Capcom vs. SNK 2 Fake Spotted in Anime 16bit Sensation: Another Layer

An anime named 16bit Sensation: Another Layer started airing yesterday. It tells the tale of Konoha Akisato, who loves bishoujo games and is an aspiring illustrator. Her life isn’t going as she’d hoped until a fateful event in the game shop.

It’s a usual occurrence in most anime to feature some fake brands that look like real ones just to escape the licensing fees or accusations of inappropriate product placement. But the creators of 16bit Sensation: Another Layer went above and beyond when crafting fake video game boxes for PlayStation 2… excuse me, PlayStasis 2. There are games like Metal Gay Solid (Metal Gear Solid), Kingdom to Heart (Kingdom Hearts), Grand Theft Manual (Grand Theft Auto), .pack// (.hack//), and many others. Our attention was drawn to CASCOM VS SNT 2, which is a fake for Capcom vs. SNK 2.

Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001 was released in 2001 for Arcade, SEGA Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube. Nowadays, the game has a cult following.

16bit Sensation: Another Layer anime is made by studio Silver. You can watch it on Crunchyroll.
