Before going on any further, there is something I wish and need to address. I perfectly understand that the developers over at Nintendo are very busy on current projects for the Wii U, so should they stumble across this petition, I want them to know that I do not want them to feel as if I am pressuring or forcing them into this idea right away. If they decide to go along with what I offer, I will not demand or request that they jump into the project right away. I have patience and would not want to jeopardize any of their projects by making them take up a new one right away. Should they not decide to go with it in general, I can understand that they have reasons for the actions they take. Of course, I understand that Namco Bandai has a say in this as well, and that they may be working on current projects as well, so they too apply to the same case I laid out for Nintendo. Thank you for taking this minute to hear that out. Now, without furtherado, permit me to demonstrate what I have.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no doubt that Fire Emblem is one of Nintendo's most popular franchises, having a massive cult of fans flowing through the fandom and the lore of the series. The release of Fire Emblem: Awakening greatly boosted sales of the Nintendo 3DS, a sure sign of the popularity of the series. It could almost be said that Fire Emblem: Awakening alone gave the 3DS the kickstart it needed to start selling popularly amongst the crowd of gamers. Now it's time for the Wii U to rise up with the 3DS. With the upcoming releases of highly anticipated games for the Wii U (Super Smash Bros, Bayonetta 2, X, Mario Kart 8, Super Mario 3D World, just to name a few), it certainly would not hurt for a Fire Emblem game to be developed for the Wii U.

I am starting this petition to help get the word out there of an idea that I feel would help boost the Wii U's sales. Put simply, the idea is as followed: Nintendo and Namco Bandai team up to develop a Fire Emblem fighting game for the Wii U. And yes, it is exactly what it sounds like. Imagine Soul Calibur, but with Fire Emblem characters. Not characters from just one specific game, but from the series in general. Fire Emblem characters from different games in the series being thrown together into what may be the ultimate Fire Emblem crossover to date.

Storywise as to why these crossovers are possible, I see that the story could easily be molded to be a follow-up to the story and ideal of Awakening, with the base idea of time travel and alternate futures, pasts, and realities being existent there. I see a story that could be molded into something along the lines of Grima from an alternate future or past, as well as villains from the different Fire Emblem games, crossing beyond the borders of time and space and entering into different timelines, which causes this crossover to occur.

However, if the style of 3D fighting game does not seem the kind that Fire Emblem should be treated to, let it be known that they are always welcome to at least consider a 2D-styled Fire Emblem fighting game. And please, let it be known as of now: I am not trying to force Nintendo, Intelligent Studios, Namco Bandai, or Project Soul into any decision they may not want to make. I am merely throwing this idea out there as a suggestion on how to perchance improve the Wii U's sales.

Now, the final idea I feel I should wrap up with is the icing on the cake, if you will. The vision of Namco Bandai incorporating their Character Creation system into this game, allowing players to create their very own custom characters into the Fire Emblem world to play as, going as far as to even giving players enough equipment and materials to work with that they can recreate their Avatars from Fire Emblem: Awakening, from the body build, voice, hair style, color, and so on.

As stated before, I feel that this idea, should it be possible, would help boost Wii U sales alongside the other upcoming titles this year and the following. If anything, it could very well serve as an extra encouragement to those who do not yet own a Wii U to consider purchasing one, as well as an enjoyable entry into the Fire Emblem series for all the fans to enjoy.
