Hello Kitty Island Adventure heads to retail in March

The long-awaited Switch release of Hello Kitty Island Adventure arrived on the Nintendo Switch eShop last week. But if you’re hoping for a physical edition, don’t worry—that’s coming too!

Hello Kitty Island Adventure – Deluxe Edition will launch in Australia on March 25, 2025. It includes three different bundles of deluxe-themed goodies: the Event Bundle, the Starter Bundle, and the Crafting Bundle.

With over 100 hours of gameplay, Hello Kitty Island Adventure supports multiplayer and, despite its mobile origins, features absolutely no microtransactions.

It’s available to preorder now from EB Games, JB Hi-Fi, The Gamesmen and Amazon. If you can’t wait until March, it’s available on the eShop right now.
