Over the years, the number of Hello Kitty games has grown exponentially. Sanrio’s iconic bow-wearing feline friend managed to break out of Japanese culture and spread across the globe, getting just as popular in the US and Europe, which in turn spawned a plethora of adorable games and collaborations for us to enjoy. Here’s our comprehensive list of the best Sanrio games on Switch and mobile.
