There is hundreds of political petitions too.

Exactly.  This is not an either/or situation.  Whether you think petitions will help or not, everyone is free to sign the petitions they want to and ignore the others (another of our Western privileges).  Maybe I'm being harsh now, but by returning to this thread in order (essentially) to repeat your earlier comments in a thread which had been dormant for more than a month seems like little more than childish attention seeking.

I like Hitman, I'd buy it

Then please sign the petition and spread the word.  Thanks!

Ya... sorry to come off so harsh!

No worries.

In my experience petitions never very rarely work. Not to mention whether a developer/publisher makes a particular game for a particular consoles comes down to whether it makes viable business sense for them. The Hitman franchise is developed by IO Interactive for Eidos who are owned by Square Enix who so far haven't shown much interest in the Wii U apart from Dragon Quest X.

The chances of success are low, I know.  I also know that I prefer to at least try and do something rather than just whinge and this is all I can come up with.  It's also worth noting that Square have at least one other mystery IP being brought to the Wii U this year: http://www.digitalsp...-next-year.html

I like your thinking! Except I usually think of change.org as being for political/social causes, not for demands by consumers of the entertainment industry about how to use their privilege unwisely.

It does seem that a lot of the other petitions on there have that bent - I guess the name is a clue!  I hadn't heard of it before the weekend and was only alerted to it through other videogame petitions.  Is it a US site?  That might explain my previous ignorance of it.

I believe that the long term success of the Wii U will depend as much upon the appearance of major multi-platform releases as on exclusive titles, which are a given on any Nintendo console. In the current financial climate, more than at any other time this century, many people cannot afford to have more than one video game console.

As a long time fan of Hitman, who has no other way of playing video games, I have chosen to highlight this through the latest releases in this franchise (Hitman: Absolution and Hitman HD Trilogy): it's relevant to note that Hitman 2 was released on the Nintendo Gamecube, so it's not a new franchise to Nintendo consoles.

As far as highlighting it goes, I have started a petition for Square Enix to release these two games on Wii U with the aim of getting 20,000 signatures. If you have, or are thinking about purchasing, a Wii U then please consider signing the petition and telling your friends about it/posting it on other forums you're a member of.
