OPEN LETTER:

Estimated Madam Sharma, and Mister Booty.

I'm rewriting this letter, I had previously written for Mister Spencer for a huge reason. On December 26th, 2014, Microsoft decided to not reregister with the USPTO an IP I not only liked when I was a child, but I grew up with, on the original Xbox: Blinx The Time Sweeper, more specifically Blinx 2: Masters Of Time & Space.

Since I first wrote this letter, there have been multiple successful revivals and continuations of old franchises:

Crash Bandicoot:

N.Sane Trilogy - +20 million copies sold (https://x.com/i/status/1803820991555965395

Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled - +10 million copies sold (Confirmed by Activision and Beenox: https://gematsu.com

Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time - +5 million copies sold (Disclosed via Lead Design Portfolio: https://nintendolife.com

Spyro The Dragon:

Spyro: Reignited Trilogy - +11 million copies sold (https://resetera.com

Spyro: A Realm Beyond - +16 million views on the announcement trailer launched during Summer Games 2026 (https://x.com/i/status/2082874282401570943

Rare Replay - nearly 1 million physical copies sold, actually surpassing the UK charts since 1998 (https://www.vgchartz.com/game/85667/rare-replay

Yooka-Laylee - +1 million copies sold, best indie platformer revival so far (https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/a00icq/yooka_laylee_hits_1_million_copies

Even Bubsy the Bobcat, a franchise considered a meme ip, has had a revival announced and launched earlier this year (https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/05/22/bubsy-4d-xbox-launch

The very first Blinx is already still backwards compatible in Xbox One and Xbox Series X and S, even though Blinx 2's BWC ended in the Xbox 360.

I just wish the time manipulating cat can make a return and embrace the same level of nostalgia the big ones before him are enjoying nowadays. I'd personally be happy if at least Blinx 2's compatibility is expanded.

Sincerely, and best regards.

PURPOSE AND COMMUNITY DAY

This very petition has two main optional goals, as well as means of achievement to get into Microsoft and XBOX's sight.

The goals are, as mentioned in the open letter above:
Option A) a full up-to-date remaster or remake of both Blinx: The Time Sweeper, and Blinx 2: Masters Of Time & Space, with open possibility for a Blinx 3 game to wrap up the trilogy.
OR
Option B) an, at the absolute minimum, expansion of the Backwards Compatibility Program to include Blinx 2 in both Xbox One (Fat, S, and X), and Xbox Series (X/S) hardware, instead of it being left behind in Original Xbox and Xbox 360 hardware.

For either of these goals, I propose fans rile up behind the Blinx Community Day, on October 7th (much like Spyro Community Day on September 8th); and use up existing feline related events such as International Cat Day, on August 8th, so the Green X knows the orange sweeper isn't as forgotten as he seems to be. The petition's titular hashtag is to be included in posts during said events.

Let's not lose hope on him yet. He needs us.
