VIZ ads were great - real & parody. For some reason I remember this one in particular from the back of one of their annuals...

I didn't even realise they were from the same series until you posted that, I didn't notice the holes in their heads on the PSP cover at first. I'm definitely going to get a copy of these games.

They didn't really try too hard with the TG-16 art I reckon. It pretty much all looks atrocious. especially next to some of the Japanese art...
