In the last year or so we’ve started to see some EarthBound / MOTHER 2 references in more and more anime, and now we have another one! I’ll let Jeagle explain this one:
The show is “My Little Sister Can’t Be This Cute”, an anime with a protagonist who has a sort of obsession with games revolving around sisters. Dozens of other references to other games/anime with the word “Sister” somewhere in its title are also present. Among them is IMOUTO 2.
“Imouto” is Japanese for “little sister”, incidentally.
Besides the MOTHER 2 reference, do you recognize any other games? I recognize a couple but not all of them.

The yellow “Mintendu CS” game seems to be “Super Mario Sisters”. I also see “Sim Sister CS”
I also found 妹のためなら死ねる “Imouto no tame nara shineru”, which is a pun on 君のためなら死ねる “Kimi no tame nara shineru”, the original name for “Feel the Magic: XY/XX” (“Project Rub” in PAL regions)!
Final Sister IV is a great game. I just love the main character Cecile!
Wait, shows can get away with ripping off of Earthbound but Earthbound can’t get away with ripping off of other stuff?
@ Mr. Anon: In America.
Also, シスター・プリンシパル (Sister Principal) is an odd name for the PlayStation.
The very top “Super Siscom” game that has “2″ on it could very well be Seiken Densetsu 2 (Secret of Mana).
I remember the cover sleeves having a lot of green and trees on it.
The top one definitely is Seiken Densetsu 2, I have one sitting on the shelf next to me. I don’t recognize the first kanji though, so I’m not sure what the joke is.
Neat videogame references, although I find the concept of “My Little Sister Can’t Be This Cute” somewhat…icky, to say the least.
妹伝説 (imouto densetsu, or Sister Legend)
Hah, I just noticed there really are a lot of sister vg references here.
Sis-plus. Probably Love Plus, a DS dating game that seems like it would almost impossible to avoid hearing of in Japan. ![]()
I wonder if DC is Dragon Quest? Can’t really make fun of FF without making of DQ as well.
“an anime with a protagonist who has a sort of obsession with games revolving around sisters”
Are you shure this was not a Hentai or something ![]()
Ignoring that, I am still suprised we are still finding cameos today.

Final Fantasy IV,i see only 2 i regnize,other than the consoles,PS2 and DS,wheres Klonoa, FFVii,sonic, and Kingdom Hearts those are some of the best games invented!
Not a video game, but a vocaloid reference: Next to Imouto 2 is a doll that looks like Tako-Luka with brown hair.
The Siscom one’s a double whammy since it can both be a play on Famicom and be short for Sister Complex. :p

OMG! What Dr. Meat and Skullrama said– LIVE A LIVE reference!
Even a Final Fantasy IV reference..
Three of my favorite games parodied on one shelf!
Dammit, now I want gaming paraphernalia.

I bet the characters in the Imouto all lack a proper relationship with their sisters. And the second one’s father is a cell phone.
@SoreThumb
Your avatar looks familiar…
aren’t that girl and dog supussed to parody hewie and fiona from haunting ground?
@Mr. Anon: You were making a joke, IN AMERICA!
Wait, is the antagonist a guy or girl? If it’s a guy, then that’s just disgusting, but if it’s a girl… giggity.
Looking at Wikipedia, the two main characters are a brother and his younger sister [17 and 14, respectively]. Looking even closer at the plot, the younger sister is the one who likes the, erm, “little sister types” of, well, naughty games. The brother wasn’t into such games at all (at least, not before the events in the plot summary happened; part of the plot is her making him play a naughty game).
Saying “the protagonist” is a bit misleading, since it seems the show is from the brother’s point of view, but the sister is the one with all of those games and is a major character.
@blahmoomoo
Judging from the way you re-posted the plot summary, I can only assume this anime is pretty weird…

I watched the first and second episode yesterday. It’s pretty funny, and not TOO weird at the moment, thankfully. The art style is actually quite nice.
Well, I didn’t watch any episodes because I assumed it would be weird. I’m not into shows like that…

I see Final Fantasy IV, but I can’t read moonspeak…..
Yeah, the story is about a older brother who has a cute sister (but he has not interest in her), He then finds out that his younger sister plays the little sister games. Its not the older brothers, its his sisters.
I love Final Sister IV! next to Final Sister VII, it’s my favorite in the Final Sister series!
(I love how the logo even included the Kain)
I would LOVE to buy a Super Siscom! So I can finally play Final Sister IV or IMOUTA 2!
I see a few games like DC P.S., DC -the origin-, Strawberry Confusion!, Super Mario Sisters And IMOUTA 2. Most of the others aren’t in english or are to small to read.
