalf of the same company. So saying that they cancelled a game so they could make toys(not all are saying this, but I have seen a few who have) really makes no sense. It's not related in anyway aside from the same company being involved.

EDIT: Megaman fans are just annoyed that plushies and stuff like this are going to make more money than the cancelled Megaman game ever would. UMADMEGABROS?
Megaman fans don't give a shit about this. Mega Man fans, including myself, am annoying that Capcom backed out of something they promised multiple times for no real reason and were pretty much 99% finished; it's a simple case of saying one thing and blatantly doing another as opposed to something just being cancelled.
I have no real issue with a Hello Kitty/Street Fighter thing, spiting one game in favor of another is megavirgin childish retarded. If I had my way everyone would get what they like.
Capcom isn't really being subtle about their dicking of Mega Man, and fans, who are shareholders of a product, don't really like it. Everyone is noticing it, man.
