Pizza Hut Invades Phantasy Star Portable 2

Pizza Hut Invades Phantasy Star Portable 2

As if attacking the literal interpretation of "good taste" wasn't enough, Pizza Hut has signed a deal with Sega to bring pizza themed equipment to Japan's Phantasy Star Portable 2.

Not only does the promotion offer players a chance to decorate their in-game living spaces with Pizza Hut's amorphous Japanese spokesblob "Cheese-Kun," players are also able to equip themselves with a shield and sword that resemble a cardboard pizza box and steaming metal pizza pan, respectively.

So where does one acquire such epic adverquipment (yes, I just invented that word)? From Pizza Hut's newest location, located within the virtual, far-futuristic world of Phantasy Star. Who needs suspension of disbelief when you have generic, omnipresent fast food?

I want to be thankful that stuff like this could never happen here in The States, but that's just not true. If Pizza Hut (or McDonalds or Coca-Cola or Girls Gone Wild) were to show up at Sega's San Francisco branch with a big bag of cash, you better believe the next Sonic game would feature drunk coeds, greasy fries and Coke Zero.

That just looks silly. If I buy the game, I am not touching those items.

I thought in the future Taco Bell wins the Franchise Wars?!? I just don't even know what is real anymore.

Taco Bell is part of KentuckyTacoHut.

Neither am I. I'll stick with my frying pan and electric sword, thank you.
[small]I'm not sure if either of those weapons are in Phantasy Star Portable, but I'm perfectly fine with the older games.[/small]

I believe you are referring to Kentucky John's Taco Hut. They have Long John Silver's too.

Here's hoping that Pizza the Hutt turns up in Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Sonic Meets Leisure Suit Larry? Thats so many types of wrong it might just work

 

[Arbitrary Cidin]

That actually make a Sonic game good this decade.

This somehow depresses me as much as seeing Gamestop ads in Prototype... It could have been any other ad but Gamestop and it wouldn't have bothered me. Now I am going to see... Wait, I don't play games like this. I AM SAVED!!!

But for how long? *gasp*

You know what the worst thing is? They probably have some variation of those which are the strongest weapons and armours in the game.

 

[Amnestic]

You know, there was a spoof of this in the Lucky Star OVA, which is all the more intriguing since this is new news. Life immitating art?

Reminds me of Code Geass...

Oh thats great, nice reference.
OT: Isn't this a japanese game? Seems to me that if your form japan and your not selling out you don't exist. Just look at Metal Gear Solid with its Apple products, Playboy, and lets not forget this....

You're not the only one.

 

[Doktor Merkwurdigliebe]

Dayyuum that's one ugly weapon set.

 

[hamster mk 4]

I wonder if the competitors pay people to Grief in Pizza Hut armor. Nothing makes me want to buy Dominos more than getting Tea Bagged by a guy in Pizza Hut Armor.

Same here.

Hmm not sure if that's still referencing the SP episode (it's been awhile since I've seen it) but I've always pronounced places like that as KenTacoHut, flows off the tongue better.

Anyways OT; That's just ridiculous advertising. I hope that there's some sort of pizza paddle that does +102394 damage with every hit and has a ridiculous battle line
