I am passionately voicing out for a concept close to my heart. I am an enthusiast of the Yakuza video game, particularly the character of Nancy, the crawfish, and her partner Olivia. Their tale resonates with me, and I believe it would become an exciting premise for a new MetroidVania game.

Known for their clever blend of gameplay elements from Metroid and Castlevania, MetroidVania games have risen in popularity over the years, bringing enjoyment to countless gamers worldwide. Given the unique story and immense potential of Nancy and Olivia's characters, I firmly believe that creating a new game built around these characters would be both a magnetic pull for existing fans and a welcome draw for new gamers.

Let us consider the Yakuza: Like a Dragon video game series. Since its inception, the series has sold over 14 million units globally, highlighting the potential consumer base for a MetroidVania around Nancy and Olivia (source: SEGA consolidated business report).

Furthermore, investing in this concept can contribute to the diverse representation of female characters in video gaming, something that is increasingly sought after in the industry. According to the Entertainment Software Association, 41% of video gamers are female (source: ESA's 2020 Essential Facts About the Video Game Industry).

Ultimately, launching a MetroidVania for Nancy and Olivia under the title "Like a Crustacean" will blend the cherished elements of MetroidVania's platform-adventure genre with Yakuza's compelling characters, bridging two gaming worlds for an exciting, inclusive adventure. I urge you to consider this petition and grant Nancy and Olivia their turn in the gaming spotlight. Sign this petition now to support the development of "Like a Crustacean".
