It'd be all well and good but... these people don't seem to be petitioning for sonic to be on more platforms, they seem to be doing it to get sonic from the Wii U.
Seriously, they're all "i hate the wii u, it stinks!" sorta people. *sigh*
Believe me, it has nothing to do with these people actually liking the Sonic games. It has to do with them hating Nintendo. When was the last time you heard about people going crazy over Sonic? When was the last time you heard of stores having midnight releases for the next Sonic game? When was the last time Sonic was getting nominated for GOTY? I'm not saying the games are bad or anything, in fact I've liked a lot of Sonic games. Even the 3D ones, but the series has seriously fallen from where it used to be back in the day.
Same thing happened with Bayonetta. Think about it for a minute. How much did you ever hear about Bayonetta after the first one was released? Did it seem like it had some sort of colossal sized fanbase that treasured it as if it were the greatest thing ever? Because I never did. In fact, I barely ever heard jack about Bayonetta. It was a good game that got decent reception and so-so sales. It doesn't have anything to do with the games themselves.
