While Call of Duty does have a hardcore following here in Japan, the game isn’t nearly as big as it is in the West. Well, here’s one way to change that. Or not.
Originally uploaded on 9Gag.com late last month, the image has been making the rounds online today in Japan. On 2ch, net users praised the faux box cover. “Just with this packaging alone, they’d sell a ton,” wrote one 2ch commenter.
“I bet this would have a hundred different types of underpants as DLC,” one commenter quipped. “I’d buy this,” chimed another.
Some commenters, however, thought a game like this could exist. “This is too creepy,” wrote one 2ch user. Creepy, maybe, but as you can see, the image is chock full of anime memes.

That rating!
Cracked me up.
Edit: Oh wait, I thought you meant the rating from IGN, not the ESRB. I didn’t even read that at first. OK, that’s still kinda funny, though, given the theme.
No I meant ERSB. I tuned out the IGN one 😉
You know, as much as I hate a lot of anime tropes and the reaction a lot of people have to the whole industry. I still find it a little insulting to try and cater by simplifying their interests to little girls in short skirts.
I agree, although it’s a bit of a self-reinforcing cycle. The anime audience is summed up as liking young girls in short skirts, which they then start to believe they should be interested in which leads to more media adopting the image. That being said though, the West has the same problem with everything reduced to a tanned blonde in a bikini.
Edit: Eloquence.
Believe it or not (I know, it’s difficult to imagine), games like this do exist.
Credit the guy who actually made these, perhaps?
