Black Ops II Box Art looks like Oni Box Art - Pogue-Mahone - 11-24-2012 11:33 AM Not a worthy of a Did You Know, but just something I find strangely funny. I just happened to randomly put my copy of Oni next to the new Black Ops II box, and noticed a strange similarity: I'm not sure if it's an homage or a strange coincidence, but I just thought it was interesting and wanted to share it with everyone.

Good spot though. RE: Black Ops II Box Art looks like Oni Box Art - retrolinkx - 11-27-2012 09:14 AM You know if we're going to link random things together. Did you Know In Austin Powers, the Power's family is a homage to Metal Gear? It's true my dad works for Konami.
