A Machine Request

[teachermaniac]

First off - this request is not for me, it is for my 17 year old niece.

Is there a Hello Kitty Pachinko machine and if so, can it be had in the U.S.? She's mad for this theme and would potentially get into the Pachi hobby if one was available.

She's a bit of a Japanophile and loves my Pachinkos.

As a side question, what is the percentage of men to women involved in the Pachi hobby?

Haven't seen Hello Kitty, but there is Sanyo's Nyan Nyan Paradise, if you can find one.

I doubt that Sanrio would be giving a license for that.
If they would, a pachinko would have existed already for a long time, as way too many women like hello kitty over there

[compirate]

I dunno, they've given the license to everything else!

And a few that are a tad adult to post here (personal 'neck' massager? )

there's an unlicensed one i've seen online only but the hello kitty character is kind of shoddy being that it isn't a licensed product hahahahaha from a Pachinko parlor in Kyoto take a look:

Good memory!

Looks to be a restaurant themed game:

there you go!!! hahahaha I knew it couldn't really be a hello kitty but the character looked somewhat similar hahahahahaha damn you're good compirate

[compirate]

I think it's supposed to be more of a 'Lucky Cat' thing.

There's another one, can't remember what it is at the moment, that has a cat above the LCD and reaches down with it's paw during some reaches.

Found it Hard to find, even in Japan, I'd say.

And another cat/dog themed one

[SikNLow]

hahahaha the second set actually looks cool! nice finds!

don't know if you can switch a fake kitty for the hello kitty your niece want.

you can end up in BIIIIGGGGGGGG trouble hehehehehe

well talking about Hello Kitty, here is a video, bad recording (cell phone), turn the volume up, it worth watching it:

I am quiet surprised too that they don't have one. Our 2 1/2 year old loves Hello Kitty and if they did have a HK pachinko I would probably be allowed to bring another in the house.

There is a stuffed Hello Kitty with a pachinko ball

ハローキティ = Hello Kitty

パチンコ = pachinko

read somewhere that in late 2006 Sega Sammy and Sanrio are tied together somehow (one owns shares of the other). Perhaps one is in the works? It takes a while to develop and get past the powers that be.

If you do a search for CRハローキティ, a lot of stuff comes up, mostly conjecturing, I think.

I/We actually got those hello kitty phone charms...

It's also my girlfriend's avatar : PachiTalk

I bet if a Hello Kitty pachinko ever happens, we'll be having one
